Phineas Gage was a railroad worker in the 1800's who was working on blowing up the side of the mountain. This process involved drilling a hole into a rock, filling it with blasting powder, then putting sand on top of the powder before packing it down with an iron rod. One day, Phineas Gage forgot to put sand in the hole, so when he started packing it with the iron rod, it reacted with the blasting powder and created a spark. This caused the iron rod to rocket upward towards Phineas Gage. The explosion

The “Missfortune” of Phineas Gage “In a moment, Phineas will have a horrible accident”(Fleischman 2). These words are taken from the book Phineas Gage: A Gruesome but True Story About Brain Science, and the accident they speak of will change the world as we know it. At the time of the accident a man named Phineas Gage was lying explosives to clear the way for the railroad. He was regarded as one of the best foremen by his employers, but that is to be no more. In a fraction of a second, a three foot

Task 1: What is so remarkable about the human brain? A History of the Brain - The Beast Within (Video 6) The Beast Within refers to Phineas Gage who is commonly known for being one of the most recognised patients in neuroscience as a result of his traumatic accident. His case had a great influence on Psychology and early neurology because his observable behaviour after the incident aided scientists in their theories of localization of brain function (Twomey, 2010). In 1848, he suffered a devastating

Standardized Test Standardized test have been a means measuring student performance. Some important questions that always come up regarding standardized test are what are the tests really measuring? Are they measuring a person’s intelligence? Their ability to perform well on standardized tests? Or just some random quantity of the person’s IQ? When examining the issues around which these tests are given and the content of the tests themselves, it becomes apparent that however useful the

B2028002 Michelle Jacques TMA1 – Part 1. Intelligence tests, are they a measure of distance rather than a measure of strength? Intelligence is an interesting concept and whilst we understand and can agree that it is what differentiates us from other all the other animals it is almost impossible to agree exactly how to measure it. One of the preferred definitions by Dr Jenny Taylor, a clinical physiologist is that “intelligence is the ability for the organism to adapt itself to the environment in

A psychosocial phenomenon known as ‘race’ has the power to bind a group of people together and determine how they are expected to behave (Kendig, 2011). Our behaviour is determined by another phenomenon known as ‘intelligence’ (Colom, Karama, Jung, & Haier, 2010). Since these are both such fundamental aspects of how our society functions, it is crucial for psychologists to understand how these factors interact. However, despite many circulating theories, psychologists have yet to agree upon the extent

Millions of children start new lives every day. The process of their development has always been of question to us; we are completely unaware of the exact processes that they go through. Human psychologist continue to ponder the dispute of whether the factors that structure a human are biological or circumstantial. Several contradicting theories have been made about the nature versus nurture discussion. Through personal experience and being an older sibling, I am able to clearly analyze and make

Intelligence is one of the most heritable traits thus, people differ in intelligence ranges. Heritability estimates range from 25% to 40% in early childhood to 80% in adulthood. These ranges may be in specific domains but those who do well in one domain often do well in others, leading towards general intelligence. In order to measure and evaluate differences in intelligence, psychometric tests are used to cover cognitive domains. These cognitive domains are reasoning, processing speeds, executive
