Document Summary
It should also be borne in mind that the type of daily life tasks that require "a specific hemisphere" according to popular belief, does not fully conform to the left hemisphere / right hemisphere categorization . 1: one of the skills with which it is easier to disprove the myth is with creativity . In fact, there is a study that compares the brains of "letter" students (philology, history, art) with "science" students (engineering, physics, chemistry) and the results are surprising . Studies on the subject: several investigations point out that the right hemisphere has a greater role in the moments when we have great intuition . The right hemisphere was activated more clearly, leading some of the participants to the solution of the task. In any case, it must be clarified that insight (the process of internalization or internal understanding) is only one aspect of creativity. For example, the ability to explain stories would be another creative aspect.
