After reading Sam, Paige, Tori, and Allison’s article on the Left and right side of the brain, I have come to the conclusion that I am left sided.
Throughout all of the reading, everything they said about left sided I can relate to myself.
First, the left side of the brain is generally better at math. I remember talking about this in my psychology class last year. People with stronger left sided brains usually take things step by step, which is very helpful in math. When I took calculus last year in high school, it was very important to take things step by step to solve the problem. If you did not know the concrete formula, it was almost impossible to get the answer right.
Also, the article said that right-sided people might not be able to find the right words when giving directions or something. For me, I have always been able to give directions based on streets and routes rather than places. In some cases it might be easier to just say take a left at the McDonalds or something, but for the most part I like to give directions, and receive directions with the road names.
Lastly, I remember learning in psychology that the opposite side of your brain controls the dominant side of your body. For instance, if you are right handed with everything you do, then you are most likely dominated by the left side of your brain. For my whole life, I have been right handed. Everything that I do in sports I have used by right hand, it just came natural to me. I remember watching home videos of the first time I threw or picked up a baseball bat, and I automatically used my right hand, without anyone telling me.
These are the reasons why I think that I am mainly dominated by the left side of my brain.
