I would rather not spend $60-70 for something related to vcaa. From my experience in other subjects, you have to knock down and destroy most of what you 'learn' in vce anyway, why would I waste my time
Where is good free stuff for noob.
Mel... you can borrow my copy if you want to.
Speaking of borrowing, do you still have my philosophy book?
But to answer your question
You know how there is a left hand side and right hand side of brain. If a person has 1 side working way more than normal, and one side slacking off and working way less than normal, to the point the good side has to take over some of the jobs the other side is supposed to do and consequently does a half-arsed job of it cos its not designed for these tasks, why is this. Is it because one side didnt grow properly, or aren't they talking to each other very well, or would one side be physically bigger than the other etc. Also would that in any way affect motor coordination because of the whole 'LHS of brain controls RHS of body' and vice versa thing, or is that purely to do with that part of the brain in the back (cerebelum?).
Thanks Tongue
First of all, I should note that although there are two different sides to the brain, they work together to give us the ability to be conscious, to perceive things etc. So you normally get a case where one side of the brain 'slacks off'.
It's different though if one were to undergo brain damage (and I should so clinical, like GlaDOS). In some cases, as melaniej states you can get certain functions returning as a result of 'plasticity'. However it is not effective for this reason: certain areas of the brain has specialised local function (e.g The Primary Motor Cortex runs from the left to the right of the front side of your brain and is responsible for movement.) This sections have been doing this for aeons and obviously quite familiar with doing the tasks. If the section is damage, but plasticity occurs, then the new part of the brain assigned this task will not be able to be as efficient as the original.
