Introduction. The recent emphasis on learning strategies and their effects on success has promoted researchers from different disciplines to carry out research in this regard. Methods. This paper reports the results of the study performed on 41 students, randomly selected out of 120 students, in an attempt to find out their learning style preferences. It has replicated the study presented by ...

Introduction: Based on the previous studies, we know that the hemispheric lateralization defects, increase the probability of psychological disorders. We also know that dominant limb is controlled by dominant hemisphere and limb preference is used as an indicator for hemisphere dominance. In this study we attempted to explore the hemispheric dominance by the use of three limbs (hand, foot...

Schizophrenia is associated with an absence of the lateralizations that typify the human brain. Previous evidence emphasized structural changes, particularly reduced asymmetry in extension and surface of the planum temporale, although gross structural deviations occur only in a minority of patients. The present study describes an absence of lateralization on a robust functional measure that cha...

Visuospatial functions are typically lateralized to the right cerebral hemisphere, giving rise to a left visual field advantage in visual half-field tasks. In a first study we investigated whether this is also true for symmetry detection off fixation. Twenty right-handed participants with left hemisphere speech dominance took part in a visual half-field experiment requiring them to judge the sy...

One of the most important factors controlling material specific processing in the human brain is language dominance, i.e. hemispheric specialization in semantic processes. Although previous studies have shown that lateralized long-term memory processes in the medial temporal lobes are modified in subjects with atypical (right) language dominance, the effect of language dominance on the neural b...

The best established lateralized cerebral function is speech production, with the majority of the population having left hemisphere dominance. An important question is how to best assess the laterality of this function. Neuroimaging techniques such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) are increasingly used in clinical settings to replace the invasive Wada-test. We evaluated the usefu...

the purpose of the research was to examine the relationship between educational administrators' brain quadrant dominance and the level of their performance effectiveness. by using stratified-random sampling method, 103 managers and 412 teachers were selected as the study sample; they were recruited from high schools in mashhad in 2008-2009 academic year. herrmann brain dominance instrument, wit...

The educational concepts upholding the theory of brain dominance have been developed for more than 30 years. Some academicians a series syllabus to exploit capability students by training their weaker hemisphere brain. Prior side with syllabus, student shall be determined. All current methods used determine are questionnaire-based assessments. There is possibility that questionnaire biases coul...

Functional hemispheric asymmetry is a common feature of vertebrate brain organization, yet little is known about how hemispheric dominance is implemented at the neural level. One notable example of hemispheric dominance in birds is the leading role of the left hippocampal formation in controlling navigational processes that support homing in pigeons. Relying on resting state fMRI analyses (wher...
