Brain Dominance

The human brain is a wondrous invention that has many scientists and researchers very busy to this very day. There are numerous qualities about the brain humans know about, yet there are still a great number of mysteries to the brain and how it functions left to be discovered and shared. Some facts scientists do know about the brain is that it is divided into to primary sections, called hemispheres. Each person has a left and right hemisphere of the brain. Each hemisphere is in charge of specific abilities, tasks, and functions. This paper will review what each hemisphere is responsible for and describe ways that each hemisphere is predisposed to learn.

The left side sees and interprets the world in symbols and languages. However the right side interprets it in terms of space and shape.

The right side of the brain is responsible for putting information together eg. information recived from eyes-if you see a flower information goes from eyes to the right side of your brain , firing neurons, putting information together so you are able to say "I can see a flower".The left side of the brain analyses information which is collected by the right side of the brain. It

As shown in the chart, the split brain has a low correlation than the intact brain, which has a higher correlation. This proves that a person with a split brain cannot process information to the left and right. Face recognition is in the right side of the brain while vocabulary and reasoning in the left side of the brain. When comparing face and reasoning it only gave a low correlation same with face and vocabulary. Vocabulary and reasoning is in the left hemisphere, therefore, being a bit more stronger than the rest of the results. In the intact brain reasoning, vocabulary, and face are being processed to the left and right showing that they are laterized.

In class on 9/18, we discussed the structures of the brain and how each part works. The brain has so many parts that it is almost impossible to remember all the parts and their functions. The brain is very complex, but the most interesting thing that was talked about was the two different hemispheres. We discussed how the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vise versa I found it very interesting that the left side of the brain controls more of our logic and grammar, and the right side of the brain controls more emotional expressions. When Dr. Yarnell discussed her story of her friend and her friend’s husband getting in a fight I think the way she told her to help resolve it was very interesting. Her response was to move into her left side

Will right-brainers rule the future? A whole new mind: why right-brainers will rule the future, a book by Daniel H. Pink assesses this critical question. Pink’s book is divided into two parts. Part one lays out the broad animating idea, provides an overview of key differences between our left and right hemispheres, presents the case for why Abundance, Asia, and Automation pushes the world into the “Conceptual Age”. It illustrates why people who master high concept and high touch set the tempo for modern life. Part two of the book covers the six essential right brain abilities Pink described as needed to make it in the Conceptual Age. Design. Story. Symphony. Empathy. Play. Meaning. Pink devotes one chapter to each of these six senses,

The results of this study show us the brain is not in fact symmetrical and the two hemispheres in the brain work in different ways. The left hemisphere is known to play the dominant role, which is in control of all complex behavioural and cognitive processes as for the right hemisphere it only plays a minor role. This report will further analyse how different the two hemisphers is the dominant side of the brain.

For many decades people have been considered to be either right or left side dominant in regards to brain function which came with defined roles such as “creative” or “analytical”. This thinking tends to be over-simplified as most people use their entire brains daily (Jensen, 2010). On the other hand people do use different parts of their brain for different tasks according to how they perceive those tasks.

Left-right brain dominance is about the fact that the distinct hemispheres influence thinking. The left hemisphere is associated with logical, analytical thinking and a linear approach to problem solving. The right hemisphere is associated with creative, intuitive and value-based thought process. It is important to note that everyone uses its both hemispheres, but to varying degrees. Four quadrants of the brain, related to different thinking style, have been identified:

While our left hemisphere gives us a narrow focused attention on details, our right hemisphere gives us the ability to stay alert, broad, and vigilant for whatever might come in our way, and also to make a connection with the world. Albert Einstein had said, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant but has forgotten the gift.” In that case, the intuitive mind is the right hemisphere which functions to make us aware of the differences around us. The right hemisphere sees the implicit meaning and it cares about the living. Meanwhile the rational mind, the left hemisphere controls our logics; it is responsible for words, analysis, numbers, and sequence.

In the right visual field, the word goes to the left hemisphere and is directly identified there. When a word is shown in the left visual field, it goes to the right hemisphere. From there, the word passes through the corpus callosum to be identified in the left hemisphere. Researchers have found a slight advantage in the left hemisphere in word recognition. The transferring of information from the right side of the brain to the corpus callosum and then to the left side of the brain can mix the information seen. It can result in poor identification/clarity of words shown in left hemisphere of the

|The left and right hemispheres of our brain process information in different ways. We tend to process information using our dominant side. However, the learning and

“We as humans are designed to be well-rounded; we have two halves of the brain. We are not ignoring that right side of the brain, but we are certainly underserving that side of the brain. Says Lance eagled an art teacher at Churchill whose budget was recently cut. According to psychology, you have two parts of your brain. Some people have stronger sides than other for instance, if you are more left brained you have more analytical thinking, you think logically , are good at language in addition to math and science . If you have a stronger right, you are very imaginative; you are good at understanding something immediately, plus having creativity, in addition to Art and

People who are left brain tend to approach each problem with an analytical point of view. Right

People who are left brain dominate are more sequential where on the other hand, people who are right brain dominate are more visual learners. For instance, instead of workbook learning they perfer projects and discussions (Education Alliance, 2014). The main focus of the right brain is visual, which means they process information in an expressive way and they like to show creativity in their work (Cherry, 2014). People who are dominate in their right brain prefer to learn by visually grasping the whole picture first, and then eyeing at the specifics later on. Where as left brained people would pay more attention to detail first. Students with a right brain dominance should integrate a number of hands on activities, which will help with learning the assignment (Education Alliance, 2014). They also should write words down or use drawings to help them visually recollect facts to help them retain information. These students favor perceiveing how a
