A Single Optimum Degree of Hemispheric Specialisation in Two Tasks, in Two UK National Birth Cohorts
Peer reviewed
Direct linkLeask, S. J.; Crow, T. J. – Brain and Cognition, 2006
How "differences" between the two sides of the brain (or "laterality") relate to level of function are important components of theories of the origin and purpose of hemispheric asymmetry, although different measures show different relationships, and this heterogeneity makes discerning any underlying relationships a difficult…

Split-Brain Theory and Recent Results in Brain Research: Implications for the Design of Instruction.
Hand, James D. – 1984
This review of the literature on the workings of the brain in relation to learning and instructional design reviews recent research on both long- and short-term memory, and discusses findings on lateralized or "split-brain" functions. Problems associated with short-term memory are also considered, and the concept of the Tribune Brain is…

This report describes some current research which links selected aspects of brain research to selected issues in education. These issue areas include: (1) the relationship between neurophysiology and cognition; (2) the implications of cerebral lateralization for creativity, imagery, and art education; (3) sex differences in brain functioning; (4)…

MacRae-Campbell, Linda – 1989
New views of intelligence and cognitive learning styles highlight ways to increase educational effectiveness by improving instructional methods. Research shows that both hemispheres of the brain play a role in learning, but evidence indicates that one hemisphere may be more aroused than the other in the case of a particular child. Individuals with…

Crouch-Shinn, Jenella; Shaughnessy, Michael F. – 1984
This paper attempts to examine the research of split-brain, hemispheric specialization, and brain function, as it pertains to handwriting, brain wave patterns, and lateral differences. Studies are reviewed which point to asymmetric differentiated functions and capacities of the two cerebral hemispheres in split-brain patients and in normal…

Johnson, Susan A. – 1983
A literature review was conducted to identify factors in recent brain research related to the needs of elementary school students and to provide a comprehensive list of strategies from which teachers may choose to improve the "brain compatibility" of their classrooms. Annotations of 65 articles are provided. Articles are arranged…
