A CRITICAL REVIEW OF JOURNAL ARTICLES

A critical review of journal articles that have been published to examine a vertical division in the human fovea has consequences for word recognition.

Abstract

The etiology of word recognition problems in people who appear to be normal in every other respect has been of interest to educators and other researchers since these difficulties were first documented. One possibility that has been explored is that word recognition people are different in some aspect of the distribution of processing activities among the hemispheres for the printed word. After half a century of investigation and thought along these lines, a delineation of the neuropsychological processes underlying reading disabilities has yet to be achieved. In this research paper we are goinig to examine a vertical division in the human fovea has consequences for word recognition.

A critical review of journal articles that have been published to examine a vertical division in the human fovea has consequences for word recognition.

Introduction

For over a century, the nature, neural mechanisms, and resulting behavior of memory have been systematically investigated. At its broadest level, human memory involves encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. Understanding its underlying mechanisms will lead to a better understanding of behavior in a variety of everyday tasks, such as educational testing, trying to remember a name that goes with familiar face, and the decline of certain types of memory that result from normal aging, to name a few. An important aspect to all of these functions is developing an understanding of how memories are formed and how errors can occur. Theorists generally view memory not as a single process or system, but rather as a number of processes that differ in their behavioral characteristics. Of the major systems that have been proposed, two long-term memory systems are often contrasted: semantic memory, viewed as the large store of general knowledge about the world, and episodic memory, the memory for specific events that includes information about time, place, and other contextual details(Annett 1970). The distinction between semantic and episodic memory has brought about further decomposition of the processes underlying the behavior observed during various memory tasks. As part of these investigations, semantic and episodic memory are often dealt with separately, even though they may share many of the cognitive sub-processes involved with acquisition and retrieval.

Parts & Functions of Brain

In a broad sense, the brain is the set of central nervous system elements contained in the skull. To increase the medical understanding about the brain power is that the underlying characteristics of the human being in this body are higher mental functions, speech and emotions. However, we can consider that the brain has three main functional units: (Boudelaa 2004)

Regulatory unit of muscle tone and wakefulness

This includes the ascending reticular system and the limbic system; the first is responsible for regulating the waking state through the care and allows the perception, the second part is responsible in the following activities:

* Regulation of emotional behavior.

* Regulation of sexual ...
