while those who use the left side are more logical‚ detail-oriented and analytical (Novotney‚ 2013). In order to acknowledge these differences this essay will highlight what is meant by lateralisation of the brain and the specialisation of the human cerebral cortex. Equally as important‚ is to explain how handedness has developed and how it relates to cognitive functioning. Finally‚ by looking at how we study the brain and different research techniques used‚ a thorough analysis can be discussed. The

and they perform completely different functions. The pituitary glad influences the release of hormones. Regulation of these are crucial for maintaining stable gender identification. Biology’s influence on gender identity focuses on the cerebral lateralization and hormonal function. In the womb‚ a fetus is determined biologically a male or female. However‚ gender identification is assumed by either masculine or feminine characteristics.

as it affects connectivity between the hemispheres and the process of lateralization and specialization in brain development. Their mastery of gross and fine motor skill and the importance of artistic expression during the play years is a critical factors that contribute to the risk of accidental injury during the play years; and approaches to prevention of accidental death rates of infants.

and more accurate. In conclusion using the mean and standard deviation to determine our hypothesis‚ it was calculated that the left hemisphere had a higher mean and standard deviation score compared to the right hemisphere. Introduction The cerebral hemispheres are very similar in appearance‚ but they differ significantly in their structure. One of the best known differences between the two structures is motor control; the right hemisphere controls the left half of the body and the left hemisphere

Sex is biological but gender is psycho-sociocultural. Gender means being male or female and defined by social status‚ roles and attitudes about the sexes. Specifically‚ gender is culturally based explanations of male and female behaviors such as careers. Gender identity is defined as perception of oneself (Segall‚ Dasen‚ Poortinga‚ & Berry‚ 1999).

American Military University LEFT BRAIN VS. RIGHT BRAIN: IMPACTS ON LEARNING 2 Abstract This paper explores the wide variety of attributes that each hemisphere in your brain has. Not only will the process of lateralization will be touched but also why lateralization of the brain affects each and every single human being in different learning styles and a different processing speeds of learning. Memory due to split-brain surgery and damage to the brain will also be a huge factor to why
