How proactivity and proactive coping are related to neurocognitive functions (memory, intelligence, attention) in patients with stroke, tumor, brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases? Because when these brain lesions neurocognitive function is impaired, it is possible to suppose that proactivity will be reduced?
If we accept, as I believe we must, recent data on neuroplasticity, I think the answer would be no, it won't but only with stimulation in an appropriate form.
Great question. I am not a psychologist. Most psychology problems have a biological component and a psychic component. I tend to agree from biological point of view with Ms. Campbell Taylor, the connecting fibers are not there.
But the psychic component can be extrapolated, for example depression in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS is only tiny bit direct and psychic, and mostly physical..there is pain and movement problems...
Hope this furthers the discussion..
Mr. Balasubramanian, I agree that mental functions have physical (more precisely, neuromorphological) component. Proactivity, which is considered by me as a personality trait including anticipation, responsibility, goal setting, and freedom of choice, of course determined neuromorphological factors. This is especially true of anticipation and prediction. But freedom of choice and responsibility are also associated with brain domains? If so, with what?
Thanks for escalating the discussion.
Biochemically, a pond of hormones sits in the base of the brain, for example Acetylcholine. Pro-activity is closest to game play from your definition resulting in PRODUCTIVITY. But it can add anxiety domain to all the other domains mentioned.
From real estate point of view, business and game play is on the dorso-lateral side of the frontal lobe, while emotion, obsession associated with bad emotions like depression is on the Basal and medial part of the frontal lobe...
