I would appreciate your help in answering the following queries for
my classes.
1. I recall that there was a recent thread on someone who could
write the same material backwards with his left hand and forward with
his right, a thread which I deleted. Yesterday a secretary at our
school about whom I had learned came to class and demonstrated that
she could do that, a "talent" she learned she had when she was a
teen. A student got up and did the same thing and said her mother
had the same ability. I failed miserably when I tried. The
secretary is right-handed but puts make-up on with her left hand; the
student is left-handed. The secretary said that a graphologist (with
a doctorate) had told her that she had an unusually thick corpus
callosum. Do any of you have any information on this phenomenon?
2. In another psych class we are discussing Milgram. In response to
a question about the effect of class on obedience (e.g. if a person
is a CEO and used to giving orders, would he take orders?) I have
looked through my resources and found no mention of class. What were
the characteristics of the resisters?
Thanks in advance.
