- THE LEFT HEMISPHERE
- Psychologists have found some very
- specific and surprising differences
- between the right and left hemi-
- spheres of the brain and the way
- these hemispheres affect the human
- intellect. The left hemisphere is
- oriented toward verbal and analyti-
- cal understanding and it handles
- information in a sequential, logical
- manner. Both language and mathema-
- tics are left-brain skills, and this
- hemisphere excels in classifying ob-
- jects in standard, linguistically
- defined categories. Schools tend to
- spend most time teaching left hemi-
- sphere skills. Tests A, B, and C mea-
- sure these abilities.
