Right Brain and Left Brain

The three part brain is also divided into a right and left hemisphere. Each hemisphere is responisible for differnt modes of thinking, each specialising in certain skills.

Although there is some crossover and interaction between the two sides, the thinking processes of the left brain are

  • logical
  • linear
  • orderly
  • rationaly
  • sequential
  • organised
  • systematic
  • reality based
  • dealing with abstract ideas
  • verbal expression
  • reading
  • writing
  • auditory association
  • identifying facts and figures
  • phonetics and symbolism and
  • micro approach

    The right brain thinking modes are
  • creative
  • imaginative
  • random
  • intuitive
  • non-verbal ways of knowing
  • unorganised
  • spatial awareness
  • shape and pattern recogintion
  • art
  • music
  • colour sensitivity
  • feeling the presence of objects and people
  • visualisation and
  • macro approach
    To lead an effective life both hemisphers of the brain should be given equal importance. Those who make use of both hemispheres of the brain tend to produce better results in life. They learn very fast. Most geniuses use both left and right brains . Unfortunaely, the modern sytem of education emphasisesleft brain activities and neglects right brain activities.
