left hemisphere theory

The left hemisphere theory suggests that the left side of the brain is primarily responsible for logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and language skills. It is often associated with tasks that require detail-oriented processing, such as mathematics and problem-solving. In contrast, the right hemisphere is thought to handle creativity, intuition, and holistic thinking. While both hemispheres work together and share responsibilities, the theory emphasizes the unique strengths of the left hemisphere in shaping our general knowledge through structured and systematic approaches to learning and understanding the world.
