Human beings were never meant to read. 4 million years ago, our ancestors' brains evolved to scan the savannah for predators; 7金玫玫微博 ,000 years ago长春砍手门 , our cities shielded us from predators so we rewired the same neural networks to scan symbols for meaning. The storm of a billion synaptic explosions raging on inside your head as you read this paragraph is an unnatural, miraculous capacity of the brain to build an entirely new structure - the wordbox - out of the object cortex. We take it for granted, but reading is a psychological anomaly. For the past two years, the vestigial failures of the ancient mind have inspired my research into one of China's silent but destructive problems: undiagnosed developmental dyslexia.
Having long been interested in the effect of language on cognition due to my experience learning both English and Chinese as a first language邹平人才网 , I led 9 classmates to investigate how dyslexia affects Chinese and its prevalence in Beijing. Our research confirmed our estimate that one in twenty children in China has dyslexia铁将军阿贵 , but even more importantly, we found that virtually no support system exists to level this disadvantage. Having grown up in the US新明史 , I took for granted the IEPs and extra time on standardized tests that schools offered my dyslexic friends. In the US, diagnoses come early because teachers and parents understand that for some, 'trying harder' only goes so far in correcting genetics. Not in China. The root cause of the problem is a misconception that dyslexia does not exist for logographic characters, which China's meritocratic culture propagates by type-casting those whose study habits do not adhere to the conventional as unintelligent and unmotivated.
As a writer,迢迢牵牛星赏析 filmmaker,靳海音 and debater, I understand the power of rhetoric in correcting structural injustice. The film I am producing痛婚 , Broken Cello, follows the story of a 14-year-old boy whose dyslexia results in his expulsion from junior high and shatters his dreams of becoming a cellist. It is the first of its kind to explore the themes and consequences of Chinese dyslexia. To ensure its accuracy, I consulted with my Psychology professor Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa whose Harvard undergraduate course 'The Neuroscience of Learning' I am taking. To inject life into its art, I drew inspiration from the children I have met through an internship at Eliott's Corner, one of the few pediatric therapy centers in Beijing.
The rest of Psychology is just as fascinating. After reading Ramachandran (1998)'s experiments with anosognosia and Capgras syndrome, 'consciousness' to me seems more like an afterthought explanation of events rather than direct control over our actions. In fact异界风流神帝 , Frith (2012) argues that our sense of agency evolved to enhance social interaction, but our ineptitude at recognizing the causes of our own behavior suggests that it is little more than an illusion. Ramachandran (1998) also relies heavily on the existence of an internal probability calculator to explain phenomena such as projection of tactile sensations onto a tabletop and perceptual completion of missing visual information, but fails to indicate this calculator's location or whether its function is logical or mathematical. Is the left angular gyrus responsible for this phenomenon? I plan to read further into subjects like this as a Psychology student in university.
Outside of psychology中医扬名, 5 years of competitive debate have also made me a student of argument and rhetoric. Last semester, I was Top Speaker at 2 consecutive tournaments (NSDA and NHSDLC). The campus debate club I founded two years ago has recruited over 350 members to date and is the largest non-profit debate organization in my city. Every week雨刮器结点 , I instruct students in the power of persuasion and lead discussions on issues like environmental pollution, and am deeply gratified to incite in my students a passion for activism and watch them grow into loud, powerful speakers.
