The Misconception Regarding Right-Brain Vs Left-Brain
I was shocked, surprised and doubted this at first because how did you expect me to believe that an information I've carried for over 21years thinking it was true just turned out to be false just because of a minute Google information, lol, but as time went on, I saw reasons to believe it's true.
Learning is a continuous process till death; so to say that even at your death bed, you can still learn.
What makes learning more fun is that you really don't need to get to the four walls of school for you to learn, often times, we learn from our interactions with one another and from our experiences too making learning an act with inexhaustible sources.
That notwithstanding, some of the things we learnt are incorrect and they looks too good to be false or we are just too lazy to check it up and confirm their authenticity.
Atimes, it might be because the whole population sees it as truth and we just queue in to the general populace and assume it's true.
Growing up, when we misbehave in our neighborhood, a teacher that lives around us then will shout at the person saying,
"Seems your left-brain is blocked/dysfunctional?"
Invariably relating it to,"seems you can't think well"
This made me grow up with the notion that Left-Brain brain is used for logical reasoning and analysis whereas the Right-Brain is used for creativity and artistic functions.
How could I have doubted this when it was coming from a teacher and I was just a kid, lol.
Entering the university, when we did the anatomy and physiology of the brain, I was waiting for a clear distinction as regards to the function I already knew about it but I never heard any of my lecturers mention it till we finished the topic.
It got me thinking if they forgot to talk about it,but then, going through the handouts and textbooks, I didn't see that information also.
This made me look it up on Google then and I discovered that it was all fallacy as both creativity, artistic functions, logical reasoning and analysis are all distributed throughout the entire brain and we use both brain hemispheres for various tasks.
Learning makes life fun and sometimes but sometimes, we just have to confirm our facts especially when we heard it over a discussion before we spread it to others, hehe.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day

What you discovered about brain functions being distributed throughout the brain makes a lot of sense, but like you, I had previously believed in the left-right model.
Hehe, I think it's what they sold to us all growing up😂
It's crazy how I have also believed the same thing all my life and only found out the truth now 😂But seriously, isn't creativity and logical reasoning handled by different brain parts? I guess I will do more research on this later
Now? Like now now?😂😂😂😂
I guess it'll be better when you do your own research and get the answers, it'll still shock you then but you'll have a clearer understanding of it 😂
I also believed the same thing lol, still do to a certain extent. I think with evolution, things are become less delineated than before. Some use certain aspects of their brain over others based on natural disposition(s).
Well, if you really want to get down to the argument, it might have some elements of truth in the statement but like you said, o think the evolution came in and showed us a clearer picture other than the vagued one we worked with.
Thanks for the continued support man
I actually didn't believe this saying because, maybe I was just too stubborn to. Just like how they say left handed people are more intelligent. What about me that uses right hand, am I daft? 😂😂😂
The point is everyone has brain, it just depends on how they use it.
😂😂😂😂, Help me ask them oh
I'm also too stubborn to believe this one, I didn't even research anything on it, I just heard it and discredited it immediately 😂😂
Thinking about it now sef, Intelligence is multifactorial.
Most people tend to learn this way, they believe whatever information they hear as far it's coming from someone they know without checking the facts and authenticity of that information.
No doubt but then atimes I don't blame them.
Imaging a professor telling me something I didn't know before, I'll just presume a professor should be true and might not even bother checking my facts straight 😂😂😂
