How lefties, righties see the world differently

How lefties, righties see the world differently | Science News | Scoop.it

Be careful next time you cast a vote. Your “handedness” might make you choose the wrong candidate, according to a research review published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
The research sheds light on the so-called “body-specificity hypothesis” which simply means that how we make decisions and how we communicate with each other is influenced not only by our minds, but by our physical bodies.

Human Nature and the Neurobiology of Conflict - Left versus Right, in the Brain

Human Nature and the Neurobiology of Conflict - Left versus Right, in the Brain | Science News | Scoop.it

Areas of inquiry once reserved for historians and social scientists are now studied by neuroscientists, and among the most fascinating is cultural conflict.
Science alone won't provide the answers, but it can offer new insights into how social behavior reflects -- and perhaps even shapes -- basic human biology.

Learning left from right

Learning left from right | Science News | Scoop.it

(Medical Xpress) -- Pop psychology assertions about left-brain/right-brain differences are pretty much tosh. But that’s not to say there aren’t any differences between the left and right sides of our brains. There are some anatomical details that differ between the opposite hemispheres of the brain. Language appears to be localised more to networks in the left brain, and differences in the brain can be seen according to whether we are right-handed or left-handed.

NeuroScience: CounterTransference In The Right Brain

NeuroScience: CounterTransference In The Right Brain | Science News | Scoop.it

This emphasis on the right brain systems that underlie attachment and develop-mental change has in turn forged deeper connections with clinical models of psycho-therapeutic change, all of which are consonant with psychoanalytic under-standings. Modern attachment theory can thus be incorporated into the core of social work theory, research, and practice.

The Left and the Right: Physiology, Brain Structure and Function, and Attentional Differences

The Left and the Right: Physiology, Brain Structure and Function, and Attentional Differences | Science News | Scoop.it

Here is a list of peer reviewed papers that I’ve found that only discuss liberal-conservative differences in brain structure and function, in physiology, or in the kinds of stimuli that attract attention. And of course this is only one small area of research on liberal-conservative differences.
