The left brain is rational, and other lies you've been told about neuroscience
to say one hemisphere is acting as a mere "backup of the other" is completely wrong. I agree, the plasticity of the brain is nothing short of extraordinary, however there are a couple things in your comment I couldn't help but comment on... first, a lobectomy is removal of a lobe in the brain (e.g. the temporal or parietal lobe), a hemispherectomy refers to the removal of an entire hemisphere of the brain. Although the neural and functional recovery of the patient is damn incredible, they will not have the FULL neural capacity as a child with a fully intact brain. Certain lobes are intrahemispheric rather than existing in both lobes. One hemisphere of the brain does not 'mirror' the other, there are certain 'tendencies', 'specialities', or 'preferences' (word choice is sometimes a tricky one in neuroscience) in each hemisphere. It is definitely safe to say that one hemisphere does not do anything close to acting as a backup for the other. Wow.
The Ten Most Revealing Psych Experiments
Psychology is the study of the human mind and mental processes in relation to human behaviors - human nature. Due to its subject matter, psychology is not considered a 'hard' science, even though psychologists do experiment and publish their findings in respected journals. Some of the experiments psychologists have conducted over the years reveal things about the way we humans think and behave that we might not want to embrace, but which can at least help keep us humble. That's something. 1. The Robbers Cave Experiment is a classic social psychology experiment conducted with two groups of 11-year old boys at a state park in Oklahoma, and demonstrates just how easily an exclusive group identity is adopted and how quickly the group can degenerate into prejudice and antagonism toward outsiders. Researcher Muzafer Sherif actually conducted a series of 3 experiments. 2. The prisoners rebelled on the second day, and the reaction of the guards was swift and brutal. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Who Multi-Tasks and Why? Multi-Tasking Ability, Perceived Multi-Tasking Ability, Impulsivity, and Sensation Seeking
The present study examined the relationship between personality and individual differences in multi-tasking ability. Participants enrolled at the University of Utah completed measures of multi-tasking activity, perceived multi-tasking ability, impulsivity, and sensation seeking. In addition, they performed the Operation Span in order to assess their executive control and actual multi-tasking ability. The findings indicate that the persons who are most capable of multi-tasking effectively are not the persons who are most likely to engage in multiple tasks simultaneously.

Why Your Narrative is Wrong: How Your Mind Creates Narrative Out of Incomplete Info, then Refuses to Revise It
Introduction Your narrative is wrong. Wait, you say, what do you mean by "narrative"? Narrative: a story or account of events, experiences, or the like,whether true or fictitious. Note the last part: whether true or fictitious. Everybody has a narrative about something. Your narrative is "wrong", in the sense that it is NOT "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Human brain records experiences, not perfect memories, and the more surprising and emotional the experience, the more you remember them.Narratives are created out of these experiences by the "interpreter" in your brain, based on your pre-existing experiences, world-view, and biases, (i.e. context).Once you created a narrative, you are EXTREMELY reluctant to revise it. In most cases, this "wrong" narrative is of no real consequence. Experience vs. You probably think that your memory is like an old-style tape-based camcorder: It records exactly what happened, and the recorded signal fades over time. You are wrong.
What Is Rationality? | Center for Applied Rationality
########MKeenan disabled 2013-6-1######### The Story of Intel Semiconductor giant Intel was originally a memory chip manufacturer. Gordon replied without hesitation. “Okay,” said Andy. That year, Andy and Gordon shifted the focus of the company to microprocessors, and created one of the greatest success stories in American business. Andy and Gordon had been held hostage by a well-documented cognitive bias known as the “commitment effect” — in this case, an irrational commitment to their past identity as a memory chip manufacturer. During the last 40 years, psychologists have discovered that even high-IQ people like Andy Grove and Gordon Moore are prone to certain kinds of errors when thinking and deciding. What Rationality Is Not For some people, the word “rationality” is associated with being judgmental, with not having emotions, with never relying on intuition, or with valuing only quantifiable things like money and ignoring qualitative things like happiness or love — like Mr.
