GREY MATTERS

The brain is composed of	two hemispheres, left and right
The corpus collosum integrates	the left and right side providing a communication path for the transmission of learning and memory
The right hemisphere controls	left motor and sensory activity and is the location of spacial relationships, artistic expression and visualization
The left hemisphere controls	right motor and sensory activity and is the location of reacting, language, and handwriting
The left hemisphere also has	the centres for speech and hearing

Left Hemisphere Style	Right Hemisphere Style
Rational Responds to verbal instructions Problem solves by logically and sequentially looking at the parts of things Looks at differences Is planned and structured Prefers established, certain information Prefers talking and writing Prefers multiple choice tests Controls feelings Prefers ranked authority structures	Intuitive Responds to demonstrated instructions Problem solves with hunches, looking for patterns and configurations Looks at similarities Is fluid and spontaneous Prefers elusive, uncertain information Prefers drawing and manipulating objects Prefers open ended questions Free with feelings Prefers collegial authority structures
Sequential Is a splitter: distinction important Is logical, sees cause and effect	Simultaneous Is a lumper: connectedness important Is analogic, sees correspondences, resemblances
Draws on previously accumulated, organized	Draws on unbounded qualitative patterns that are not organized into sequences, but that cluster around images
