Do Left or Right Brain Training Exercises Have the Greater Effect upon College Calculus Achievement?
Download full textMiller, Cynthia A. – 1988
Research supports the premise that various mathematical topics can be categorized as being performed better by the left or right brain hemisphere. This study examined the effect of left and right brain hemispheric lateralization exercises upon course grades in two sections of Analysis I (beginning calculus for mathematics/science majors) at a…

Iaccino, James F. – 1989
A study examined laterality effects observed in previous studies in which men as well as right-handers show a right-visual field (RVF) advantage for letter recall and a left-visual field (LVF) advantage for letter position recall, suggesting asymmetrical brain organization for these groups. Subjects, 96 undergraduates equally divided by sex and…

Struve, Nancy – 1982
The unit provides information on the study of the human brain for students in grades 5-9 with suggestions for extending the lessons for gifted and talented students. Learning activities are offered for ten lessons (sample subtopics in parentheses); introduction to the unit (student pretest and posttest); brain growth; medulla-oblongata-reptilian…

PDF pending restorationMiller, Cynthia A. – 1986
Research supports the premise that various mathematical topics can be categorized as being performed better by the left or right brain hemisphere. Hemispheric lateralization is defined as a learner's preferred hemisphere of control. Torrence's "Human Information Processing Survey" was given to 170 black female college students enrolled in…

Iaccino, James F.; Sowa, Stephen J. – 1988
A study examined the effects of sex, handedness, and instructions in the processing of verbal and spatial information presented tachistoscopically. Subjects, 48 volunteers from Illinois Benedictine College, were evenly distributed in terms of sex and handedness, and were further divided into two subgroups based on whether visual field attendance…

Van Blerkom, Malcolm L. – 1986
A follow-up study was made of cross-sectional research on the development of dichhaptic lateralization. One hundred and eighty students in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 from two school districts were tested. Participants were 9 boys and 9 girls from each grade level for each district. Subjects were at least 90 percent right-handed, as determined by…

Peer reviewedGur, Raquel E.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1975
This study examined the relationship between functional brain assymetry, as measured by the characteristic direction of eye movements in response to face-to-face questioning, and sitting on the left or right side of a classroom. Results are congruent with other findings comparing right and left movers. (Author/BJG)

Van Camp, Sarah S. – 1980
This paper reports a study of cerebral dominance in 42 preschool and kindergarten children. In order to tap left hemisphere functioning, a story of approximately 650 words and 77 specific plot details was composed. Children listened to the 7 minute story and were asked to repeat it. Responses were taped. Tangram pieces were used to assess right…

This report is one of a regular series about the status and progress of studies on the nature of speech, instrumentation for its investigation, and practical applications. The 11 papers discuss the dissociation of spectral and temporal cues to the voicing distinction in initial stopped consonants; perceptual integration and selective attention in…

Jamieson, John L.; And Others – 1978
Finger temperature was recorded bilaterally from 29 right handed test anxious females while they listened to a tape describing test taking situations. Subjects also completed the A-State and A-Trait anxiety inventories, the Test Anxiety Inventory, the Irrational Beliefs Test, and the Differential Personality Questionnaire. A significant…

KARRAKER, R.J. – 1968
RECENT RESEARCH ON THE DISCRIMINATION PROCESS INDICATES THAT ERRORLESS LEARNING CAN OCCUR IF STIMULI ARE CAREFULLY PROGRAMED SO THAT THEY ARE DISSIMILAR AND GRADUALLY BECOME MORE SIMILAR AS TRAINING PROCEEDS. TO ASSESS THIS APPROACH IN TEACHING THE LOWER- CASE LETTER B AND D WITH KINDERGARTEN SUBJECTS, TWO SETS OF STIMILI CONSTITUTED THE FIRST…

Harris, Albert J. – 1968
Four new approaches to remedial reading directed toward the stimulation of defective perceptual areas by procedures other than teaching reading skills are reviewed. The Delacato approach emphasizes the development of neurological organization and laterality. It may be useful for a small percentage of children with severe reading disabilities, but…

Lutz, Kathryn A. – 1978
Research involving split-brain patients has shown that the two hemispheres of the brain process information differently. The left side of the brain is more analytical, the right side is more holistic, taking in overall characteristics rather than specific detail. This reserach can be applied to the educational process in several ways. The concepts…

Tomatis, Alfred – 1969
It is stated that dyslexia is a disorder of auditory origin. The meaning of dyslexia is divided into the medical and educational aspects of the disease in an attempt to lead the teacher to emphasize hearing in education rather than merely sight. The role of the teacher, doctor, and psychologist in the history of dyslexia is discussed. In dealing…

Smith, Dorothy Gaston – 1969
A group of 34 subjects each with a reading deficiency of 1 year or more were studied on the following variables: visual perception, arithmetic, memory, auditory perception, and laterality. The age range was from 8 to 13 years, with a mean grade deficiency of 1.93 years. Using the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic test as the diagnostic instrument, the…
