Why do we think and how? I mean in psychology.
Is there any difference in the capacity of thinking if someone was born in UK or in China??? Maybe when someone was born in a very restrict place, the way that this person will be narrow minded (It is a assumption).
So my point is that I want a explanation in psychology and in sociology. It doesn't matter if you don't know very much about this topic, just give your opinion, please.
We do know that brain areas are involved in thinking. For example, parts of the visual cortex at the back of your brain use more energy when you imagine seeing the ice cream, and parts of the sensory cortex when you think about its feel and taste. When you are doing mental arithmetic a different set of brain regions is involved, including areas in the parietal lobe, prefrontal cortex and cingulate, deep inside the brain. Although maths is popularly supposed to be a left-brain skill, both hemispheres are involved, with the left hemisphere more important when thinking about numbers as words.
