THE RIGHT MIND
Making Sense of the Hemispheres
Robert Ornstein
Harcourt Brace, 1997
LEARNING OBJECTIVES - This course was designed to allow the reader to:
• Become familiar with many of the findings from the past 25 years of cerebral asymmetry research
• Examine changes in the field
• Be able to argue that facts, details, what Ornstein calls 'text,' are processed in the left hemisphere, while the right mind of the right hemisphere sets the context and makes sense of it all
• Review research in anthropology, linguistics, and animals
• Study how asymmetry is related to the dawn of written language, as well as to left-right differences in very primitive animals
