rain vs right brain: what impact does it have on learning Have you ever heard some people say that "I learn this way because I am right or left brain dominant", but what is your learning style? Some people spend much of their lives not knowing what learning style works for them. It's good to know what this learning style is so that people can respond most effectively to the material presented. Templeton (2003). The better people know their learning style, the faster they can develop and process information. The hemisphere of the brain; which are called left and right brain; plays an important role in influencing people's learning style. The left and right brain are connected only by nerve fibers; which are called corpus callosum; helps share information between the two brains. Knowing which part of the brain is dominant will help them better understand what their learning style is. In 1981, Nobel Prize winner Roger Sperry was one of the first scientists to do a two-brain experiment, called the “split-brain” experiment. His conclusion was that there appear to be two modes of thought, verbal and non-verbal, represented rather separately in the left and right hemispheres respectively and that our educational system, as well as science in general, tends to neglect the non-verbal form of intellect . The point is that modern society discriminates against the right hemisphere. Eden (2011). Scientists will say that the left hemisphere learns more auditorily, while the right hemisphere learns more visually. Some people would say that whatever their gender affects how people learn and what part of their brain to use in school; what impact they are learning.
