womain claim men kept them in kitchen if so why the best chefs are men..BARZAKH

:sl:Mrs Be Aql Khan Usta : If brain is feminine then what gender is heart
If mind is the feminine womb where all thoughts enter
Then what gender is the place they depart
What gender is tender moments what gender is hard times
What gender is gentle pleasure what gender is criminal crimes
Tell me about your gender theory oh sexiest BARZAKH
Tell me what gender is hearing ears what gender is our watching ANKH
Tell me what is the gender of heartless person
Tell me how to make heart softer with your sexiest sermon:w:

Eh? Not really sure what you mean. There is a difference between male and female brain structures as well as anatomy.

For example, the corpous collossum is thicker in the female brain than it is in the male allowing for greater communication between the left and right hemispheres. Women also use both sides of their brain when engaging i language and social interaction.

There is of course a trade-off, so men devote more in terms of the part of the brain responsible for direction, logic, math etc.

If you look at the top 10% for mathmatics, the overwhemling majority are male. This is especially true for savants and folks with Asperger's being almost entirely male with superior mathmatic skills but heavily retarded language and social interaction.

Us humans have a bicarmal brain. each hemisphere is designed to develope for being the primary controlling mechanism for different parts of the body. a person is capable of normal thought even without the corpus collosum. some people are born without it, some have had it severed through surgery or accident. severing of it is still used as a permanent cure for uncontrollable siezures.

The purpose of it is to coordinate physical abilities. Without it things like walking, eye hand coordination etc, are harder to learn and develop.

An early study I did research in, verified the rapid ability for the 2 hemispheres to develope non-verbal communication path ways through visual cues. In other words while the corpus collosum makes life easier, it is not essential for thought or physical development.

Now to get back on topic. Dr, Watson made one major error. He is not a Physiological Psychologist, he is not trained in the ability to define intelligence from a psychological view point. He poked his nose into an area in which he has no training or expertise and made a very non-scientific statement with no basis.

:sl:thank you woodrow
if becameral means two chambers and if one chember is occupied by ego and other by emotion then where does intligence reside:w:

:w:
first of all I want to thank you for not pointing out my atrocious spelling of bicameral. I have no Idea why I called it bicarmel. I must have my mind on candy.

Many physiological psychologists, including myself have come to the conclusion that the concepts of thought and the precursors of emotions are of a holographic nature, in that any single portion of the brain carries the entire abstract thoughts of the brain.

We do know that the frontal cortex becomes active during periods of intense thought. but, we can get into very deep philosophical discussions over if the activity causes the thoughts or if the activity is an artifact of the thought. We also know that the entire limbic system is active during emotional reactions. But we can not verify that there is any specific location for ego, emotion or thoughts. My only conclusion is there is a separate non-physical soul that is part of our being and is what we call and understand as being our self.

The bicameral nature of the brain is more in terms of a division of functions. although some specific functions can be traced to definite areas, Such as speech is related to Wernecke's area and movement is related to the motor cortex. The mapping is not that absolute as in some individuals, some functions may be associated with unexpected areas.

Although if a single hemisphere is destroyed at an early age, the remaining hemisphere can take on the full functions of both hemispheres.
 
Quoting from the article:

Prof Watson attracted a deluge of criticism for his comments in a Sunday Times interview, reportedly saying he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really".

I am not knowledgeable about the genetic control of intelligence, but as a cotton breeder I am knowledgeable about the relative importance of environment on yield of cotton varieties. The statistical effect of environment on yield (lbs of lint/acre) in multi-environment trials is from 5 to 10 times the magnitude of genetic effects. I struggle to achieve a 100# genetic advantage over our competitors, but there is often a 1,000# difference in the mean yield of different locations. This is not to mention the effect of the differential interaction of varieties with environments. Some varieties perform better than others in certain environments (early maturity in Missouri), but relatively worse in other (early maturity in Georgia). The interaction effect is often nearly as large as the genotypic effect.

I say all this as background info that the effect of environment on IQ must be many times more important than the genetic effect. If Einstein had never gone to school and was in fact raised by Aborigines in Australia, would he have developed the Theory of Relativity? I don't think so. What would have been the effect of his studying law at Harvard instead of physics at Eidgenössisches Polytechnikum? I will be the first to admit that there is a genetic component to intelligence, but has the average person of African descent been given the proper environment to fully develop his specific intellectual abilities? Again, I don't think so.

He was quoted as saying he hoped everyone was equal, but that "people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true".

Living and working in Mississippi, I encounter many workers of African descent. I can personally atest to the fact that the above statement made by Dr. Watson is not true. I work with many African-Americans who have a strong inate intelligence.

hmmm, I don't think we can equate a persons achievements with their intelligence...

Very true. Intelligence is just one factor involved for achievement and high intellegence is not always the criteria for achievement.
 
I, too, have seen intelligent people starving with not a penny to their name, yet at the same time dumbest people in high positions (probably due to daddy or sheer dumb luck)
 
This has been discussed long enough. It looks like everything of value has been said.
