Sommario/riassunto |
|
This Springer essential provides an overview of current research on the topic of left-handedness and brain asymmetries. In addition to basics of assessing left-handedness and brain asymmetries, it also explores their evolution, development, and their study in the animal kingdom. Other focal points include research on the relationship between left-handedness and cognitive functions, as well as the topic of handedness |

and sports. The essential is rounded off with a discussion on the topic of relearning handedness and a discourse on altered asymmetries in various patient groups. The Content An Introduction to Current Psychological and Neuroscientific Research Evolution and Development Left-Handedness and Brain Asymmetries in the Animal Kingdom Left-Handedness and Cognitive Functions as well as Performance in Sports Discussion on Relearning Left-Handedness and Altered Brain Asymmetries in Various Patient Groups Target Audience Researchers and Students in Neuroscience and Psychology Occupational therapists, Neurologists, and Sports Scientists, as well as enthusiasts interested in the topic of left-handedness The Author Professor Dr. Sebastian Ocklenburg is a Professor of Research Methods in Psychology at MSH Medical School Hamburg, where he researches the origins and neurophysiology of brain asymmetries. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. |
