Hi Hedwig! The title of your thread intrigued me, so I tried the link. I got to the page but wasn't able to see the article. I clicked the reply to article button, and found that from there I was able to click and see the contents! Maybe this is useful for someone else. |

Ya, sometimes scientists get a little unnecessarily pretentious in their writing |

I read the abstract (about as far into such papers as I go: I'm not a fan of intentionally dense academic writing, either), and honestly wasn't surprised. |

I got a bit further. I read far enough to learn that the study had just 69 subjects, reduced to 63 who participated all the way. My opinion on a lot of "studies" is that they are probably just research theses for grad students. They don't really mean anything and the conclusions are dubious. Just training wheels to let them demonstrate their skills and get their degree from the education-industrial complex factory. |

I am sure about illusion. I am not so sure about reality.
The reason for choosing only right-handed people is actually a good one that is used universally in science. It's easiest explained through an example. |

Thanks EddieDean, for the explanation (about the two variables), I was wondering about that, but now it makes sense! |

The question is: is it a practicing of LD that leads to higher volume ov frontal cortex, or the higher volume of frontal cortex makes practicing easier and more successfull and just make people want to keep on practicing? |
