Reading 1 for question 8-9
In 1937, Charley Bradley reprted a positive effect of
stimulant medication in children with various behavior disorders. Bradley was
medical director of the Emma Pendleton Bradley Home, today called Bradley
Hospital, in East Providence, Rhode Island, which was found by his great-uncle
George Bradley to treat neurogically impaired children. Apart from children
with definite neurogical disorders or residual effects of encephalitis, there
where children hospitalized with “emotional problems” and major difficulties in
learning and behavior. Some of these children would possibly be diagnosed with
ADHD today.
Bradley’s discovery of the improvement by stimulants of
behavior of children bassed on a chance finding during his neurological
examinations. Bradley performed pneumoencephalograms in order to examine
structural brain abnormalites. This usually caused severe headaches, which were
supposed to be the result of a significant loss of spinal fuid . Bradley
attempted to treat the headaches by stimulating the choroid plexus with
Benzedrine wich was “ the most potent stimulant available at the time”.
However, Benzedrine had a negligible effect on the headaches, but caused a
striking improvement in behavior and school performance in some of the
children.
Bradley subsequently started a systematic trial in 30
children of his hospital and observed remarkable alterations in behavior.
“The most spectacular change in behavior brought about by the use of Benzedrine
was the remarkably improve school performance of approximately half the
children”. The children “were more interested in their work and performed it
more quickly and accurately”. In addition, some decrease in motor activity was
usually noted in the children who also “became emotionally subdued without,
however, losing interest in their surroundings”.
Bradley was surprised at this effect, “it appears paradoxical
that a drug known to be a stimulant should produce subdued behavior in half of
the chidren. It should be borne in mind, however, that portions of the higher
levels of the central nervous system have inhibition as their function, and
that stimulation of these portions might indeed produce the clinical picture of
reduced activity throught increased
voluntary control”. He later identified children who were most likely to
benefit from Benzedrine treatmen as “characterized by short attention span,
dyscalculia, mood liability, hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and poor memory”.
These feature are nowdays associated with ADHP. Bradley’s observations of
stimulant effect in hyperactive children were revolutionary and are considered
important discoveries in psychiatric treatment.
Reading 2 for question 10
Millennials
are often maligned for their constat technology use and obsession with the
social approval signaled by like, shares, and retweets. But organizations need
to start recognizing the benefits of such behavior and harnessing it. This
generational cohort will, by some estimates, account nearly 75 % of the
workforce by 2025. And, according to a recent Delloite survey of 7,800 people
from 29 countries, only 28% of currently employed Millennials feel their
companies are fully using their skills. How can smart leaders better leverage
their talents of these future leader?
First, social sharing,
Neuroscientists have shown that any kind of positive personal interaction light
up a part of the brain called the temporoparietal junction, which stimulates
the production of oxytocin, “the feel-good hormone” . Millennials, who have grown up interacting
online, are able to get that same high, more often, through technology, by
posting, messaging, forwarding and favouriting multiple times a day. They crave
that connection and are thefore natural team players.
Second, constant, complex data flow.
Research tell us that multitasking is imposible, people can only do two things
at once if one of those things is routine. Also, those who regularly are
multiple forms of media are more phone to distraction that those who do
not. But, according to Nielson Neurofocus,
EEG readings suggest that younger brains have higher multi-sensory processing
capacity that older ones and are most stimulated – that it is more engaged with
and more likely to pay attention to and remember – dynamic messages.
Millennials probably aren’t more effective multitaskers, in the strict sense of
the world, but, in their current stage of brain development, they seem better
able to tolerate and integrate multiple streams of information.
Angela
Ahrendts, the former of CEO Burberry, recognized that she could turn these two
hallmarks of Millennials behavior into an asset for the fashion brand. In 2006,
she hired a large number of “digital natives” , as she called them, to do what
they do west, socialize through technology. As she explains, they created an
espansive digital platform, which transformed the company’s image and
dramatically accelerated this growth. One highlight was “Tweet Walk”, which
turned Burberry’s traditional runway show into a live web broadcast.
While
Baby Boomers might see phones, tablets, and other devices as distractions,
Millennials use them to collaborate and innovate in real time. While Gen-Xers
may view aggressive social sharing as an unhealthy mix of the personal and
professional, Millennials see it as a away to gather input and learn from
others. Millennials understands, embrace and are envolving with our
exponentially expanding digital word. Instead of judging their behavior, we
need to better leverage it.
