31. Sex differences
In the 19th century, it was thought that each side
of the brain was associated with a specific
gender: the left corresponding with masculinity
and the right with femininity and each half could
function independently.
The right side of the brain, the inferior side, was
thought to be prominent in women, savages,
children, criminals, and the insane. A prime
example of this in literature is Robert Louis
Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.
32. Handedness
Handedness has been implicated in
determining which hemisphere is
naturally dominant.
Due to decussation the dominant
hemisphere is opposite to the main
hand/foot.
Left-handed and ambidextrous
individuals have been shown to have
more efficient hemispheric interactions.
33. Self-harm
Damage to the RHS has been shown to
drastically increase the likelihood of self-
inflicted harm and suicide as calculative
ideas such as the prospect of future are
lost.
RHS damage has also been shown to
drastically decrease social performance
and appropriateness as these behaviors
stem from inhibition of boisterous activities
which is no longer possible in these
patients.
Let's take a look at the Agenda- first of all we're going to look at who we are as teachers , then move on to a quick review of what we have covered on the course so far, later we'll look at what's coming up on the course and finally we'll hopefully make some Nys resolutions!
Talking of resolutions- has anyone made any yet? Yeah? Can you share it with us? Thanks
I've also made a very important Nys resolution – that is to send fewer messages to my participants on the course!!
