Document Summary
Neurological soft signs: subtle behavioral signs of brain dysfunction. Chapter 2: clumsiness, awkward gait, poor hand-eye coordination, other perceptual and motor problems, [tk"s visual anomaly ] The left hemisphere: left hemisphere is better at, math, judging time and rhythm, coordinating order of complex movements, processes information sequentially, or locally, faster processing, [tighter associations (ex/ fewer, more direct, associations)] The right hemisphere: right hemisphere is good at, perceptual skills, expressing and detecting other"s emotions, good at recognizing patterns, faces, and melodies, processes information simultaneously and holistically, globally, slower processing, [looser associations (i. e. more associations)] Differences between hemispheres: keenan, nelson et al (2001, where people were shown a morphed photo, of themselves and a famous person, when under anesthetic of either left- or right hemisphere. Finding that: right hemisphere sees itself, left hemisphere sees the famous person. The intense social isolation of autism spectrum disorder may arise because of damage to mirror neurons distributed through the brain.
