Cerebral Lateralization Field Study Abstract: The study addressed the cerebral lateralization between the use of the two hemispheres of the brain, left and right. The two hemispheres of the brain are specialized to process different types of cognitive tasks. Each hemisphere has its own independent stream of consciousness so the hemispheres have different modes of thinking (Weiten). This connection states that when the left hemisphere of the brain is stimulated, the human subject’s eyes would go to the right, as the brain’s left hemisphere controls the movement of the right side of the body. Furthermore, the right hemisphere controls the physical movement of the left side of the body, including but not limited to eye movement.
Indirect Realism- There is objection to direct realism, by studies done on perception and psychological processes realists have distinguished between external objects as the causes and objects of perceiving and closed sensa which is the functions of our brain. The form of this view has been named representative realism. This view as well, has its own defecits, and has also been criticized by philosophers. This view has been modernized to introduce a more acceptable theory on perception. Representative Realism, “seeing a table.” The actions involved in seeing this object both through the brain processes is derived from the sensa and that we are directly aware of our senses, which form together what we know as the shape, size, color and other properties that we visualize.
Language impairment can be influenced by brain damage (Toates, 2010). This, Gall cited in Toates, (2010), was able to conclude from his studies of normal individuals and those whose behaviour deviated from the norm. He argued that different parts of the outer regions of the brain serve different roles or functions (localisation). These he related back to the control of cognitive processes, characteristics and behaviour. Additionally he identified that different regions of the brain interact or work together to enable a process.
Each hemisphere of a person’s brain can processes the opposite side of the body. This means that the right side of the brain has control over the left side of the body and can see what is being processed through the left eye, while the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and can see what is being processed through the right eye. Very confusing yes, but that is how the brain works. A look into the way that the left brain and the right brain function will shed light on the impact they have on learning. Left brain learners and right brain learners are very different and prefer to learn in different styles and different environments.
Next, I will explain Lewis’s reply about why Knowledge Argument can’t refute physicalism. Finally, I will express my own opinion and show my reasons. Frank Jackson puts knowledge Argument forward. Although he thinks that physical knowledge provides us with some information relate to the world, and help people to understand the world in an objective way. However, in the process of experience, human cannot feel the “feeling” using the concepts of that “feeling”, which is named Qualia.
The ways of knowing, emotion, reason, language and perception, when all linked together give us a minimum idea of what really happened in the world around us. People who are missing such areas of understanding and processing in their minds often suffer complex disabilities which causes them to deal with the world around them differently. Such an example are the idiot savants, who suffer from mental disorders, however these disorders have given them on extraordinary ability to memorize things they see around them at a higher than average level. Because such people only have one cortex, unlike normal people who have a division of two sections, they miss certain brain functions which would normally trigger emotions or reason. Their single cortex however, enables them to use their memory as efficiently as possible, reaching up to 98%!
As such there is no one-way of approach in assisting clients, as far as I can see there are no overriding theories, which influence my intervention and practice since I have not been aware of them. This exercise is therefore retroactive as far as I am concerned and what I have to do is look at my practice and then identify elements of theories that I recognise, in what I have been delivering. When I first see clients I try to make them comfortable to enable me to develop some level of rapport with them so that they the can express what their expectations regarding the meeting and answer questions that are somewhat personal. I try to keep things on a positive level and respect client’s views and feelings showing empathy but at the same time clarifying their expectations. In this respect I believe that I am taking a person centred approach.
Additionally, people are said to prefer one type of thinking over the other. For example, a person who is "left-brained" is often said to be more logical, analytical and objective, while a person who is "right-brained" is said to be more intuitive, thoughtful and subjective. While Sperry was able to observe people’s different personalities, he also could see which functions lied in which halves. When he cut the corpus collosum in an attempt to reduce seizures in patients, he noticed that they could not name objects directly in front of them. This led to years of experiments which gave Sperry a reliable theory on which functions lie in which hemispheres.
The left brain vs. the right brain Lisa Fettro APU Professor Nikki Charles The right and left hemispheres of the brain usually process information differently. People tend to process information they receive using their dominant side of the brain. However, people tend to learn both sides of the brain participate in a manner that is balanced. This is a clear indication that a person uses all sides of his or her brain to learn. The right part of the brain has its own style of processing information.
The question remains, can a person really be right- or left-brained? Does the brain really use only one side to control our bodies? [It’s absolutely true that some brain functions occur in one or the other side of the brain. Language tends to be on the left, attention more on the right. But people don’t tend to have a stronger left- or right- sided brain
