I recently received an e-mail, probably from some list, about a
recent (I believe) book critical of the idea that daycare does no
harm to kids. Apparently talked about problems with research or
inferences that appear to support the idea that putting kids in
daycare does not harm. I think Scar

Of course, this is due to the fact that they were looking for questions "facing"

I skimmed most of the ones you have below and couple others and have to say,
sadly that they are good and bad for the same reason: they all generally
conclude that we just don't know enough yet...good because that's the truth

It would be hard to think of MacLean's model as "pop-psych", but that
doesn't prevent some quacks from intentionally or unintentionally
misusing it. The worst is that it is an oversimplification (most good
heuristics are) in bringing together evolution, development, and
function.
The "ritual" asp
Very nicely put. I concur fully.

The triune brain seems to be popular in anthropology and among
evolutionary psychologists. It is a serious oversimplificaiton of what
happened during the evolution of the brain. The vertebrate brain
follows a single bauplan (blueprint). Structures expand, functions are
sometimes redistributed (e.
How valid is the concept of the "triune brain"? Is it more than just
'pop psych'?
I have had several students raise the question in class recently. Some
of the students are anthropology majors and have heard reference to
triune brain as a neural substrate for ritual behaviors, including
chant.

This is a complicated situation.
We can argue the logic of a given terminology, or theoretical issues
involving underlying mechanisms, but the reality is that the
constraints of our existing language are real.
We can only successfully introduce new terminology if the
Liepman also reports another way that apraxia may relate to a language-related
problem. Apraxia for movements of the left hand and arm may result from
"disconnection" of the right motor cortex from the left hemisphere language
processing system (e.g. due to a lesion affecting the corpus callosum).I

There can be an apraxia related to language production. This is seen in
difficulty pronouncing words. More commonly apraxia is related to motor
control. There are two classifications of apraxia, ideomotor and ideational.
