Talk:Cerebral hemispheric dominance

Latest comment: 14 years ago by Looie496 in topic Proposed merge

Is it correct?

edit

I thought that Cerebral Hemispheric Dominance is a myth as written in List of misconceptions about the brain.

Proposed merge

edit

Much of the information here is redundant to Lateralization of brain function. I propose we merge this article with that one, as this one is newer and less well developed. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Strong agree, this is not written in standard encyclopedic format. Let's merge / redirect. Some of the references might be worth keeping, as well. Nimur (talk) 15:05, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Strongly disagree. Dominance and lateralization are 2 completely different topics. just-emery (talk) 18:33, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I disagree with the merge. In fact, just a quick look at this article suggests that it is a collection of the worst pop-psych misinformation about the cerebral hemispheres around (the whole basic idea that there are "left-brained" and "right-brained" people being the biggest one), contributed almost exclusively by one editor in the course of two days. I don't think that article should be merged with this lateralization of function, and in fact, think that this article, although having some reliable sources should probably be deleted, or massively re-written to get rid of, or explain that, most of the information here is really a collection of pop-psych "neuromyths" [1] [2] [3][4].

I agree with EdHubbard. Remove and turn it into a redirect to the article that already has better science. Mirafra (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Also agree that this page should be removed. It definitely lacks the requisite scientific references. The Lateralization of brain function article is much more clearly written and better referenced; e.g. not littered with pseudo scientific references. K1v1n (talk) 22:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Given the near-unanimity here, I've converted to a redirect to Lateralization of brain function. Anybody who finds valuable material in the earlier article should feel free to merge it into that article. Looie496 (talk) 22:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
