Left brain vs. right brain

James Bow

Book - 2019

"The brain is a powerful, complex organism that is responsible for many functions in our day-to-day life. There is a theory that some people are governed more by the left-brain, and others by the right-brain. Some believe that this determines part of our personality, but is it really true?"--Publisher.

Review by Booklist Review

What does it mean to be a left- or right-brained person? This informative book in the What Goes On inside Your Brain? series (6 titles) looks at how the brain's right and left hemispheres function and why, exactly, the brain divides up the work. The book explores the long-held theory that left-brained people are good at math, science, and logical thinking, while right-brained people are more creative and emotional. More recent research has found that the differences are not as distinct as originally supposed. ""Speak Your Mind"" sidebars pose critical-thinking questions and encourage readers to give reasons for their answers. This overview of the subject gives young readers useful information for research while providing answers for those curious about the most complex organ in the human body.--Sharon Rawlins Copyright 2019 Booklist
