Topic > The left brain vs. The Right Brain - 783

Many people will always say that they think more with their left or right brain. In recent years, several researchers on brain functions have conducted extensive research. Most studies suggest that our brain works in two different ways (Brynie, 2009), however, some studies reveal that the left side and right side of the brain work in tandem and there is no one way to do it. they can function without each other. Humans are labeled as right-brain thinkers and left-brain thinkers. According to Wilkinson (2013), the left side and right side of the brain have functions that provide different responses. Brain function increases as we age. The more a person learns, the more brain function increases from the left to the right side of the brain. The main function of the brain is to make decisions and control one's emotions. The right side of the brain is good at imaginative and expressive acts. Its job is to process information, for example recognizing faces, reading emotions, expressing emotions, images, colors and creativity, to name a few (Cherry, 2012). Right-brain thinkers retain more information from visual experiences. On the other hand, the left hemisphere of the brain has a number of functions involving language, logic and analytical thinking. The left side of the brain processes information such as; language, logic, reasoning, numbers and critical thinking (Cherry 2012). These brain functions influence the left side of the brain and decision making. Both hemispheres of the brain improve the learning and thinking process as the brain incorporates its own functions. Both hemispheres of the brain participate in a balanced way during learning... middle of the paper... more creative and imaginative. Therefore, they work hand in hand through different functions in influencing learning abilities, but the dominance of one side will influence a person's learning. Therefore, during learning, both the right and left sides of the brain make decisions. Works Cited Wilkinson, A. l. (2013).
