      This website is very interesting because it explains that their is an architectural difference in the brain of a psychopath compared to a healthy brain. The areas that are different are the amygdala, which is associated with emotions, fear and agression, and the oribitofrontal cortex (OFC), which is responsible for the decision making. There is white matter that connects the amygdala and the OFC, which is called uncinate fasciculus (UF). They found a significant reduction in the integrity of the small particles that compose the UF of psychopaths compared to control groups of people with the same age and IQ. The degree of abnormality was significantly related to the degree of psychopathy.

As of 1995, ScienceDaily has won the loyalty of the public (i.e. students, researchers, health care professionals, government agencies, educators and the general public). If all those members of our society can trust this website that has won multiple awards, so can I. I am a part of the 3 million monthly viewers that trust this website that proves to be very credible.

      I think this article is useful because it speaks about how parents are affected by the attitude of their teenager. It also speaks about how the teenage brain thinks differently than others, how the frontal lobe can affect selfishness of the teenager. It also mentions our vulnerability to addiction and what makes us attracted to addiction. This was a very interesting article because this is some stuff we will probably explore in class.

      This is a good website because it gives a lot of information on how the teenage brain works. (The information given is the information we spoke about in class). It gives us a good understanding of how the brain of a teenager works and it also explains why we sometimes make the decisions we do. The part I have highlighted gives a little information on what we discussed in class.

      This website is very interesting because it is a detailed article on the origins of psychopathy. The author of this article, Katherine Ramsland, obviously believes that bad parents are the source for psychopathy because she often brings up real stories where psychopathic children had bad environments and she talks about theories such as the attatchement theory, which states the importance of the bond between parents and children. She hardly talks about the role of the brain in psychopathy. Ramsland often talks about the symptoms of psychopathic children and the interventions that need to be done in order for this behaviour to stop.

  • "As far as to the application to preventing PTSD, I think what the military ultimately wants to do is to be able to develop and incorporate into their training program, similar to what the SEALS are doing, where you can expose recruits to stressful situations," he said. "But you also want to arm them with the psychological tools — that they need to recognize, that they need to function at maximum capacity during the stressful situation. And when it ends, they need to put it behind them and move on."

      I believe it would produced a flow in experience because your mind would be concentrated on one task at hand rather than trying to do a million little things at once. It also allows you to focus more and to have a better understanding of your work when you are doing one thing at a time.

      Uni-Tasking will produce more flow because when you focus on one task only, there are no distractions from other activities. While uni-tasking, you are able to focus on a single task, which then allows you to get it done without any stress.

      Uni-tasking can help produce more "flow" because it means that your brain is concentrating on one single thing as opposed to being scattered everywhere. When you multitask your attention is cut short every time you switch over to your next activity, this will prevent you from completing your true ideas and will stop you from thinking them through.

      Unitasking as opposed to multitasking would help produce more flow experience because when you are unitasking, you are focusing on only one thing, and you wouldnt be distracted by anything else. This would keep you on task making it more of a flow like experience

      Like this article suggests, "quality over quantity". When you're so focused on getting several things done, it becomes harder to focus because your main objective is to get it done-it doesn't matter to what degree or quality it is, just do it. What uni tasking allows is the utter focus on "doing" something, singular, without the hassle of trying to get one thing done after another. Unitasking allows your entire mind, and heart too, to go into this one task- hence, zen.

      Unitasking will help to produce the flow experience becaue you only focus on one thing so your mind will not be thinking about other things while you are working. When you focus on one thing it can be done faster.

      It is because when unitasking your mind is focused on only a single task. So when you focus on a single task the brain does not need to think about other tasks as in the case of multitasking. We get more flow unitasking because we are not distracted by the other task in multitasking.

      Unitasking would be more productive and create flow because we can manage to concentrate on only that one thing. When we multitask, we cannot achieve flow because we are trying to concentrate on more than just one thing. Flow can only be centred around one thing at a time, not a multitude of things at once.

      By focusing on one activity at a time, you not only produce better quality work, but it gives the illusion that your work load is not so great. When you try and multi-task, it seems as if the work is overwhelming. Doing one thing at a time seems more organized and realistic.

      Unitasking allows the brain to focus on one thing, blocking out exterior noises and such. Concentrating on a single task would greatly reduce the number of things that successfully distract you, allowing you to achieve Flow and successfully completing a difficult task. Also, doing a single thing instead of switching between many the whole day will encourage actual important work.

      I believe that unitasking helps produce more flow because it allows you to focus more on just one task. By doing this, you put more effort in that one task and it allows you to perform better. By focusing on just one task, its easier to block off everything around you and you are distracted as easily as you would be while multitasking.

      When you focus on one thing, you can do that one thing better and not "half-assed" (pardon my french) As they say, Jack of all trades, master of none. If you are trying to do many things at once, each of those things is gonna be less well done than if you were just working towards one goal.

      In my opinion unitasking would produce more flow because instead of focusing on many different situations, one will be more concentrated on a specific activity. It allows one to clear away from distractions, be satisfied with their work and helps us with our understanding
