Left Brain Games: Learn New Skills and Concepts with Interactive and Engaging Games

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

Whether some functions are physically left or right (and BTW, some people are reverse-wired), we would be wise to follow the advise to incorporate more spatial and abstract subject in academic curriculum.

I am a right brain thinker and applier. My strengths always lied within the world of hands on experiences, symbols, colors (which I still use today as an adult, to highlight important information, only so I could remember important information), creativity, seminars, public presentations and the list goes on.

When I was young, I always felt very insecure, and intimidated by some of the teachers in the school system. Now, I have since gone on to be a career woman and a mother. I realized how unique we each are.The fact that some people are left/right thinkers does not divide the intelligence but enhances the qualities of each gift we all have to offer the academic world as well as the creative world. I feel the education system must acknowledge first this is an issue, than do the research, acquire the necessary tools and skills towards understanding the learning differences and techniques that can provide a healthier and a fairer playing field for all our students that walk through each door of our educational institutions.

I think this was very informative. If teachers would incorporate right-brained talents and skills in the classrooms I think education as a whole would be impacted more positively. And education would contribute to the production of more well individuals.

I am a bi-polar, or more appropriately stated: I am an individual who suffers from the mental illness of Bi-Polarism. I find that during my episodes I am very much right brained, but when stable I am left brained. It also seems that my bio-chemistry switchs automatically between these two options.

I was an art major in college and loved a lot of the activities and projects that I was able to participate in. Make sure that the teachers are as right brained as the school claims to teach. Subjection creates a pass/fail environment when it comes to grading and often times instructors try to lean back on their left brains to grade projects. One bad instructor can really harm the growth of a right brain thinker.

a.) Learning from left brained helps problem solving. From the puzzle example: the person has to complete puzzles to understand the whole image. Then, because they fit puzzle pieces they learn the relationships of parts to form a whole.

The individual personality is a complex mixture of left-right brain activity, and while some are more dominant in one or the other, I think it is a mistake to categorize them as one or the other. Indeed, as a web designer and developer, I find myself more creative on some days, and more analytical on others.

It is fun to try and determine what side you use more. There is an interesting test here: -games/left-brain-vs-right-brain/story-e6frg46u-1111114517613?from=mostpop that involves staring at a dancer. Supposedly you can determine what side you use based on the way you see it spin.

I agree with the assessment thing. Right brained talents and skills do need to be more honoured and recognised. Usually the creative kids are dismissed by teachers as being overly imaginative and unconventional.

I am finding that the older adults that I lead in Tai Chi have a great deal of trouble doing any crossbody movements It appears that we may become more brain one-side as we grow older unless we use both sides on a regular basis,

Very interesting. Im a computer tech and Im having some depression problems. Thing is Im trying to look for more information on how my brain works. As a tech I cant afford to loose my skills. I would like to recieve more info. Thank you.

AK, although I agree with you that people can use both parts of their brain, one side does tend to be more dominant then another. In most people, anyways. Science proves that the left and right brains have different functions, it depends on the person as to which one to use. So of course everyone can use it, but that doesnt mean there is no dominate side.

I have actually skimmed through the 4-MAT system book before. One of my management professors in college had that book and shared some insights from it during one of his brain profiling lectures. Very interesting stuff.

i'm quite right-brained, being an actor, creative writer, a singer and an artist. i'm considered a gifted child in the arts, and it bothers me that schools are extremely left-brained, and have no focus on the arts! i have extreme trouble with math, and it bothers me.

Interesting. I saw her spinning right itemdiaemly, but then I scrolled page down , and up again and she was spinning left. I was scrolling back up really slow and she was spinning left until I opened up the whole image as soon as the head was visible she flipped right back to the clockwise spin. Pretty cool.. kinda messes with your head.

It is possible to have both sides of your brain working actively at the same time. If you find that you do this often, or have taken certain aptitude tests, for leadership and teamwork etc. The majority of the people who engage both sides of the brain equally are usually of higher IQ levels. Known as divergent thinking it can be learnt but is very difficult, especially for people who are highly left or right side thinkers.

My kids go to a great school! There aren't many out there, some families move from far away specifically for our school. But the kids are free to pursue their passions and LEARN in the fashion that works for them-no forced classes, everything is by choice. All ages are mixed together from 4 to 18. It works great for right brain thinkers because they aren't forced into a box where they don't fit. They are allowed to grow and be confident in who they are develop their own learning style. Left brain thinkers thrive as well, because the kids run the school, so there are lots of meetings, and things to be done, lists to be made! because there are no expectations or grades or judging, the kids are free to grow, no one knocks them down. Too bad all education isn't like that

I took a test in biology class several years ago that determined if you were predominantly right or left brained. It was based on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being completely left, 10 completely right. I scored a 5.0 =)

I have CPS in the left side of my brain which is a form of epilepsy so my left side of my brain lacks and my right side takes over which my neurologist says happens and i have every single one of those qualities and absolutly none of the left sides qualities

The Left Brain Right Brain game series is designed to equallytrain a player's weak and dominant hands via logic-based mini-gamesthat require players to rotate the DS in book style play. In LeftBrain Right Brain 2, players use the Touch Screen in 20 new gamesbased on speed, accuracy, association, recognition, memory andstrategy. Games like Balloon Attack, Block Buster, Cosmic Seesawand Space Escape, among others, strengthen the left and righthemispheres of the brain by making players switch hands throughoutplay. Afterwards, players can monitor personal progress and assessimprovement by reviewing development percentages for each hand.Gamers can also tailor their favorite mental-training routine inthe new Exercises mode, while testing 'good' and 'weak' hands viathree random games in Ambidexterity Check. Finally, players cancompete with a friend in both single and multi-card multiplayermode to prove who has the mental skills to be trulyambidextrous.

Once both of these tasks were understood we went to the covered arena and reviewed the first three games, lateral flexion, backing and transitions from zone 3. This time, I was in the lead as we wondered around and made suggestions of which things he should investigate and touch with his nose.

Once we finished games 4-5 I felt that he was calm, connected and responsive. After some time to soak I introduced him to the saddle pad and did some approach and retreat with it. Allowing him to follow it at first, then throwing it up and over from each side. It was not long before he was trying to eat the pad, showing me his gained confidence. I took the green light and laid over him myself. He felt very confident with this stage. So, I forked my legs over and practiced our Lateral flexion on each side. After he gave me some good lick and chews I slid off and hand grazed him for our grand finale.

The brain is a complex organ that controls all bodily processes, including thought, sensory perception, and physical action. Despite weighing only 3 pounds, the human brain contains as many as 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections.

Research suggests that the left brain vs. right brain theory is not correct. While specific parts of the brain do dominate the processing of different mental tasks, there is typically no overall dominant side.

The division of these processes can differ between people. For example, the left side of the brain is primarily responsible for language and communication in most right-handed people, while this is less common in those who are left-hand dominant.

Based on brain research, Left Brain/Right Brain 2 will train both sides of your brain and challenge your non-dominant hand. It will strengthen your mental skill while allowing you to become ambidextrous at the same time. Book style play challenges you to flip the DS over and around to develop your hand-eye coordination with both your left and right hands. This second edition of the popular Left Brain/Right Brain game has 20 new games and new graphics that make for a better presentation than the first version. Monitoring of personal progress and development percentages are available for each hand. 2ff7e9595c
