Left and Right Brain Dominance

The brain is divided into two parts. The left brain is like the zoom lens. It is logical, analitical, and mathematical. The right brain is like the wide- angle lens. It is better at remembering social, emotional, and artistic experiences. Left brain and right brain is processing involve a whole set of style differences.

Very young children tend to use their right brain more. Then, as they grow older, the left brain develops. As an adult, people use one side or the other side most.

Left brain	Right brain
Zoom lens Rule and definitions Logical, systematic, planned Language, mathematics Focuses on detail	Wide-e angle lens General guidelines Intuitive, flexible, spontaneous Music, art Get the general idea

           

            In English classes, we may have been using our left brain by focusing on detail instead of being more relaxed and childlike. We might become a better learner by using more of our right brain. On the other hand, it’s important to remember that the left and right sides in our brain work together as a team. It’s important to know which side of the brain we usually use more, but it’s also important for you to use both sides of your brain, depending on the situation.

Reflectivity and Impulsivity

Reflective people usually like to think quite a lot before making a decision. They need to be certain of the right answer before trying it out. On the other hand, impulsive learners are faster thinkers. They usually enjoy making guesses. They are also willing to be wrong sometimes.

	Reflective style	Impulsive style
Advantages	More accurate speaking More accurate reading Think carefully before acting	More willing to speak in class Faster reading Better in time tests
disadvantages	Wait too long to speak Read more slowly Slower in timed tests	Less accurate in speaking Less accurate in reading Act without thinking enough

Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Styles

·        

Visual learners tend to prefer reading and studying charts, drawings, and other graphic information.

·         Auditory learners show prefers listening to lectures and audiotapes.

·         Kinesthetic learners will a show preference for demonstrations and physical activity involving bodily movement.

Most successful learners utilize both visual and auditory input, but slight preference one way or the other may distinguish one learner from another, an important factor for classroom instruction. And style can be a reflection if not a direct product of one’s culture background, which spurs teachers to be sensitive to students’ heritage languages and culture in the process of engaging in classroom activities.
