It enables us to process complex thoughts. It can allow us to work things out in our minds and predict outcomes for actions.

]]> 2018-02-21 18:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewdenzler1/eo08j6dpd4x4/wish/233903481 How does Phineas Gage’s case show that damage to the frontal lobe can affect behaviour? matthewdenzler1 https://padlet.com/matthewdenzler1/eo08j6dpd4x4/wish/233904350 Phineas Gage's frontal lobe was severely damaged and following the incident, his personality changed. For example, he was now rude to women. The doctor's observations linked brain damage to our personality, our "sense of self" and also our ability to regulate our behavior. Biological basis for influencing behavior.

Other possible explanations include: PTSD, change after near-death experience, he met new people, stress, shunned public/close people, friends' perception.

Processing is the initial intake of information through the use of our ways of knowing. Judgement is the process in which one makes an assessment based on the analysis of information gathered from the processing. Decision-making is the process of drawing a conclusion and deciding how to act based on the judgement made.

It was through the childrens' use of processing that the main temptation was present. What the processing determined was that there was a single marshmallow in the room with them that was available for them to eat. It did not take into account the rest of the scenario and was the main variable tested through the experiment.


]]> 2018-02-21 18:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewdenzler1/eo08j6dpd4x4/wish/233906364 Can you apply the cognitive processes of processing, judgement, decision making to other situation? matthewdenzler1 https://padlet.com/matthewdenzler1/eo08j6dpd4x4/wish/233908508 We apply the cognitive processes of processing, judgement, and decision making to every situation involving a decision. We cannot escape these processes as they are part of a core system in the way we do what we do, or our behavior.

It activates our stress response and also correlates to how we identify and recognize fears. Since its function is connected to the stress response, this determines our emotional response as well. It activates stress before our conscious brain is aware of it which also interlaces with how we express our emotions as well.

Groves et. al. showed that heritability of antisocial behavior is only 28% in adults and 14% in children.]]> 2018-03-14 07:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewdenzler1/eo08j6dpd4x4/wish/241725451 How could triangulation influence the validity of this research? matthewdenzler1 https://padlet.com/matthewdenzler1/eo08j6dpd4x4/wish/241725469 By using multiple methods of research, researchers can gain more quantitative data that can be used for more analysis that will apply to the general population.
