His miraculous survival, and the effects of the injury upon his character, made Gage an important case study for scientists concerned with the brain and human behaviour. ‘Atthe time of the accident, 25-year-old Gage was working as @ foreman on the construction ofa railroad in Vermont, USA. In those days, dynamite was often used to blast away rock and clear ‘a path forthe railway. One day, Gage was using along iron rod to ‘compact explosives into a hole in the rock. Upon hitting the rock, the iron tod produced a spark that ignited the explosives. The subsequent blast propelled the rod through Gage’ left cheek, tore ‘through his brain and exited through the top of hs skull, landing some ten metres away. Fearing the worst, his family made funeral arrangements. Against all odds, however, after initially slipping into a semicomatose state, Gage recovered, physically at east. Mentally though his injury appeared to have produced a dramatic change in his ‘petsonality. From being well-liked and successful, he became rude, agressive and socially inappropriate. According to his friends and acquaintances, he was no longer himself. Although he lost his Position as a foreman, he managed to hold down other jobs, but fied tebe eerste! lowing a eles of epee setae In modern psychology hs condition is known as post-traumatic social disinhibition acquired as a result of the damage to the frontal lobe. We now know that this part ofthe brain is our emotional Control centre and home to our personality. Its involved in a whole range of high-level cognitive functions, such as decision-making, planning, inhibiting inappropriate behaviour, social interaction, Understanding other people and self-awareness, However, in the nineteenth century, scientists were struggling to understand these connections. Gage’ injures provided the first solid evidence for a link between brain trauma and personality change, Today, research stil being conducted into his condition and the majority of introductory psychology textbooks mention Gage. His skull and the iron rod are on display at the Warten Anatomical Museum at Harvard Univesity and are the most sought-out items there. B_ Quickly read Text 1. What caused the drastic change in the man’s behaviour? Which factor in A best describes the cause? Why? Quickly read Text 2. How did the AIFS study differ from other studies? Text 2 What is positive development: A ground-breaking 30-year study into childhood temperament and its impact on adult behaviours, conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS), tracked the progress and well-being of more than 1,000 children from infancy to their late twenties. Many studies collect data about what goes wrong in young people's lives, and this information is invaluable, but itis only part of an intricate mosaic. The AIFS researchers are keenly interested in what {s going right in the lives of young adults. Much of their research is devoted to looking at young people's, successes and skills, and evidence that they are thriving. This is called positive development. Positive development is not simply the absence of problems, but involves achieving optimal development and wellbeing, In measuring positive development in young people, researchers look for attributes and behaviours that enable them to take an active role in the community; be trusting and tolerant of people in society, especially those from different backgrounds; have confidence that important organisations in society would generally behave ethically and fairly, be responsible and empathetic in their relationships with others, and feel satisfied with their life and where it is heading, ‘Young people high in these qualities are considered to be developing positively and functioning well, Equally important to researchers is which determinants earlier in life help people to develop these strengths and thrive as young adults. To answer this, they looked back to the data the young people and their families had provided when they were children and adolescents. They found that young people who thrived later on in life tended in childhood and adolescence to have experienced strong family relationships, strong relationships with their peers, better adjustment to life at school, better control over their emotions, and an interest in community involvement. The study concluded that all of these experiences are assets in helping young people to flourish as they become edults. The findings are an invaluable resource for developing interventions and programmes that reduce risks and also strengthen protective factors to al development. D Read the Exam Close-up.
