Is the dominant hand a good indicator of the dominant hemisphere of the brain Why or Why not?
Yes, many of the functions you do with the dominant hand determines which side of the brain is more used. Be careful though, the right hand is controlled by the left side of the brain, and vice versa with the left hand.
Which brain hemisphere is more dominant?
left
What is Lateralization of functioning?
referring to the specialization in certain functions by each side of the brain,with one side dominant for each activity. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa
Is it more common to be right brained dominant or left brain dominant?
I'm not sure but I would say "Left brained". They say that the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain controls the left side. Most people are right handed and their dominant eye is their right one. Therefore I would guess it's the left.
Is it normal for a college student to be good at math but a sucker at writing?
Yes. Most people are either math and science oriented or language oriented. Few are naturally good at both. Most people are either left brain dominant or right brain dominant. If you are left brain dominant you are better at math and science, right brain dominant is better with languages.
What two functions are dominant on the right side of the brain?
The left side of the brain (or the left hemisphere) has many functions. Two of these are: 1) Processing of information - the left side of the brain takes small bits of information then orders and processes them to get the whole picture and form conclusions. (In contrast, the right side of the brain will look at the whole picture first and then break it down). 2) Processing of symbols and numbers - People who have a more dominant left side of the brain are usually able to solve maths and logic problems more easily than people with a dominant right hemisphere. The related link explains in more detail how the brain works in an easy to understand way.
Which part of the brain is the most functionally dominant in the majority of the population?
the left cerebral hemisphere
What are the functions of a corpus callosum?
It connects the left and right side of brain
What is a focal lesion on the temporal lobe?
Distinct damage to one area of the brain. The temporal lobe of the brain has many functions. Some of which: hearing and language processing and facial recognition. Depending on which hemisphere (right v. left) the damage occurs, the person can have many deficits in communication (esp. if on the dominant hemisphere, left for most people).
What does the front left lobe of the brain control?
emotions, speech, and motor functions.
What is the name of the left side of the brain?
left hemisphere
Are men right or left brained?
Yes, in a manner of speaking. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, right and left. People tend to have a dominant hemisphere which is what also drives their being right or left handed. People who have a dominant right hand (e.g., it is the one they write with and eat with), have a dominant left hemisphere of their brain and vice versa, those who write with their left hands are said to have a dominant right hemisphere of the brain. So, sometimes those with dominant right hands are called "left-brained" people.It is because the right side of the brain controls muscles on the left side of the body and the left side of the brain controls muscles on the right side of the body.Certain traits and abilities are also associated with the different brain hemispheres, for example:The right hemisphere is associated with:Spatial abilitiesFace recognitionVisual imageryMusicThe left Hemisphere is associated with:LanguageMathLogicMy nephew, who is left-handed, likes the pun: "Only left handed people are in their right minds."For more interesting information about the hemispheres of the brain and some experiments you can do to learn more about them, see the related link below.
