Authors have even noted trends toward increasing modularity (particularly in the United States) in
educational curricula, architecture, literature, and music (Blair, 1988). Modularity exponentially
increases the number of possible configurations achievable from a given set of inputs, greatly
increasing the flexibility of a system. However, research also indicates that not all systems migrate
toward increasing modularity; some appear to follow a path toward increasing integration. In
product systems, for example, sets of components that once were easily mixed and matched may
sometimes be bundled into a single integrated package that does not allow (or that discourages)
substitution of other components. Many commonly used software applications are now bundled into
"software suites" that promote seam– 2000 Schilling 313 less integration. Although they do not

Java As A Programming Language
Java : Introduction Java as a programming language is one that was designed in a time when the
distribution of information was rapidly increasing. Its original purpose was to be used in a home
entertainment controller for the television, however it was much too advanced for the industry (The
History of Java Technology), and so java moved on to a much more capable, and growing internet.
Java's uses aren't just restricted to the internet though, Java is/was produced to be easily distributed
and implemented among many platforms. Java was produced with a set of goals in mind. One of its
most noteworthy and successful goals was to be portable/ cross platform. Java owes a good amount
of its success to its object oriented core, as well as being built upon its familiarity with the c
languages among other things. Java like all programming languages are judged based on their
writability, readability, reliability and overall cost. Literature Review Java is an all–around language
with it being one of the most used language of 2014 (TIOBE Software: The Coding Standards
Company) it was even used in Google's android operating system (Rosenblatt, Seth) which is home
to 84% of the mobile operating system market share (IDC: Smartphone OS Market Share). Java has
the flexibility to be used in all fields; cross platform and able to be ported over to other systems. As I

Abstract– The self–similar recursive geometry is known as Fractal. Hindu Philosophy describes the
cosmos as holonomic and self–similar in nature. In the connection of this context, fractal theory is
being followed in Indian Hindu Temple Architecture much before the discovery of Fractal Theory.
This paper is an attempt to find out the role of fractals in different elements of Indian Hindu temples.
The study has extended from the site plan level to the minute detailing level. The discussion covers
the elementary idea about the fractal theory and the basic structure of Hindu temples with supportive
and self–explanatory visuals and analysis of the topic. It also focuses on the behavioural actions of
fractals in Hindu temples and on the reasons behind its successful occurrence.
Keywords– Fractal geometry; Hindu cosmology; Hindu temple architecture; Iteration; Self–similar;

Introduction
Ancient Indian mathematicians were very skilful in geometry. They used the knowledge of
geometry in other disciplines also. They derived many of the comprehensive conclusions with the

The Constructivist Theory and Brain Development Essay
The idea of epigenesis has become well known as an integral part of the constructivist theory which
states that neural activity within the brain is largely spontaneous, driven by genetic and molecular
instances (Mareschal, D., Johnson, M.H., & Grayson, A., 2004). However, after birth, the neural
activity is influenced by sensory and motor experience and the outside environment (Mareschal et
al, 2004). Epigenesis is what the constructivist theory is about, the interaction between genes and the
environment. A study done by Petersen et al used PET, or positron emission tomography, to
understand the responses of native English adult speakers to written stimuli in the form of English
words, pseudowords or words that had no meaning but could ... Show more content on

During development, the temporal lobe is most responsible for responding to auditory (hearing)
information, however for those who cannot hear, this section was used for a different sense
(Mareschal et al, 2004). This shows that the temporal lobe in the brain, although genetically made to
hear, had used the child's sensory experience to become prominently involved with visual
processing, or in other words, adapted to the environment that the child was in. If the brain was
already made for development and not influenced by the outside world and environment, it would
seem to be nearly impossible for a hearing part of the brain to adapt to only visual processing.
Lastly, there was a study done by Mills that tested language acquisition in children, which also
showed a link to epigenesis in development. This study concluded that with experience, certain
types of processing in the brain are performed by more localised regions of the cortex (Mills, D.M,
Coffey, S.A, & Neville, H.J., 1993). The researchers collected data from ERPs that suggested
processing of small words and control stimuli is spread over a large area of the cortex at first,
however, this processing narrows to an area over the left temporal lobe only when the child's
vocabulary reaches about 200 words, regardless of the child's age (Mareschal et al, 2004). One could
argue that if this narrowing of processing of words happens at a particular age, then that area of the

Modularity of Mind
In 1983 Jerry Fodor opened the introduction to his new research of "Modularity of mind" with the
phrase; "Behavior is organized, but the organization of behavior is merely derivative". This meaning
that behaviors are simply imitations, never original nor created. Fodor created a theory of how the
mind was structured and how would perform. He studied the architecture of mind in modules; a
term that will describe that the mind had different specific structures that had precise purposes. Jesse
J. Prinz just like Fodor was a philosopher who was in opposition of the "Modularity of the mind"
theory. This essay will have as a purpose to create an argument on the explanation and disagreement
that Prinz wrote cluster by cluster against the theory "Modularity of mind" in an article called "Is the
mind really modular?"
Prinz publication "Is the mind really modular?" demonstrates a various examples and explanations,
highlighting each and everyone one of the modular systems that Fodor created. The number of
descriptions created for the modules is composed by individuals who share different points of view.
This doesn't prove that the theory is wrong, it will simply state that there is no certainty of being a
hundred percent sure. My position on this essay will be in contradiction to the approach that Prinz
argues to disapprove the "Modularity of the mind" theory.

Social Psychology : An Uphill Battle Against Behaviorism
It has been fourteen years since Goethals' (2003) "A Century of Social Psychology" and seven years
after Ross, Lepper, and Ward's (2010) "History of Social Psychology". From that time, much has
changed in the historical, intellectual, and social zeitgeist that has always influenced social
psychology as a field–through the latter's desire to meet the needs and trappings of its place and
time. In the same way that people interact with the situation to understand behavior and construe
their social reality, the discipline (not unlike a living organism of its own) has grown and been
defined by the priorities and research questions most relevant to the social issues of each point in
history.
For instance, American social psychology has been an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Following these themes and directions, a constructive means of evaluating what social psychology is
(as a field, and as a body of theories, methods, and thought) and what it will become in the future is
through its crucial role in responding to current issues impinging in our social lives and reality. It
bears repeating that Kurt Lewin found that the best theories are the practical ones, where researchers
take their findings and knowledge to make sense of and make a difference in the real world. It would
not be too much to say that social psychology (and its emphasis on the situation where the person is
embedded) is needed now more than ever, in a time of radical dispositionism, social structural
transformation, and rapid changes in the ways we live.
The Biology of Social Behavior
Parents often tell their children to stay away from strangers, because unknown people are dangerous
(and early human civilizations survived by staying away from weird outsiders). Society places a
premium on attractive, intelligent, and well–off individuals as they signify good genetic material and
the possibility of biologically endowed offspring. All of these concerns are in place to ensure that
people get to survive and preserve their genetic line through reproduction with the best mates to
ensure high genetic quality (Durrant & Ellis, 2003). Ultimately, a dangerous implication would be
the justification of social norm transgressions: that

The Moral Foundation Theory ( Mft )
MORAL FOUNDATIONS THEORY Introduction The moral foundation theory (MFT) is a theory
of social psychology that explains the genesis of the reasoning morally and its variation by human
beings based on modular and innate foundation. Jonathan Haidt and Joseph Craig advocated the
theory by building Richard Shweder's cultural anthropology work. The popularity of the theory is
seen in the development of the theory in the book the "righteous mind" a book by Haidt. Currently,
the theory has six foundations, which include sanctity, authority, loyalty, liberty, fairness, and care
(Kugler, 2014, p. 414). The proponents of the foundations suggest a possibility of adding more
foundations to the existing ones. The original work of the theory mainly focused on the cultural
differences that exhibit in individuals. Subsequent development concentrates on the political
ideology and the application of the theory in politics. Scholars argue that moral foundation theory
can explain the presence of disparity in opinions concerning political issues like abortion and gay
marriages. The three categories of politician observed in theory are the libertarians, conservatives,
and progressives. According to research by Iyer et al. (2012, p.42367) libertarians use fairness and
liberty foundations only in their reasoning. Conservatives apply all the six foundations equally,
while progressives in their argument use the care and impartiality. Through moral foundation theory,

Riordan Information System Business Requirements
Over the last decade Riordan has expanded from a single hospital and pair of clinics to a health

New applications will utilize off–the–shelf software components that have been customized per
Riordan's specifications and further messaged to ensure that each application will integrate smoothly
with all the others in order to create a single cohesive whole. Great effort will be made to ensure that
the data structures used in each are consistent in order to simplify the creation of the enterprise's

Modal Memory
Modularity is defined as a theory that postulates the mind as having been made of unique,
purposeful, autonomous modules. Data is moved from the external environment and passed through
a set of sensory transducers. The data is transformed to a code that is appropriate for the modules,
which are dominion specific (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). The modules convert the outcomes
of their progressions into a common code that can assume other non–modular, domain–general
procedures. They have the ability to hold material of a particular sort. Brain–injured patients support
the modular view. There are various case studies of patients who have been compromised due to a
wound in a particular part of the brain as a result of a stroke or accident. ... Show more content on

The pre–attentive stage has simple features, and they are identified by color, motion, orientation,
curvature spontaneously and without effort (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). The features pop out
smoothly, and attention is not mandatory. The quest happens in parallel. In addition, the focused
attention stage features are joined together to create object representations, and attention is
obligatory, while the search is serial. Parallel search occurs when the objective fluctuates from
distractors alongside a single perceptual dimension. Serial search is essential when the objective
fluctuates from distractors along two perceptual dimensions, and they are shaped and colored
(Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). Feature Integration Theory has been used broadly among
perceptual investigators. The scientist has conducted experimentations that have produced an
abundance of duplications and additional research findings. The theory does not clarify how and
where the visual system features get put together. It also does not explain how the brain does it, and
it is assigned as a binding in vision. To understand feature integration theory, attention need to be

Darwin's ideas being assimilated into popular culture while Lamarck's work languished in obscurity.
Darwin's theory of Evolution proposed 'natural selection' and 'adaptation', that an organism could
only change as a result of 'mutation', a change in the 'genotype' and that mutation had to 'infer' an
advantage in the environment (phenotype) to be selected and therefore passed on. This process
according to Darwin occurred below the level of consciousness [Darwin, 1859]. The organism is in
essence 'blocked off' from its experience, leading to Weismann's idea of a 'barrier' [Weismann, 1885]
and the central view of the genetic paradigm, which is 'reductionistic'.
Lamarck's theory alternatively, is of 'transformational' development, which results from the
organism's experience of its environment [Lamarck, 1809]. Its prerequisite is that of the organism
being 'open' to the experiences of its environment. 'Interaction' occurs at the genetic and
environmental levels. Hence logically leading to the Epigenetic paradigm, which supports the same
holistic, arrangements proposed by Lamarck [Burkhardt, 1977].
Two traditions with developmental implications were influenced as a result of the differing
viewpoints of Darwin and Lamarck; they were Genetic Determination and Epigenesis. Genetic
Determination sees human development as reaching an 'endpoint'; this is in essence 'preformational'.

Learnability of a Language Essay
Learnability of a Language
I.
A child must achieve competence with an infinite language based on a finite number of heard
sentences. This is the essence of Noam Chomsky's "poverty of the stimulus" argument. As originally
presented, it made a case for nativism, forcing empiricist theories to explain how such competence
is achievable. In Stephen Pinker's Language Learnability and Language Development, he uses
learnability both as a challenge to theories of language acquisition, and as a heuristic for evaluating
them. Terrence Deacon, in The Symbolic Species, while dismissive of most of Chomskyan
linguistics, still sees the learnability problem as a challenge to any theory that hopes to explain
human linguistic knowledge. I will begin ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They also forbid transformations from applying to already–transformed data. These two constraints
strongly limit the context–freeness of language. By doing so, only a finite number of sentences at a
certain level of nesting are allowed; after enough time, the learner can conclude that all unseen
sentences of that depth are ungrammatical. These strong constraints are not arbitrary: Wexler and
Culicover found that most proposed transformations fit the two conditions. Also, Chomsky
independently concluded from examining linguistic data that a similar process, the "subjacency
principle," was operating (Pinker 1979).
Pinker, too, concludes that the scope of possible languages is limited: "Children acquire language by
exploiting rich formal and substantive constraints on the types of rules that languages may have...
[the child] entertains a small subset of the hypotheses consistent with the data" (1984, p. 358).
Pinker concludes that constraints, including word order and phrase structure geometry (e.g.
subjacency) aid the learning of grammars (1984, p. 358).
Deacon's response to Gold's argument does not make any specific claims about the set of possible
grammars. However, according to Deacon's theory, one would expect to find a plentitude of

and adolescents using play therapy experience counter–transference at alarming rates when
compared to those who use psychotherapy to treat adults (Gil & Rubin, 2005). During therapy
sessions with children and adolescents, the therapist may not be aware of his or her personal biases
and unresolved emotional needs, which may result in inappropriate responses or behaviors by the
therapist. Over identify, desire to protect, rescue fantasies, competiveness with parents, and
befriending are just a few of the counter–transference response and behaviors therapists have

Cognitive Science : The Scientific Study Of The Mind
Midterm Exam
Question 1–Cognitive Science is defined as the scientific study of the mind. Cognitive Science uses
the scientific method as it primary methodology. One of the main features of cognitive science is the
multifaceted method, and it uses linguistics, robotics, neuroscience, cognitive, the evolutionary
approach, psychology, the emotion approach, the social approach, philosophy, and artificial
intelligence (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). Cognitive Science uses all these different methods
mentioned above, and this is why cognitive science is different. It takes form linguistic, philosophy,
and neuroscience, etc. As a result, the traditional cognitive psychological view does not utilize all
these fields and areas of study, and this is why cognitive science applies to almost everything we
breath, feel, and touch; therefore, cognitive science applies and intertwines all these different fields
of study (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). Cognitive Science refers not so much to the sum of all
disciplines but to their connection or diverging work on specific problems. Cognitive Science is a

In the case study we can see that the authors talk about the importance of innovation when it comes
to the long–term success of every product company. By reading the article one gets an
understanding that the authors are asking executives of any product company should not view
manufacturing as a cost center and by shifting their manufacturing units offshore they are hindering
a company's capacity to innovate. In the end the authors give us different methods that a company
can use to better improve their product line without shifting their manufacturing bases offshore and

To be successful many large scale manufacturing operations must find a keen balance that addresses
the more task–focused needs of the production process as well as the financial planning, oversight
and control requirements of any major modern business organization. As I have mentioned couple of
points in the above section, but here in this critique I will be talking about how sourcing can help a
company to make a decision regarding keeping its manufacturing unit in United states. Modularity
plays an important role in sourcing as we can see from the article, where modularity in product
design can be seen as a way to new product development. Modularity in process design may speed
new product manufacturing setup times, reduce costs, and enhance the profitability of the lower
product volumes. Modular products tend to have fewer components for assembly and are therefore
cheaper to assemble. Modules are created with some aspects of production in mind, however this
modularization is done without understanding the implications of design. Although often yielding
highly functional products, once the manufacturing process is over this unstructured modularization
often leads to costly redesigns or expensive products. Modularity requires maintaining independence
between components and processes in different modules, encouraging

Left Brain vs. Right Brain
Left Brain vs. Right Brain "According to the theory of left–brain or right–brain dominance, each
side of the brain controls different types of thinking." (Cherry 2012) From books to television
programs, you've probably heard the phrase mentioned that people are either right brained or left
brained thinkers or perhaps you have gone online to take a test to see which one you are.
Psychologist have been researching the brain to try and understand learning capability's that can
help with such things as epilepsy, dyslexia and other seizure and learning problems. The right brain–
left brain theory came from the work of Roger W. Sperry, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in

"In a nutshell, we humans do not literally have 'two brains,' but we do have two simultaneous
systems of mental organization and functioning – each whole and complete in itself, each having
highly specialized skills. As some scholars have summarized it: the 'left brain' does, the 'right brain'
is. This is, however, an oversimplification, for quite clearly both the hemispheres are active, though
in markedly different ways. As Karl Schmitz–Moormann has noted, the 'right brain' cannot
accurately be considered a 'passive partner' in the human enterprise. Indeed, since the right
hemisphere is responsible for our holistic perception of the world, one might argue that it is the
dominant one, with the 'left brain' functioning as 'analyzer for the right brain's perceptions ... a
servant of the right brain' ("Philosophical and Theological Reflection," 255). While considering the
new research and the old research, it is safe to say that both sides of the brain act equally in ways we
process information. It is how we interpret the information individually that makes us either a right–
brain thinker or a left–brain thinker but no matter what side is your preference, we are all capable of

C initiated existence in the years 1969–1973, in parallel with the early improvement of the Unix

progressions topped somewhere around 1977 and 1979, when versatility of the Unix framework was
being exhibited. Amidst this second period, the first generally accessible portrayal of the dialect
appeared: the C Programming Language, often called the `white book ' or `k&r ' [kernighan 78]. At
last, in the center 1980s, the dialect was formally institutionalized by the ANSI X3j11 board of
trustees, which rolled out further improvements. Until the early 1980s, in spite of the fact that
compilers existed for an assortment of machine architectures and working frameworks, the dialect
was just about only connected with Unix; all the more as of late, its utilization has spread a great

To what extent is it true that the brain is a sophisticated information processor?
The human brain is the most important part of the nervous system. The brain along with the spinal
cord makes up the central nervous system and together they control all of the body's important
functions, such as motor functions, speech, vision, hearing and also involuntary functions like
breathing. Many of these functions are localised to a specific area of the cerebrum. The cerebrum is
split into four lobes; the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, which are specialised to carry
out their different roles. The cortex is divided into two hemispheres; the left hemisphere is
associated with motor control, speech and language functions and logic; ... Show more content on

They both transmit information by using electricity; however, the brain uses chemical messages as
well as electrical impulses. A computer can process information much faster than the brain can; for
example mathematical calculations can be carried out immediately on a computer rather than having
to work out the answer logically like the brain would have to. However, the brain is capable of
emotion, imagination and creativity, whereas a computer can only follow the instructions given to it.
Another important comparison between the brain and a computer is the fact that the brain cannot be
turned off unlike a computer. If any part of a computer gets damaged, it is easily replaceable.
However, if an important part of the brain is in any way damaged, it can be difficult to regain
normal function and near impossible to replace it.
The brain is given the analogy of the hardware and software of a computer. The brain is seen as the
hardware as it is the physical structure and the mind is viewed as the software. This is because
software is not physical and somewhat controls what processes can be carried out on a computer. A
computer has a hard disk which can store a large volume of information, which is similar to the long

of a word. Also, the Yerkes (2011) text defines Lexicology as a study focusing on the meaning of
words. Thus, we see a lexicon as an area in the human brain which stores the meaning, and all
aspects, associated with a word. However, to reach the point where a lexicon may be used language
must be acquired. To acquire such a skill, one must master the four levels associated with language.
FOUR LEVELS OF LANGUAGE To constitute what a language is, four levels of language
structure have been established. Specifically, these levels of analysis include phenomes, words,
sentences and texts. According to the Willingham (2007) text, phenomes are a small unit of sound
which make up a word. A potential problem is if these words are mispronounced. For example,
slang changes from one area to another. When a person is thrown a new word, it throws them off on
the rest of the topic. If I say "I'm fixin to go downtown," some may only know "fixin" as literally
fixing something and not preparing or getting ready as "fixin" means in this context. This non
familiar use of a word may be confusing to oneself, but to the person saying the word, "fixin" is a
lexicon built into a vocabulary. Accents of foreigners may be another potential barrier. By
mishearing these phenomes and not understanding language due to this deficit, obtaining
meaningful language is difficult. Words themselves, and specifically the separation of words, may

Cognitive Development Of The Brain
Cognitive development of the brain has been a focus for scientists throughout the twentieth century.
Considerable advances have been made in the field of neuropsychology and with the assistance of
modern technology such as MRI and brain imaging we are able to understand much more about
brain functions. There is still a lot of research to be done to explore the links of cognitive
functioning of the cortex. I will discuss localized functioning in the brain as well as the innate
modularity versus modularization theory in an attempt to explain how this organisation has been
formed and localized from birth.
The human brain develops in a similar way to other mammals, although the sequence of events in
which it develops is significantly extended. The human brain starts in the prenatal phase a few
weeks after conception. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that ultimately forms the brain
and spinal cord. Along the inner surface of the tube neurons are formed, which are nerve cells that
receive information that are passed to other nerve cells via electrochemical impulses. Once neurons
are born they then migrate to their final locations in the developing brain.
Outside of the womb is where the later stage of brain development takes place and is known as the
postnatal phase. This is where environment becomes important because it encompasses a child's
physical and social world, increasing the number of neural connections in the brain.

Comparing Two Approaches to Cognitive Psychology
Cognitive psychology is concerned with the internal processes involved in making sense of the
environment and deciding what action may be appropriate. These processes include attention,
perception, learning and reasoning, (Eysenck and Keane, 2010).There are a number of approaches
which can be used within this field, however for the purposes of the essay only two will be
compared; cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. The aims of cognitive neuroscientists are
often similar to those of cognitive psychologists; they are both interested in the brain and cognition,
(Medin and Ross, 1996). Nevertheless, it could be argued that there are also some fundamental
differences between the two approaches, especially in the research methods ... Show more content

In contrast, a technique favoured by cognitive neuropsychologists is neurological case studies.
These are reports on individuals who have suffered damage to the nervous system. Researchers can
observe the behaviour of participants and interpret how this has been affected by their brain injury.
However, the conclusions that can be taken from such studies are also limited, especially when they
involve a single subject, (Payne and Wenger, 1982).
These procedures involved in cognitive neuroscience require high levels of control, therefore are
usually conducted in a laboratory setting, thus producing quantitative data that can be easily
analysed, (Eysenck and Keane, 2010). Nevertheless, the techniques vary in the precision with which
they identify the brain areas active when a task is performed (spatial resolution), and the time course
of such activation (temporal resolution).Therefore, several procedures often need to be combined to
compensate for limitations, (Sternberg and Wagner, 1999).
Despite the fact that cognitive neuropsychology can be less scientific in areas, it also deals with
dissociation and double dissociation. The existence of this can help to suggest the specific parts of

The Theory Of Mind Mechanism ( Tomm )
Though many of us may not realize it, humans have a remarkable set of abilities that allows us to
understand, empathize with, and predict others' thoughts and feelings. In other words, the average
person is able to "put himself in another's shoes." In our daily lives we tend to take this skill for
granted. It is only when something goes wrong that we realize how important it actually is. For
autistic individuals, this mindreading deficit is all too real. In fact, an inability to engage in this type
of understanding of other's mental states is often taken as the hallmark sign of autism. Mindreading
is defined as the ability to "make sense of other people and to coordinate our behavior with theirs"
(Bermudez, 354). Many cognitive scientists believe the theory of mind mechanism (TOMM) is
important to mindreading. These scientists contend that autistic individuals suffer from an
impairment to this theory of mind module. However, others have argued that theory of mind, which
is "the ability to form beliefs about the mental states of others", is not a modular ability, but instead
the result of the interaction of many different cognitive skills. In their paper "Generous or
Parsimonious Cognitive Architecture? Cognitive Neuroscience and Theory of Mind," Philip Gerrans
and Valerie E. Stone take this view of theory of mind. I will review this paper and its arguments,

16th March 2016 Human self–deception and the modular mind
The model of three planes of the mind is nothing new. Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian
psychologist was the first to make this widespread into majority of society as we know it today.
Even though his theories have from time to time been widely debated among Psychologists because
they are nearly impossible to justify scientifically, Freud nevertheless created a handy theoretical
model of the mind, which he separated into 3 tiers or sections – the conscious mind or ego, the
preconscious, and the unconscious mind.
Our conscious mind is what people associate us with, as it is where most people exist and thrive
daily. The conscious mind consists of everything that we are aware of. This is the part of our
psychological processing that we can think and talk about rationally in other words this the
cognitive portion.
The subconscious part of the mind, on the other hand, is in charge of our most recent memoirs, and
it is in spontaneous interaction with the resources of the mighty unconscious mind. It is the portion
of the mind that signifies regular memory. While we are not consciously aware of this information at
any given time, we can recover it and bring it into consciousness when required.

The answer to the question posed above lies in the philosophical idea of dualism; this idea finds its
roots in Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy, mainly in the idea of multiple souls. This idea, then
must be examined via the correspondence of the distinctive functions of plants, animals, and people:
a nutritive soul of growth and metabolism that all three share; a perceptive soul of pain, pleasure,
and desire that only people and other animals share; and the faculty of reason that is unique to
people only. This must be synthesized into the assumption that the way in which the body would be
controlled by the mind in the Cartesian view would hinge on the ability of the soul, in its multiple
parts, to control the body esoterically without the interference of the brain.
This idea, then leads onward to the ideas of Noam Chomsky, who viewed the mind as a body in and
of itself which had its own "organs". These "organs" were construed as "ontogenetic development is
to be viewed as the unfolding of an "intrinsically determined process." In particular: "... we take for
granted that the organism does not learn to grow arms or to reach puberty.... When we turn to the
mind and its products, the situation is not qualitatively different from what we find in the case of the

After fMRI was first introduced, it has been under criticism that it is not hard science. The most
common technique, the BOLD (blood oxygen level–dependent) fMRI, measures the increase in
regional cerebral blood flow in response to increased metabolism, which is to be caused from
heightened activity of neuron firing (Menon & Kim, 1999). Some neurologists believe that this

However, the juries should be made aware that fMRI scan is an arbitrarily interpreted output, and

Some compare neurologists with fMRI to molecular biologists with light microscopes (Jaffe, 2004),
for the reason that the capacity of fMRI is not sufficient for neurological study. It must be taken into
account that later light microscopes evolved to electron microscopes, meaning that also fMRI will
offer improved spatial and temporal information in the future. Its potential must be acknowledged,
and in the meantime there should be efforts to find complementary analysis methods (Hubbard,
2003).

Proteins control all processes within the cell. Though some proteins work individually, most work in
groups to participate in some biochemical event. Examples of these processes include protein–
protein interaction networks, metabolome, correlation/co–expression values, synthetic lethality, and
signal transduction (Cooper, lecture). The study of proteins that work together can allow a greater
understanding of cellular processes. New pathways, proteins, or systems can be identified via
network analysis. In order to recognize groups of proteins that work together, a biological network,
called a graph, is formed.
The study of graphs has a prominent history in mathematics and statistics. Graph Theory

An Evaluation of Case Studies and Their Contribution to...
Cognitive psychology is the study of the brains internal processes that guide behaviour; to study
cognition, psychologists examine case studies of patients with damaged brains that can infer areas,
and functions involved in particular processes. Patient studies have provided insights into the
processes that take place within our minds, and have enabled psychologists to create models, which
can be tested and fractionated. Cognitive neuropsychology has developed from cognitive
psychology to become a discipline in its own right; it investigates the function and structures of the
brain involved in cognitive processes and should not be confused with cognitive neuroscience,
which is primarily concerned with neural structures and their ... Show more content on

Studying unseen processes presents difficulties, it would not be practical or ethical to open a
persons' head to try to unravel the processes that take place whilst they make a cup of tea or drive
their car to work. Although examining processes presents difficulties, studying patients who have
sustained brain damage can provide insights into parts that play a role in cognitive processes.
Findings from case studies are extrapolated to the general population to provide an insight into
normal cognition. An early example and often–cited case study is Phineas Gage who suffered
damage to his frontal lobe because of an accident in 1848; prior to the accident, he was friendly and
dependable, however after the accident, he became unreliable and his social skills suffered, this
suggests the frontal lobe is involved in planning and social skills. Damasio (1994, (cited in Jansari,
2010)) recreated damage sustained by Gage, after a patient exhibited the same changes in behaviour
after undergoing surgery to remove a tumour in the frontal lobe. The recreation confirmed the
suggestions made at the time of Phineas Gage, thus providing an insight into how a part of the brain
the frontal lobe in this case is involved in cognitive functioning. The study of Phineas Gage is an
early example of the kind of studies that are used in

Human Development And Family Relations
Psychology is the scientific studies of the human mind, functions and their behavior
Psychology primarily focuses on those demonstrating behavior in certain given context, seeking to
understand and explain thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Research psychologist studies exciting
opportunities in psychology; it looks at various branches in the field of psychological research, for
example, in clinical psychology, which includes both scientific research, focusing on the search for
general principles, and clinical service, focusing on the study and care of clients, and information
gathered from each of these activities influences practice and research., development psychology
focuses on behaviors and conducts, while trying to understand the formation of its studies. The field
of psychology commonly uses experimental methods in what is known as experimental psychology.
Researchers design experiments to test specific hypotheses, or to evaluate functional relationships.
My paper will attempt to look at why people are subjected to authority figures, on their obedience to
authority figures.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY RELATIONS:
Professionals rely on research findings. For example, counselors need to know about the latest
advances in family or play therapy techniques. A physician may examine the most effective way to
help elderly adults cope with loss of memory skills. A pediatric RN nurse, working with chronically

Authors have even noted trends toward increasing modularity (particularly in the United States) in educational curricula, architecture, literature, and music (Blair, 1988). Modularity exponentially increases the number of possible configurations achievable from a given set of inputs, greatly increasing the flexibility of a system. However, research also indicates that not all systems migrate toward increasing modularity; some appear to follow a path toward increasing integration. In product systems, for example, sets of components that once were easily mixed and matched may sometimes be bundled into a single integrated package that does not allow (or that discourages) substitution of other components. Many commonly used software applications are now bundled into "software suites" that promote seam– 2000 Schilling 313 less integration. Although they do not prohibit using other vendor components, they discourage it by offering dramatically improved performance through the combination of the particular set of applications. Even bicycle componentryonce typically sold as individual components, such as brakes, gear sets, cranks, and derailleurs–now is sold predominantly in integrated component bundles that may not be mixed and matched. In organizational systems, researchers have noted that whereas in many industries firms other industries appear to be disaggregating, (e.g., banking and health care) are characterized by increasing ...

Its original purpose was to be used in a home entertainment controller for the television, however it was much too advanced for the industry (The History of Java Technology), and so java moved on to a much more capable, and growing internet. Java's uses aren't just restricted to the internet though, Java is/was produced to be easily distributed and implemented among many platforms. Java was produced with a set of goals in mind. One of its most noteworthy and successful goals was to be portable/ cross platform. Java owes a good amount of its success to its object oriented core, as well as being built upon its familiarity with the c languages among other things. Java like all programming languages are judged based on their writability, readability, reliability and overall cost. Literature Review Java is an all–around language with it being one of the most used language of 2014 (TIOBE Software: The Coding Standards Company) it was even used in Google's android operating system (Rosenblatt, Seth) which is home to 84% of the mobile operating system market share (IDC: Smartphone OS Market Share). Java has the flexibility to be used in all fields; cross platform and able to be ported over to other systems.

Role Of Fractal Geometry Of Indian Hindu Temple Architecture Role of Fractal Geometry in Indian Hindu Temple Architecture Dhrubajyoti Sardar M.Arch Scholar, Architecture & Planning Department Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India E–mail: ar.dhrubajyotisardar@gmail.com S. Y. Kulkarni Professor & Former Head Architecture & Planning Department, IIT Roorkee Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India E–mail: syk_iitr@yahoo.com Abstract– The self–similar recursive geometry is known as Fractal. Hindu Philosophy describes the cosmos as holonomic and self–similar in nature. In the connection of this context, fractal theory is being followed in Indian Hindu Temple Architecture much before the discovery of Fractal Theory. This paper is an attempt to find out the role of fractals in different elements of Indian Hindu temples. The study has extended from the site plan level to the minute detailing level. The discussion covers the elementary idea about the fractal theory and the basic structure of Hindu temples with supportive and self–explanatory visuals and analysis of the topic. It also focuses on the behavioural actions of fractals in Hindu temples and on the reasons behind its successful occurrence. Keywords– Fractal geometry; Hindu cosmology; Hindu temple architecture; Iteration; Self–similar; Repetition Introduction Ancient Indian mathematicians were very skilful in geometry.

  • 12. The Constructivist Theory and Brain Development Essay The idea of epigenesis has become well known as an integral part of the constructivist theory which states that neural activity within the brain is largely spontaneous, driven by genetic and molecular instances (Mareschal, D., Johnson, M.H., & Grayson, A., 2004). However, after birth, the neural activity is influenced by sensory and motor experience and the outside environment (Mareschal et al, 2004). Epigenesis is what the constructivist theory is about, the interaction between genes and the environment. A study done by Petersen et al used PET, or positron emission tomography, to understand the responses of native English adult speakers to written stimuli in the form of English words, pseudowords or words that had no meaning but could ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... During development, the temporal lobe is most responsible for responding to auditory (hearing) information, however for those who cannot hear, this section was used for a different sense (Mareschal et al, 2004). This shows that the temporal lobe in the brain, although genetically made to hear, had used the child's sensory experience to become prominently involved with visual processing, or in other words, adapted to the environment that the child was in. If the brain was already made for development and not influenced by the outside world and environment, it would seem to be nearly impossible for a hearing part of the brain to adapt to only visual processing. Lastly, there was a study done by Mills that tested language acquisition in children, which also showed a link to epigenesis in development. This study concluded that with experience, certain types of processing in the brain are performed by more localised regions of the cortex (Mills, D.M, Coffey, S.A, & Neville, H.J., 1993). The researchers collected data from ERPs that suggested processing of small words and control stimuli is spread over a large area of the cortex at first, however, this processing narrows to an area over the left temporal lobe only when the child's vocabulary reaches about 200 words, regardless of the child's age (Mareschal et al, 2004). One could argue that if this narrowing of processing of words happens at a particular age, then that area of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Modularity of Mind In 1983 Jerry Fodor opened the introduction to his new research of "Modularity of mind" with the phrase; "Behavior is organized, but the organization of behavior is merely derivative". This meaning that behaviors are simply imitations, never original nor created. Fodor created a theory of how the mind was structured and how would perform. He studied the architecture of mind in modules; a term that will describe that the mind had different specific structures that had precise purposes. Jesse J. Prinz just like Fodor was a philosopher who was in opposition of the "Modularity of the mind" theory. This essay will have as a purpose to create an argument on the explanation and disagreement that Prinz wrote cluster by cluster against the theory "Modularity of mind" in an article called "Is the mind really modular?"

The number of descriptions created for the modules is composed by individuals who share different points of view. This doesn't prove that the theory is wrong, it will simply state that there is no certainty of being a hundred percent sure.

From that time, much has changed in the historical, intellectual, and social zeitgeist that has always influenced social psychology as a field–through the latter's desire to meet the needs and trappings of its place and time. In the same way that people interact with the situation to understand behavior and construe their social reality, the discipline (not unlike a living organism of its own) has grown and been defined by the priorities and research questions most relevant to the social issues of each point in history.

Following these themes and directions, a constructive means of evaluating what social psychology is (as a field, and as a body of theories, methods, and thought) and what it will become in the future is through its crucial role in responding to current issues impinging in our social lives and reality. It bears repeating that Kurt Lewin found that the best theories are the practical ones, where researchers take their findings and knowledge to make sense of and make a difference in the real world. It would not be too much to say that social psychology (and its emphasis on the situation where the person is embedded) is needed now more than ever, in a time of radical dispositionism, social structural transformation, and rapid changes in the ways we live. The Biology of Social Behavior Parents often tell their children to stay away from strangers, because unknown people are dangerous (and early human civilizations survived by staying away from weird outsiders). Society places a premium on attractive, intelligent, and well–off individuals as they signify good genetic material and the possibility of biologically endowed offspring. All of these concerns are in place to ensure that people get to survive and preserve their genetic line through reproduction with the best mates to ensure high genetic quality (Durrant & Ellis, 2003).

The Moral Foundation Theory ( Mft ) MORAL FOUNDATIONS THEORY Introduction The moral foundation theory (MFT) is a theory of social psychology that explains the genesis of the reasoning morally and its variation by human beings based on modular and innate foundation. Jonathan Haidt and Joseph Craig advocated the theory by building Richard Shweder's cultural anthropology work. The popularity of the theory is seen in the development of the theory in the book the "righteous mind" a book by Haidt. Currently, the theory has six foundations, which include sanctity, authority, loyalty, liberty, fairness, and care (Kugler, 2014, p. 414). The proponents of the foundations suggest a possibility of adding more foundations to the existing ones. The original work of the theory mainly focused on the cultural differences that exhibit in individuals. Subsequent development concentrates on the political ideology and the application of the theory in politics. Scholars argue that moral foundation theory can explain the presence of disparity in opinions concerning political issues like abortion and gay marriages. The three categories of politician observed in theory are the libertarians, conservatives, and progressives. According to research by Iyer et al. (2012, p.42367) libertarians use fairness and liberty foundations only in their reasoning. Conservatives apply all the six foundations equally, while progressives in their argument use the care and impartiality. Through moral foundation theory, different cultures construct ...

Data is moved from the external environment and passed through a set of sensory transducers. The data is transformed to a code that is appropriate for the modules, which are dominion specific (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). The modules convert the outcomes of their progressions into a common code that can assume other non–modular, domain–general procedures. They have the ability to hold material of a particular sort.

The pre–attentive stage has simple features, and they are identified by color, motion, orientation, curvature spontaneously and without effort (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). The features pop out smoothly, and attention is not mandatory. The quest happens in parallel. In addition, the focused attention stage features are joined together to create object representations, and attention is obligatory, while the search is serial. Parallel search occurs when the objective fluctuates from distractors alongside a single perceptual dimension. Serial search is essential when the objective fluctuates from distractors along two perceptual dimensions, and they are shaped and colored (Friedenberg and Silverman, 2012). Feature Integration Theory has been used broadly among perceptual investigators. The scientist has conducted experimentations that have produced an abundance of duplications and additional research findings.

Darwin's theory of Evolution proposed 'natural selection' and 'adaptation', that an organism could only change as a result of 'mutation', a change in the 'genotype' and that mutation had to 'infer' an advantage in the environment (phenotype) to be selected and therefore passed on. This process according to Darwin occurred below the level of consciousness [Darwin, 1859]. The organism is in essence 'blocked off' from its experience, leading to Weismann's idea of a 'barrier' [Weismann, 1885] and the central view of the genetic paradigm, which is 'reductionistic'. Lamarck's theory alternatively, is of 'transformational' development, which results from the organism's experience of its environment [Lamarck, 1809]. Its prerequisite is that of the organism being 'open' to the experiences of its environment. 'Interaction' occurs at the genetic and environmental levels. Hence logically leading to the Epigenetic paradigm, which supports the same holistic, arrangements proposed by Lamarck [Burkhardt, 1977]. Two traditions with developmental implications were influenced as a result of the differing viewpoints of Darwin and Lamarck; they were Genetic Determination and Epigenesis.

This is the essence of Noam Chomsky's "poverty of the stimulus" argument. As originally presented, it made a case for nativism, forcing empiricist theories to explain how such competence is achievable. In Stephen Pinker's Language Learnability and Language Development, he uses learnability both as a challenge to theories of language acquisition, and as a heuristic for evaluating them.

These two constraints strongly limit the context–freeness of language. By doing so, only a finite number of sentences at a certain level of nesting are allowed; after enough time, the learner can conclude that all unseen sentences of that depth are ungrammatical. These strong constraints are not arbitrary: Wexler and Culicover found that most proposed transformations fit the two conditions. Also, Chomsky independently concluded from examining linguistic data that a similar process, the "subjacency principle," was operating (Pinker 1979). Pinker, too, concludes that the scope of possible languages is limited: "Children acquire language by exploiting rich formal and substantive constraints on the types of rules that languages may have... [the child] entertains a small subset of the hypotheses consistent with the data" (1984, p. 358). Pinker concludes that constraints, including word order and phrase structure geometry (e.g. subjacency) aid the learning of grammars (1984, p. 358).

This is, however, an oversimplification, for quite clearly both the hemispheres are active, though in markedly different ways. As Karl Schmitz–Moormann has noted, the 'right brain' cannot accurately be considered a 'passive partner' in the human enterprise. Indeed, since the right hemisphere is responsible for our holistic perception of the world, one might argue that it is the dominant one, with the 'left brain' functioning as 'analyzer for the right brain's perceptions ... a servant of the right brain' ("Philosophical and Theological Reflection," 255).

Changes In Child Development The changes in development occur through Stages: Sensorimotor: understanding the world through action (0–2 years), Preoperational: use representations (2–7 years), Concrete–operational: acquisition of operations, (7–11 years), and Formal–operational: ability to apply logical reasoning (11–15 years) Children's intellectual structures change through a variety of forms or stages. Each of those stages comes from the previous one. The child incorporates and transforms that stage (assimilation and accommodation) and becomes prepared to the next one.

There is also the Modularity Nativism which explains that people are born with some innate, specific modules of information that become activated throughout development. Children develop or are born with theories that are specific to certain domains. Throughout development, children have the opportunity to test these theories. People are Dynamic (constantly adapting) and Systems (organized and with interrelated levels) This approach tries to keep a wholistic view of complex human behavior. A person can understand where a new behavior comes from only by looking at the overall pattern, at both previous and current events, and at many levels of causation. It proposes the interaction of child in social contexts. In this approach, there are two general levels: 1–distal and molar, which is the moment the child exists and 2–proximal social and physical settings (movement and interactions with significant others.

  • 48. Essay on The Sophistication of the Brain To what extent is it true that the brain is a sophisticated information processor? The human brain is the most important part of the nervous system. The brain along with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system and together they control all of the body's important functions, such as motor functions, speech, vision, hearing and also involuntary functions like breathing. Many of these functions are localised to a specific area of the cerebrum. The cerebrum is split into four lobes; the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, which are specialised to carry out their different roles. The cortex is divided into two hemispheres; the left hemisphere is associated with motor control, speech and language functions and logic; ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They both transmit information by using electricity; however, the brain uses chemical messages as well as electrical impulses. A computer can process information much faster than the brain can; for example mathematical calculations can be carried out immediately on a computer rather than having to work out the answer logically like the brain would have to. However, the brain is capable of emotion, imagination and creativity, whereas a computer can only follow the instructions given to it. Another important comparison between the brain and a computer is the fact that the brain cannot be turned off unlike a computer. If any part of a computer gets damaged, it is easily replaceable. However, if an important part of the brain is in any way damaged, it can be difficult to regain normal function and near impossible to replace it. The brain is given the analogy of the hardware and software of a computer. The brain is seen as the hardware as it is the physical structure and the mind is viewed as the software. This is because software is not physical and somewhat controls what processes can be carried out on a computer. A computer has a hard disk which can store a large volume of information, which is similar to the long term memory store in the brain. Short term memory is stored in the brain, much like RAM in a computer (Lytton, 2002). Information processing ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

How about why our communication is considered a language and other animal's communication is not considered language? A wide range of beliefs exist on what defines language. Thus, by exploring the definition of language and lexicon, evaluating language's key features, the four levels of language structure and processing, and the role of language in Cognitive Psychology, an understanding of what language is becomes clear. Let us begin by defining language and a term named lexicon. LANGUAGE AND LEXICON DEFINITION One big question, when the subject of language comes up, is exactly what language is. What ...

Thus, we see a lexicon as an area in the human brain which stores the meaning, and all aspects, associated with a word. However, to reach the point where a lexicon may be used language must be acquired. To acquire such a skill, one must master the four levels associated with language. FOUR LEVELS OF LANGUAGE To constitute what a language is, four levels of language structure have been established. Specifically, these levels of analysis include phenomes, words, sentences and texts. According to the Willingham (2007) text, phenomes are a small unit of sound which make up a word. A potential problem is if these words are mispronounced. For example, slang changes from one area to another. When a person is thrown a new word, it throws them off on the rest of the topic. If I say "I'm fixin to go downtown," some may only know "fixin" as literally fixing something and not preparing or getting ready as "fixin" means in this context. This non familiar use of a word may be confusing to oneself, but to the person saying the word, "fixin" is a lexicon built into a vocabulary. Accents of foreigners may be another potential barrier. By mishearing these phenomes and not understanding language due to this deficit, obtaining meaningful language is difficult. Words themselves, and specifically the separation of words, may be another potential barrier to language ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Considerable advances have been made in the field of neuropsychology and with the assistance of modern technology such as MRI and brain imaging we are able to understand much more about brain functions. There is still a lot of research to be done to explore the links of cognitive functioning of the cortex. I will discuss localized functioning in the brain as well as the innate modularity versus modularization theory in an attempt to explain how this organisation has been formed and localized from birth. The human brain develops in a similar way to other mammals, although the sequence of events in which it develops is significantly extended. The human brain starts in the prenatal phase a few weeks after conception. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that ultimately forms the brain and spinal cord. Along the inner surface of the tube neurons are formed, which are nerve cells that receive information that are passed to other nerve cells via electrochemical impulses. Once neurons are born they then migrate to their final locations in the developing brain. Outside of the womb is where the later stage of brain development takes place and is known as the postnatal phase. This is where environment becomes important because it encompasses a child's physical and social world, increasing the number of neural connections in the brain. The most obvious aspect of postnatal ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Comparing Two Approaches to Cognitive Psychology Cognitive psychology is concerned with the internal processes involved in making sense of the environment and deciding what action may be appropriate. These processes include attention, perception, learning and reasoning, (Eysenck and Keane, 2010).There are a number of approaches which can be used within this field, however for the purposes of the essay only two will be compared; cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. The aims of cognitive neuroscientists are often similar to those of cognitive psychologists; they are both interested in the brain and cognition, (Medin and Ross, 1996). Nevertheless, it could be argued that there are also some fundamental differences between the two approaches, especially in the research methods ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In contrast, a technique favoured by cognitive neuropsychologists is neurological case studies. These are reports on individuals who have suffered damage to the nervous system. Researchers can observe the behaviour of participants and interpret how this has been affected by their brain injury. However, the conclusions that can be taken from such studies are also limited, especially when they involve a single subject, (Payne and Wenger, 1982). These procedures involved in cognitive neuroscience require high levels of control, therefore are usually conducted in a laboratory setting, thus producing quantitative data that can be easily analysed, (Eysenck and Keane, 2010). Nevertheless, the techniques vary in the precision with which they identify the brain areas active when a task is performed (spatial resolution), and the time course of such activation (temporal resolution).Therefore, several procedures often need to be combined to compensate for limitations, (Sternberg and Wagner, 1999). Despite the fact that cognitive neuropsychology can be less scientific in areas, it also deals with dissociation and double dissociation.

  • 58. The Theory Of Mind Mechanism ( Tomm ) Though many of us may not realize it, humans have a remarkable set of abilities that allows us to understand, empathize with, and predict others' thoughts and feelings. In other words, the average person is able to "put himself in another's shoes." In our daily lives we tend to take this skill for granted. It is only when something goes wrong that we realize how important it actually is. For autistic individuals, this mindreading deficit is all too real. In fact, an inability to engage in this type of understanding of other's mental states is often taken as the hallmark sign of autism. Mindreading is defined as the ability to "make sense of other people and to coordinate our behavior with theirs" (Bermudez, 354). Many cognitive scientists believe the theory of mind mechanism (TOMM) is important to mindreading. These scientists contend that autistic individuals suffer from an impairment to this theory of mind module. However, others have argued that theory of mind, which is "the ability to form beliefs about the mental states of others", is not a modular ability, but instead the result of the interaction of many different cognitive skills. In their paper "Generous or Parsimonious Cognitive Architecture? Cognitive Neuroscience and Theory of Mind," Philip Gerrans and Valerie E. Stone take this view of theory of mind. I will review this paper and its arguments, then address the response to Gerrans and Stone made by Carl Hildebrand. Gerrans's and Stone's argument consists of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian psychologist was the first to make this widespread into majority of society as we know it today. Even though his theories have from time to time been widely debated among Psychologists because they are nearly impossible to justify scientifically, Freud nevertheless created a handy theoretical model of the mind, which he separated into 3 tiers or sections – the conscious mind or ego, the preconscious, and the unconscious mind. Our conscious mind is what people associate us with, as it is where most people exist and thrive daily. The conscious mind consists of everything that we are aware of. This is the part of our psychological processing that we can think and talk about rationally in other words this the cognitive portion. The subconscious part of the mind, on the other hand, is in charge of our most recent memoirs, and it is in spontaneous interaction with the resources of the mighty unconscious mind. It is the portion of the mind that signifies regular memory. While we are not consciously aware of this information at any given time, we can recover it and bring it into consciousness when required.

The modular model of thought is primarily used to describe these differences in terms of evolution, or lack thereof, in the brains of AMH and N. The differences between the brains of AMH and N are generally shown through the differing size and shape relative to each other with distinctly different types of behavior shown by each group. These differences are highlighted no better than in the area of innovation, in which, N showed almost no progress after almost 150 ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The answer to the question posed above lies in the philosophical idea of dualism; this idea finds its roots in Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy, mainly in the idea of multiple souls. This idea, then must be examined via the correspondence of the distinctive functions of plants, animals, and people: a nutritive soul of growth and metabolism that all three share; a perceptive soul of pain, pleasure, and desire that only people and other animals share; and the faculty of reason that is unique to people only. This must be synthesized into the assumption that the way in which the body would be controlled by the mind in the Cartesian view would hinge on the ability of the soul, in its multiple parts, to control the body esoterically without the interference of the brain. This idea, then leads onward to the ideas of Noam Chomsky, who viewed the mind as a body in and of itself which had its own "organs". These "organs" were construed as "ontogenetic development is to be viewed as the unfolding of an "intrinsically determined process." In particular: "... we take for granted that the organism does not learn to grow arms or to reach puberty.... When we turn to the mind and its products, the situation is not qualitatively different from what we find in the case of the body"" (Fodor, The Modularity of the Mind).

Is it reliable enough to be used as evidence in court? After fMRI was first introduced, it has been under criticism that it is not hard science. The most common technique, the BOLD (blood oxygen level–dependent) fMRI, measures the increase in regional cerebral blood flow in response to increased metabolism, which is to be caused from heightened activity of neuron firing (Menon & Kim, 1999). Some neurologists believe that this is an indirect way of measuring brain activity, and is not sufficient to support any idea.

I believe fMRI will gain stronger grounds in the court later in the future though, with the advance of technology as mentioned above. Some compare neurologists with fMRI to molecular biologists with light microscopes (Jaffe, 2004), for the reason that the capacity of fMRI is not sufficient for neurological study. It must be taken into account that later light microscopes evolved to electron microscopes, meaning that also fMRI will offer improved spatial and temporal information in the future.
