Left Brain - Right Brain |

Subconscious Language Learning As surely as you see the body, you can imagine the brain is also divided laterally into left and right. These two hemispheres of the brain process information differently. The left side analyzes every detail in a linear process, collecting the facts and arranging them from part to whole. The other, acting on intuition and conseptualizing by seeing and feeling, thinks from whole to part. A person with a strong left side would prefer to learn and experience things by touching, seeing, and feeling their way through, whereas a right thinking person would prefer to study the situation and use facts to apply logic in their assessment. Most everyone can relate to both, since most of us use both; with the exception of those who have undergone a hemispherectomy (the removal of one or the other hemispheres). Much of the communication between these two hemispheres occurs through the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is located in the longitudinal fisher that connects the right and left brain. It is suggested that the size of the corpus callosum may directly relate to the intellectual activity of the brain. A Time Magazine article from the early 1990's stated that the corpus callosum in women is often wider then those of men, which would allow for greater communication between hemispheres. This very well may be the basis for women's intuition. It has also been reported that the corpus callosum is significantly larger in musicians than in non-musicians, and is found to be slightly larger in left-handed individuals than right-handed.. These reports pose many questions. For example, when your mom says "I know you're up to something", does she really know? You had better play it safe just in case! Remember, everyone uses both hemispheres of the brain. However, it is typical for one hemisphere to be dominant. The cerebral hemisphere as a whole is surrounded by “gray matter”. This gray matter is made up of millions of neurons which are the main processing vehicles of the brain. Firing their synapses, each neuron receives input and performs a simple processing task, then sends it down the line. The number of functioning neurons determines our brain power; effectively our ability to receive input. The brain can be divided into four lobes that are present in both hemispheres of the brain.
Understanding the specific functions of the left and right brain may assist you in developing a learning strategy so that you may more easily absorb whatever it is you're studying.
