The Left and Right Side
Many different types of studies have been done to determine the difference between the left and right sides of the brain. It was found that the right hemisphere deals more with perceptual tasks while the left side is more calculating, meaning the right is artsy and left is logical. The right hemisphere will do better with making inferences such as if a person asks, "What goes with boot, summer and ground," the person will answer camp (Beeman & Chiarello,1998; Bowden & Beeman,1998; Mason & Just, 2004). The left hemisphere will make more literal interpretations. The right side also helps with making what we say clear and keep a sense of themselves (Heller,1990). If there is damage the right hemisphere, a paralyzed person may believe that they can still move that part of their body(Berti et al, 2005).
