What does your learning style have to do with the right or left side of your brain?

Learning styles can most fundamentally be thought of as “right” or “left.”   This is short-hand for the right or left side of the brain and refers to the fact that different facilities, faculties, or abilities are stored in different areas of the brain.

Right and left denotes location.

It is also interesting to point out that humans are constructed in such a way that most right-handed individuals have a dominant left-brain, while most left-handed individuals have a dominant right-brain.

Left handed people account for approximately 7-11% of the general population, and not everyone who is right-handed is wholly left-brained, and visa versa.
