ted fact that most people are primarily left, or primarily right brain thinkers. According to Allen Bragdon and David Gamon, Ph.D. the specific kinds of intelligence that contribute to professional and personal success exist in the left part of the brain. They say to help improve performance in real-world problem-solving situations a person can do mental-conditioning exercises to gradually build neuron-strength. Doing such exercises can help develop language, math, executive, planning and social skills just as physical exercises build muscle groups. Here's a tip: “When you can't think of a word, look right. Researchers observed that test-takers do better at verbal memory problems when gazing to the right, which stimulates the left hemisphere.” The right side of your brain specializes in recognizing shapes and visualizing them in space. Engineers, architects, carpenters and map-readers are strong in this skill. Someone skilled, or gifted, with the use of there right brain can remember detailed photographs and other physical facts.When the brain is used for writing it seems as if both sides can be very useful. For example the nature writer must visualize what they see and put it down on paper. The seeing aspect of that is mostly right brained. However ones language is processed through the left-brain, therefore both are of necessity. Now that we know a little more of how we learn, as far as our brain is concerned, we must now tackle, what is important, and how we research it. What is research? How does one use it? What types are there? How do researchers work? Those questions will soon be answered.According to World Book: “research is the systematic investigation of a particular subject…. research means the collection of preexisting information.” So when someone is researching very little thought is involved. All a research does, at lest non-scientific ones, is take what others have said and re...
