Cerebral laterization and sex differences in intelligence and visuospatial processing Cerebral lateralization can be defined as “the functional specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres” (Groen‚ Whitehouse‚ Badcock & Bishop‚ 2012‚ p. 257). In this section general intelligence and visuospatial processing concerning cerebral lateralization and sex differences are discussed. Cerebral laterization of intelligence may have an effect on one hemisphere‚ sometimes both‚ depending on how general abilities

Cerebral Lateralization and Functionality March 24‚ 2011 PSY/240 Studies have been conducted on cerebral lateralization and functionality of the human brain. Many studies have revealed there are no substantial differences of the left and right hemispheres of the human brain (Pinel‚ 2009). Some functional differences have shown one hemisphere may be slightly dominating for functional differences (Pinel‚ 2009). “It is widely believed that the left hemisphere has exclusive control over language

Cerebral Lateralization and Functionality There are several methods for studying cerebral lateralization; four methods in the forefront are the study of unilateral lesions‚ sodium amytal‚ dichotic listening‚ and functional brain imaging. The traditional method for studying cerebral lateralization is unilateral lesions study‚ which is the study of the location and effect lesions have on the brain and body functionality. In past‚ this was primarily done after the subject was deceased or through

There are numerous ways in studying methods of the brain. It ranges from electrical and chemical stimulation‚ recordings of the electrical activity from the brain‚ scanning and imaging techniques‚ and so on. The effects of electrical and chemical stimulation take place within different places in the brain that selectively affect specific psychological processes as well as psychologically active medications; anesthetics and recreational drugs). These selectively affect different mental processes

Brain Lateralization and Language Reflection Terence O.

It will also cover what happens to language when the brain experiences a trauma or damage. Brain lateralization is a very complex process in which different

Methods Of Studying Human Behavior There are several methods used to study human behavior including Naturalistic Observation‚ Correlational Research‚ Experimental Method‚ Case Study‚ and the Survey Method‚ each uses a different type of approach. If I were to do a study on the relationship between alcohol and violence‚ the method I would use would be the survey research method. (Stangor‚ 2010) I would use this method because it would not be intrusive‚ require any possible harm to anyone‚ and

Methods for studying cells in the lab Centrifugation A centrifuge is a device for separating particles from a solution according to their size‚ shape‚ density‚ viscosity of the medium and rotor speed. Centrifugation can be used to separate cells from one culture or to isolate an organelle from the rest of the cell. The process relies on speed; the faster and longer the particle is centrifuged‚ the smaller the particles are that will be separated. Separation occurs by causing the larger particles

Psychology1010 W 2:30-5:20 The cerebral cortex is the outer most layer of the brain‚ and consists of a collection of nerve cells bodies made up from gray matter. The brain is divided into two hemispheres‚ and in order for communication to take place between each hemisphere the neurons talk to each other‚ and that’s called corpus callosum. A cool fact about a human cerebral cortex is that it’s larger than any animal. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes that also have the specific and
