Research Synthesis on Right and Left Hemispheres: We Think with Both Sides of the Brain.

Levy, Jerre

Educational Leadership, v40 n4 p66-71 Jan 1983

Simplified interpretations of brain function portraying rationality solely in the left hemisphere and creativity solely in the right are incorrect, but the two sides of the brain do differ in important ways. Conclusive implications of brain research cannot yet be drawn for educational practices, but certain inferences can be made. (Author/JM)
