Essay On Lateralization

The psychodynamic approach uses personality as its main focus to describe leadership. The psychodynamic approach is to raise awareness for leaders to know and understand their strengths and weakness in their personality traits. This approach allows individuals to identify their Myers-Briggs typologies which will help them understand their leadership qualities and disadvantages. The Myers-Briggs typologies are extraversion versus introversion, sensing versus intuiting, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perceiving. The Psychodynamic Approach Survey states my four Myers-Briggs typologies are extravert, sensor, thinker and judger and I agree with my results.

“involves a subject conducting a certain task, in this case recalling a series of numbers, while listening to different kinds of background music. If sound exhibits acoustical variations, or what Perham calls an "acute changing-state," performance is impaired. Steady-state sounds with little acoustical variation don't impair performance nearly as much.”(Cutler).

I started my education in Erie, Pennslyviana.I attend McDowell High. I would say that we were one of the richer schools were I live. I am going to talk about my first assignment Brainology. I thought it was very interesting and it thought me a lot about how some people have different mindsets.

Auditory Processing Disorders, also known as Central Processing Disorders, are difficulties in the processing of auditory information in the central nervous system. The definition for an Auditory Processing Disorder is frequently changing and evolving. According to ASHA standards in 2005, a “central processing disorder refers to difficulties in the perceptual processing of auditory information in the central nervous system and the neurobiological activity that underlies the processing and gives rise to the electrophysiological auditory potentials (ASHA 2005).” Recent evidence has declared auditory processing disorders to be a legitimate clinical disorder resulting from confirmation of the link between well-defined lesions of the central nervous system and deficits on behavioral and electrophysiological central auditory measures (Musiek, F. Journal of American Academy of Audiology). An individual is likely to perform normally in tests including clicks and tones, rather than speech. There is a significant difference between the receptors for audition and speech processing. It is imperative that these disorders are diagnosed and treated early in a child’s development to eliminate developmental negative consequences.

Numerous researches and experiments have been done based on whether the human being possess one brain divided into two parts (left and right hemisphere) or whether we have two different brains working together. The psychologist Roger W. Sperry was the first on research this topic with some experiments on animals. Then, he later started working with Michael Gazzaniga. They were able to find split-brain patients. Those patients had their brain split as way of reducing or stopping uncontrollable epilepsy. Many agreed to participate in the experiments. The experiments that they held focused on finding out what kind of limitations would each brain have if they operated independently, how the 5 senses

The temporal lobe is meant for processing sounds and dealing with almost everything hearing related. We believe this is possibly our most interactive exhibit with multiple activities designed to test and explore one’s hearing potential! Two activities include a hearing test and a pitch hearing test both of which are clearly interactive and enjoyable for both young and old

The human life span is from conception to death and can be divided into eight different developmental periods. This essay will focus on the early childhood period that ranges from two to five or six years of age. Firstly, this essay will describe the typical developmental milestones during early childhood and how they play an important role in each developmental stage that follows. Secondly, it will analyse how the home and educational environments influence early childhood. Finally, it will define Auditory Processing Disorder and the characteristics of a child with this condition. This essay will demonstrate the significant impact Auditory Processing Disorder can have significant effects on development and in the future.

The study is based on the comparison of the visual and auditory attention of children. Children were divided into three groups:

Have you ever wondered why our ears are shaped the way they are? The curves and dips in or ears help us receive the longitudinal waves in the air. After we hear a noise, the temporal lobe in our brain allows us to comprehend that sound.

    A bilateral hearing screening was performed at 20 dB HL for 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 Hz. Jeffrey responded to all frequencies bilaterally.

Psychodynamic theorists believe that demanding parents might play a role in the development in this disorder. People with this disorder might consider their environment to be hostile because of their parents consistent and unreasonable demands. Some cognitive theorists believe that people with this disorder have broad maladaptive thoughts of people, such as “people will harm you if given the chance.” Biological theorists suggest that this disorder might have genetic causes.

When a child who has a profound sensorineural hearing loss turns one year of age they become candidates for a cochlear implant. Before a child is implanted it is important to perform an MRI to assess the condition of the VIIIth nerve (some conditions associated with ANSD can damage the VIIIth nerve). Studies show that cochlear implantation in children with ANSD can lead to improved speech and language skills (especially compared to children who are not implanted and only receive hearing aids). This is because a cochlear implant allows the child to access a broader frequency range than they would get with just hearing aids (Norrix & Velenovsky, 2014, p. 1571-1572). In one study researchers looked at children with ANSD and their central auditory development and behavioral outcomes after being fit with cochlear implants. During the study 24 children with ANSD were examined and all of which were fit with cochlear implants. The mean age of these children was 3.8 years. The average amount of time that the children had their cochlear implants was 0.8 years (with a standard deviation of 0.57). None of the children who participated in the study had cochlear nerve deficiency. The P1 CAEP was used to assess the central audiotry maturation in all of the children studied and the IT-MAIS (infant toddler meaningful auditory integration scale) was used to assess the behavioral outcomes of the children. The results showed that all but one child in the study showed progress in cortical maturation after being fit with cochlear implants. Most of the children in the study showed age-appropriate central auditory maturation with the acceptation of the few other children who showed delayed cortical responses. There were no children in the study that showed abnormal cortical responses. The results of this study also showed that there could be a critical period at which children with ANSD are implanted. This critical

As a small child, it was frustrating to not be able to make the adults in my life understand me. Many years later after development of the brainstem auditory evoked response test (BAER), a doctor who it seemed was always on the cutting edge of his science and working with neurologists at the old Lovelace Medical Center, tested my hearing using the BAER . For me, the results of this test were life changing because for the first time in 28 years my not being able to understand much of the conversation around me and consequently, my ability to communicate had a name—a diagnosis—central auditory processing disorder—I heard at two different speeds and both were at a slower rate than that of the general population.

Advancement made in regard to cognitive neuroscience has enabled a better understanding of the cognitive processes in infants. Studies have indicated that cognitive development in infants starts before they are born. In the eighth week of pregnancy, fetuses have the ability to hear. They become accustomed to their

Harvey Fletcher and Wilden Munson revealed, among other things, that the human ear is not linear, and is not capable of
