Rises in technology have allowed for deeper research into the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain. This paper discusses the exploration of sleep deprivation and its negative correlation with an individual’s ability to use emotional and cognitive empathy. It is hypothesized that over the span of 48 hours a participants ability to experience cognitive and emotional empathy will decrease.
taken (Jones, Wilson, 2011).Collected works from Wong, et al 2009, have provided us with some perceptions on the effect chocolate have on men and women concerning memory gain. In an examination of the study of the effect of chocolate on the brain different chocolates were used on adult’s patients who were in college had to take tests. There were an insufficient amount of studies recording valuable effects of the components found in chocolate. Chocolate has enough materials to create a phenomenon
this drug also has a negative impact on social attitudes and relationships as it becomes increasingly more acceptable among younger generations. However, while it is certainly growing in popularity as time passes, its destructive long-term effects do not gain the similar attention. For those who escape the fatality of this drug, there then comes the risk of impairing cognitive functions and altering the brain’s ability to process memories. The use of this devastating drug can be avoided by addressing
research of Peal and Lambert in 1962, this was a break through in research, which proved that kids who were bilingual did better at the tasks than those who were monolingual. Prior to this, bilingualism had been thought to cause negative set backs among children. These setbacks include retardation in children and increased confusion in separating both languages at an early stage. Although this theory has been outdated, bilingualism is still known to cause confusion for a short period of time throughout
Memory is the faculty of the brain that stores information for later recall, it is the brain function that allows us as humans to learn and remember information. Brain function is prevalently influenced by gender in many aspects; contrasting performance between male and females in various memory tasks has been observed in numerous studies over time (Andreano & Cahill 2009). Men forgetting important dates such as birthdays or an anniversary and women not remembering their way to a certain place or
technology and other diagnostic methods, it is now possible to see more clearly into the scope of neurological development and accurately determine the etiology of these diseases. One of such disorders is Autism; a multifactorial condition impairing normal brain development. It affects many aspects of development, including social behavior, cognitive ability and communication skills1 and is commonly diagnosed in children before the age of three1. The symptoms of this condition can vary greatly between individuals;

Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. Genetic processes work in combination with an organism 's environment and experiences that influence development and behavior of the organism, often stated to as nature vs nurture. Trait inheritance of genes is still a main principle
weight gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function. Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction Effects on the Brain Sleep deprivation can adversely affect the brain and cognitive function.[17] A 2000 study, by the UCSD School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in San Diego, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology to monitor activity in the brains of sleep-deprived
The Bender-Gestalt Test Clinicians and psychology professionals endeavor to employ qualified tests in their assessment of individuals who may be in need of additional psychological or educational assistance. The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test or Bender-Gestalt test is an instrument that is maneuvered to measure a myriad of situations such as intelligence evaluation, neuropsychological dysfunction, visual motor functioning, and as a basic projective tool for assessing personality (Piotrowski, 1995)
