Whole Brain/Left Brain/Right Brain
Team 2Stephen, Josh, Anna & Kristian
Introduction• Our brain is divided into two halves, as most of us know: the left and right side. Each side
processes information very differently than the other, and the biggest difference is the visual aspect.
• The right side of the brain looks at visual reference as a whole, whether it be a landscape, object, or piece of artwork, and then works its way into noticing finer details.
• The left side on the other hand, first sees the details and puts them together to form the bigger picture.
• Our brains use both of these sides, mixing and matching each side’s abilities for a fully-functional human brain. However, each of us has a dominant side that leans more towards the behaviors of that respected side.
Right Brain• Those with a right-side dominant brain depend more on visual
references for understanding and are often times visual learners.
• They are more emotional, swayed by feelings, and are able to better understand and reflect on these feelings. Furthermore, right-brained thinkers are very intuitive and curious about the world.
• Finally, as a down side, they tend to be disorganized, lacking in time-management, and unable to prioritize well.
Left Brain• The left brain is the side that handles organization and logic.
• Because of this, those that have a dominant left side are also very organized; they prefer schedules and deadlines, and love rules and regulations. They are more auditory learners, and are better at using words to remember things rather than visual aids.
• They process ideas in a step-by-step, algorithmic way, and are therefore less prone to error.
Creative• As one may have probably already guessed, those with dominance in
the right brain may be more naturally creative.
• Right brained people may lean more towards abstract art, because of its lack of order and disorganization. Abstraction also gives no boundaries, so it can be considered more ‘outside-the-box’, or creative.
