In my personal experience, I have told a lot that people perform differently just because their brainsā working areas are different and the lead to preference of people. For instance, a person who is good at math just because he has a more active right brain. However, the article I read this week shocked me a lot.
The article says that actually there is no significant bias of people using their brains, which means that two parts of our brain, at all times, work together and corporate with each other. It is obvious that both of these two parts have their advantages. For example, the left brain deals with peopleās pronunciation whereas the right brain focuses more on the logic of things. Besides, there is no bias that only the left or the right part of the brain dominates peopleās actions, so it is wrong that attribute all differences from individuals to their brains.
The article tells me that the differences among people are not as drastic as I thought before and it provides a basic view that when teachers are teaching their students, the teacher should focus more on the different learning styles, but not focuses on which student has a ābetterā brain.

Hi Heqi, after reading your post, I was as shocked as you, because I always thought that people’s left and right brains sometimes affect people’s behavior alone, but in fact, they work together at any time. In addition, I wonder if there are species in which the left and right brain can affect behavior respectively? I’ve heard that dolphins can use their left or right brain alone.
