Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ambidexterity, or Two-Handedness and Two-Brainedness: An Argument for Natural Development and Rational Education Having long been accustomed to write with either hand and to use the two hands interchangeably, I am quite in sympathy with the object of this Treatise. To train the human body completely and symmetrically, that is, to cultivate all its organs and members to their utmost capacity, in order that its functions may also attain their maximum development, is an obligation that cannot safely be ignored. This completeness and symmetry can only be secured by an equal attention to, and exercise of, both sides of the body - the right and the left; and this two-sided growth can alone be promoted and matured by educating our two hands equally, each in precisely the same way, and exactly to the same extent. It is hardly possible to lay too much stress upon this bimanual training, or to attach too much importance to the principle, because our hands - and our arms, from which, for purposes both of argument and education, they cannot be separated - not only constitute our chief medium of communication with the outer world, but they are like wise the pre-eminent agency by which we stamp our impress upon it. Moreover, and of equal import to the individual, it is by the movements of these members that the whole muscular tissues on both sides of the body are exercised, strengthened, and perfected.

Download or read book Neuropsychology of Left Handedness written by Jeannine Herron and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuropsychology of Left-Handedness focuses on the neurological imperative and unique brain organization of left-handers. This book is organized into two parts. Part I analyzes ideas about the origins of left-handedness, such as possible genetic mechanisms, manner in which asymmetries may occur during the first cell cleavages following fertilization, handedness of twins, and possibility that some left-handedness may be due to environmental or even pathological influences. The second part is devoted to a variety of investigations of asymmetric hemisphere specialization in right- and left-handers. The different groups of left-handers, which includes male and female, strong left-preferrers and ambidexters, familial and non-familial lefthanders, and those who prefer an “inverted position for writing as opposed to a “non-inverted position, are also identified. This publication is a good reference for medical practitioners and specialists interested in the neuropsychology of left-handedness.

Book excerpt: This “interesting, informative, and provocative book” explores the pervasive influence of neuroscience and “the view that we are essentially our brains” (History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences). Being Brains offers a critical exploration of neurocentrism, the belief that “we are our brains,” which came to prominence in the 1990s. Encouraged by advances in neuroimaging, the humanities and social sciences have gravitated toward the brain as well, developing neuro-subspecialties in fields such as anthropology, aesthetics, education, history, law, sociology, and theology. Even in the business world, dubious enterprises such as “neuromarketing” and “neurobics” have emerged to take advantage of the heightened sensitivity to all things neuro. While neither hegemonic nor monolithic, the neurocentric view embodies a powerful ideology that is at the heart of some of today’s most important philosophical, ethical, scientific, and political debates. Being Brains examines the internal logic of this new ideology, as well as its genealogy and its main contemporary incarnations. Being Brains was chosen as the 2018 Outstanding Book in the History of the Neurosciences by the International Society for the History of the Neurosciences.

CHAPTER III THEORIES OF ONE-HANDEDNESS One-handedness is so common all over the world, and has been so in every age and nation back to the remotest historic period, that the conclusion is forced upon us that there must be a very cogent reason for such a manifestation. Doubtless there have been all along the past centuries of civilization periodical waves of curiosity or inquiry as to the prevalence of one-handedness; for observant minds must have been struck with the anomalous state of things, and- the superior dexterity of their right hands. But in spite of the most careful study, we are almost as much in the dark regarding the true cause of dextrality, and of the much less frequent sinistrality, as were our forefathers thousands of years ago. Elaborate and plausible theories have been formulated to account for the one-handedness of man, but, as we shall see in the sequel, there is nothing hitherto advanced that can be accepted as the prime cause of it. Wonderful, as all will grant it is, that a two-handed creature should be one-handed in practice, it is still more wonderful that, go where we will, men are not merely Onehanded, they are all of them RiGHT-handed! If there had been as many left-handed persons as right-handed, or thereabouts, the problem would be a different one, and we might feel inclined to challenge the perfection of an economy that produced a two-handed order of beings who were unable to utilize the limbs with which they were provided, finding that it was much better to possess one dexterous hand than two. But when it is further seen that practically every nation elects to use only one hand, and that they are all equally peculiar in selecting the same hand, namely, the Right, for the post of honour, the complexity...

Download or read book On the Other Hand written by Howard I. Kushner and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does being left-handed make a person different in any way that matters? Since the late Stone Age, approximately 10 percent of humans have been left-handed, yet for most of human history left-handedness has been stigmatized. In On the Other Hand, Howard I. Kushner traces the impact of left-handedness on human cognition, behavior, culture, and health. A left-hander himself, Kushner has long been interested in the meanings associated with left-handedness, and ultimately with whether hand preference can even be defined in a significant way. As he explores the medical and cultural history of left-handedness, Kushner describes the associated taboos, rituals, and stigma from around the globe. The words “left” and “left hand” have negative connotations in all languages, and left-handers have even historically been viewed as disabled. In this comprehensive history of left-handedness, Kushner asks why left-handedness exists. He examines the relationship—if any—between handedness, linguistics, and learning disabilities, reveals how toleration of left-handedness serves as a barometer of wider cultural toleration and permissiveness, and wonders why the reported number of left-handers is significantly lower in Asia and Africa than in the West. Written in a lively style that mixes personal biography with scholarly research, On the Other Hand tells a comprehensive story about the science, traditions, and prejudices surrounding left-handedness.

Book excerpt: With over 350 illustrations, this impressive volume traces the rich history of ideas about the functioning of the brain from its roots in the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome through the centuries into relatively modern times. In contrast to biographically oriented accounts, this book is unique in its emphasis on the functions of the brain and how they came to be associated with specific brain regions and systems. Among the topics explored are vision, hearing, pain, motor control, sleep, memory, speech, and various other facets of intellect. The emphasis throughout is on presenting material in a very readable way, while describing with scholarly acumen the historical evolution of the field in all its amazing wealth and detail. From the opening introductory chapters to the concluding look at treatments and therapies, this monumental work will captivate readers from cover to cover. It will be valued as both an historical reference and as an exciting tale of scientificdiscovery. It is bound to attract a wide readership among students and professionals in the neural sciences as well as general readers interested in the history of science and medicine.
