“There has been a great deal of research done on brain dominance which includes right and left brain behaviors. Your left-brain’s job is words, language, analysis, order, logic, numbers and sequence. Your right brain’s job is music, rhythm, imagination, and patterns, challenging mental models, appreciation and synthesis. Different people prefer to reside predominantly on different sides … the real power comes from combining the two, when the right and left brain are combined, the most long-term learning occurs.”
