For next Monday's extension session

So as a follow on from Monday - here is what I would like you to think about -

What was the driving force in the evolution of our big brain? There are a variety of theories (opposable thumbs, language, group size etc). Have a little look and come with some evidence to support your argument.

To get you thinking here is a sketch on the origins of language :)

Psychology Extension Group

Dear all,

As of next week I will be running an extension session Monday lunch times H9 at 1.15. The session will be on off-syllabus Psychology and for the first few weeks I will be looking at the idea of language. I hope this will bring us to a number of questions

• do animals have language?
• Are we born as a blank slate?
• Why are people anxious about determinism?
• How does the brain process language?
• Does language determine thought?

Please note these sessions will not be related to the AQA syllabus and are instead an opportunity for pure extension :). Please bring a pen.

If you have any questions, let me know.
