Introduction

Handedness can be considered as the use of the hand for better, faster and more precise performance or control in certain tasks. In the concept of handedness, right and left hands are considered, and generally the use of one hand more than the other is considered. However, there are four kinds of people in terms of handedness: right-handed people, left-handed people, mixed-handed people, and ambidextrous. Left-handedness is less frequently found than right-handedness. Researchers have found that left-handedness is fairly more common in men as compared to women (Papadatou-Pastou, Martin, Munafo, & Jones, 2008).

Theories of left-handedness

Diagnosis and treatment should take into account developmental stage, suicidality, severity of depression, and social and environmental factors.

Abstract

The paper discusses infantile amnesia – the phenomenon of the inability of adults to recollect any memory before the rough age of three years. The science behind the phenomenon is brain development. However brain development theory is being questioned today for its inability to explain a few aspects of childhood memory.

Other psychologists meanwhile believe that language development holds the key to the explanation behind infantile amnesia. The paper also discusses the concept of identity and focuses on some empirical results that have been developed to prove the ...

Abstract

This paper explores development of adolescents and young adults by involving adjustments and changes, which can vary in people of the same age. While studying their developments, I have considered emotional, social, cognitive, sensory and physical processes and even their combination. For instance, when individuals enter the puberty period, they may feel some implications for personal development and personality in whole. Although during adulthood and adolescence there are a lot of developmental aspects, wide personal variations occur because of core issues, achievements and circumstances. For example, not all people can attain stages of psychological development in early adulthood. There ...

Unemployment becomes a factor that results to recruitment of individuals into gangs. According to the World Bank (79), studies indicate that criminal violence is strongly linked to persons with low income. Most people are ...

Genetic evolution refers to change(s) in inheritable traits occurring across succeeding generation of organisms. The change (evolution) is responsible for the diversity at all levels including the molecular level e.g. genetic variations, individual organisms in the same species (intra-species variations) and among species (interspecies variations). It is believed that all organisms emanated from common ancestry about 3.7 billion years ago and then evolved over time to the present biodiversity. Therefore all organisms have some shared traits at the morphological and molecular level with the species sharing a more recent ancestry having more similar traits. The process of evolution involves ...

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”.

As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...
