Left vs. Right Brain and Learning Every person has a governing hemisphere and once learning becomes a technical process, the idyllic part of the brain takes over the task of solving the problem in question. There are two hemispheres of the brain that directly influence learning and produce different ways of receiving, storing, and responding to information that ultimately influence the entire learning process. The cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres, left and right, and is home to the functions that make us human (Lucas, 2008). Humans are expected to process information based on their dominant hemisphere, although the learning process improves as a result of the two hemispheres functioning together. This means that we should strengthen our less dominated hemisphere of the brain to adequately absorb new meanings and strengthen new neural circuits to make connections. My article will demonstrate the characteristics and processing styles used by our left or right brain hemisphere. The left hemisphere of the brain classifies information in a linear way, that is, sequentially and in an organized way. Left-brain students tend to work well in a self-sufficient manner and learn at their own pace (Education Alliance, 2014). Furthermore, the left hemisphere is remarkably adept at sequential processing of all incoming material, including visual information (Webb, 1983). Processing and understanding symbols is relatively easy for the left-brain learner. This is why when working with workbooks or working with computer programs, the left-brain student excels (Education Alliance, 2014). Subsequently, this turned out to be very favorable because our primary education system is attentive to the learning abilities of the left hemisphere and the enrichment of their knowledge... middle of the paper... chicken learning. It would also help both teachers and mentors to articulate the ways in which each student can excel in each learning environment, regardless of left-brain or right-brain dominance.
