In 1848, Phineas Gage was paving way for a new railroad l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_injury |
Broca's first patient lacked productive speech. He saw this as an opportunity to address language localization. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_injury |
It was not until Leborgne, informally known as "tan", died when Broca confirmed the frontal lobe lesion from an autopsy. The second patient had similar speech impairments, supporting his findings on language localization. The results of both cases became a vital verification of the relationship between speech and the l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_injury |
The affected areas are known today as Broca's area and Broca's Aphasia.A few years later, a German neuroscientist, Carl Wernicke, consulted on a stroke patient. The patient experienced neither speech nor hearing impairments, but had a few brain deficits. These deficits included: lacking the ability to comprehend what w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_injury |
After his death, Wernicke examined his autopsy that found a lesion located in the left temporal region. This area became known as Wernicke's area.

There are three types of logical reasoning. Informally, two kinds of logical reasoning can be distinguished in addition to formal deduction, which are induction and abduction. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking |
Deduction is the conclusion drawn from the structure of an argument's premises, by use of rules of inference formally those of propositional calculus. For example: X is human and all humans have a face, so X has a face. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking |
Induction is drawing a conclusion from a pattern that is guaranteed by the strictness of the structure to which it applies. For example: The sum of even integers is even. Let x , y , z ∈ Z {\displaystyle x,y,z\in \mathbb {Z} } then 2 x , 2 y , 2 z {\displaystyle 2x,2y,2z} are even by definition. If x + y = z {\displays... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking |
Abduction is drawing a conclusion using a heuristic that is likely, but not inevitable given some foreknowledge. For example: I observe sheep in a field, and they appear white from my viewing angle, so sheep are white. Contrast with the deductive statement: Some sheep are white on at least one side. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking |
