在右撇子的世界中，左撇子似乎总有点儿特立独行，这让右撇子很不舒服。其实，人们只要注意到左撇子的右半球优势，并顺着这样的思路考虑，一切就很正常了。那么，到底哪些功能位于右半球，哪些功能位于左半球呢？下页表中将进行说明。

“直线思维”是指按逻辑上的顺序进行思考。人们可以把这种思维方式想象成一条直线，它从A到B，从B到C，从C到D……沿着一条直线走：A－B－C－D－……与此相对的，非直线思维则与此不同，它遵从一条主线，但同时也容许一些与主线没有直接联系的支流汇入，甚至容许偏离和倒退。直线的东西很多，时间的流逝就是一条直线，因为它是“依次”（一秒接一秒，一分钟接一分钟，一小时接一小时）被感觉到的。

左撇子擅长综合思维、整体思维，这样的思维往往是主线和旁支同时展开，盘根错节又秩序井然，这要比右撇子的直线思维复杂得多，因为这种思维要将众多的信息和事件同时处理，并建立起复杂的联系。这种###性，可以超越语言和逻辑而表达更多的东西。

思维方式影响着表达能力，因为“我们的语言是直线的，它只是逐字逐句地顺序进行，而不能形成复杂的整体。逻辑―语言思维一般指的是能被语言承载的思维。毋庸置疑，右半球也进行着逻辑思考，但是这种思考的复杂程度，却大大超出了语言的承载能力”。

抽象思维能力依赖于大脑左半球，右撇子左半球占优势，其抽象能力和逻辑性就明显要强。与此相对，左撇子则常常拥有出色的艺术思维才能以及良好的空间想象能力。凭借其惊人的方向感，左撇子能凭直觉把握空间和方位，而右撇子则需要求助于卡片或者城市地图。

情感理解力也由右半球控制，这样使得左撇子更能够设身处地地去考虑他人的情感。这种能力甚至可以使他们重新体验或者共同体验他人的情感。因此，左撇子是极其多愁善感的动物，他们连人与人之间感情波动的蛛丝马迹都能感觉得到。

对以上这些左撇子的特殊天赋，我本人便深有感触。

但是，现实生活中，有时也会出现一些奇特的冲突：作为一个左撇子，我的语言中心落在了非优势半球中，照理说，我的语言理解能力应该是非常差的。

然而，事实上，我却非常地热爱语言，而且我觉得学习语言是件相当容易的事。在这个过程中，左撇子所特有的整体思维能力使我受益良多。我永远都无法用语言向人们表达，我是用怎样的方式来“想象”语法的（枯燥的语法，在我的大脑中变成五颜六色的，###的，分别放在许多缤纷的盒子里，同时形状各异），以及我是如何将几种语言立体地学习的。但是可以肯定的是，在这种综合、整体思维的帮助下，我可以很好地掌握语言。如果我能把这一神奇的学习方式系统地传达出来，那该有多好！有了它的帮助，我想其他人也能够很轻松地学习语言了――但可惜的是，这一切却只可意会不可言传。

还有一个活生生的例子，就是伟大的数学家和物理学家阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein），他便是一个著名的左撇子。爱因斯坦之所以能提出伟大的相对论，很可能要归功于他所具有的左撇子的特殊天赋，正是由于大脑右半球的优势，使他不拘泥于陈腐的数学定律，而是从更高的角度，进行天才的“整体”思考，同时能更加游刃有余地处理一般的逻辑问题。

逻辑思维能力依赖于大脑左半球，这不是左撇子的优势，但并不能因此说他们对数学毫无天分。在数学研究中，有一种有趣的情况――数学家们也把某一个数字范围称为“区间”。例如，“从1到100的数字区间”或者“从1到1000的数字区间”。这就证明了，数字的思维和空间的思维在某种情况下也是可以相通的，于是，数学思维转变成了空间思维，左撇子对数学的理解便毫无问题了，不仅如此，他们还可以在这些“数字空间”中做到如鱼得水。不要忘了，左撇子的空间想象能力是非常优秀的。

不过，当面临高等、抽象的数学时，情况又不同了。此时左撇子的空间想象能力就变得没有用武之地了。左撇子所擅长的是把抽象的概念想象成具体可感的形象，然后把它们以某种方式立体地嵌入自己的思维体系中，从而掌握抽象的情况。

In the right-handed world, left-handed always seemed a bit maverick, allowing right-handed child very uncomfortable. In fact, one need only note left-right hemispheric dominance, and along this line of thought to consider, everything seemed normal. So, in the end which features in the right hemisphere, which features in the left hemisphere does? Next table will illustrate.

"Linear thinking" is defined as a logical sequence of thought. One can imagine that this way of thinking into a straight line, it from A to B, from B to C, from C to D ... ... to go along a straight line: A-B-C-D-... ... with this relative, Non-linear thinking is this different, it is to comply with a main line, but it also allows some not directly connected with the main line of a tributary to import, and even to allow deviation and retrogression. A lot of things straight, the passage of time is a straight line, because it is "turn" (one second then second, one minute then a minute, an hour from one hour) was felt.

Left-handed good comprehensive thinking, holistic thinking, such thinking is often the main line and the secondary form at the same time to start deep-rooted also in good order, which right-handed than straight-line thinking is much more complicated, because such thinking to a large number of information and events at the same time dealing with and to establish the complex links. This # # # nature, can transcend language and logic to express something more.

Way of thinking affects the ability to express, because "our language is linear, it is just word by word order, but can not form a complex whole. Logic - Language can be thought generally refers to the language bearer of thinking. Needless to say, the right hemisphere is also engaged in logical thinking, but the complexity of such thinking, but far beyond the carrying capacity of language. "

Abstract thinking ability depends on the brain hemisphere, right-handed left hemisphere dominant, their ability and logical abstraction noticeably stronger. In contrast, left-handed are often the art of thinking has an excellent talent and good spatial imagination. With its amazing sense of direction, left-hander can intuitively grasp the space and location, while the right-handed child will need to resort to the card or a map of the city.

Emotional understanding is also controlled by the right hemisphere, so that makes the left-handed, land ourselves in a better position to consider the feelings of others. This capability can even make them re-experience the feelings of others, or a common experience. Therefore, the left-hander is extremely sentimental animals, even among people who are emotionally disturbed clues can be felt.

These left-handed pairs of a special talent I have deep feelings.

However, in real life, and sometimes some strange conflict: As a left-handed, my language center falls in the non-dominant hemisphere, fair to say that my ability to understand the language should be very poor.

However, in fact, I was very much in love language, and I feel that learning language is a piece very easy. In this process, the left-handed by the unique ability to think makes me a whole benefited greatly. I'll never have no words to express to people that I have used what means to "imagine" syntax (and boring syntax, in my brain into a colorful, # # #, respectively, on a number of colorful box the same time, various shapes), and how I was three-dimensional way of learning several languages. But be sure, in this integrated, holistic thinking, help, I can master the language well. If I can learn this magic way out of the system to convey that to the how good! With its help, I think other people can easily learn the language - but unfortunately, all this only to realize unspeakable.

There is also a vivid example is the great mathematician and physicist Albert? Einstein (Albert Einstein), he is a well-known left-handed. Einstein's theory of relativity has been able to make grand, is likely to be due to a left-handed he has a special talent, it is precisely because the right brain hemisphere advantage, so that he does not rigidly adhere to the mathematical laws of trite, but from a higher point of view conduct of genius "overall" thinking at the same time can be more its capability to deal with the general logic.

Logical thinking capability relies on a brain hemisphere, which is not left-handed advantage, but we can not say that they have no talent for math. In mathematics, there is an interesting case - a mathematician who also put a certain number range called "range." For example, "from 1 to 100 the number of range" or "number from 1 to 1000 range." This proved that the number of thinking and spatial thinking is also possible in certain circumstances interlinked, and therefore, transformed into mathematical thinking, spatial thinking, left-handed pairs of mathematical understanding is there is no problem, and not only that, they can also These "digital space" to do duck to water. Do not forget that left-handed spatial imagination is very good.

However, when faced with a higher abstract mathematics, the situation is very different. At this time left-handed spatial imagination becomes not useful here. Left-handed is good at is to abstract concepts into concrete can imagine the sense of the image, and then put them in one way or three-dimensional way of thinking embedded in their system, so as to equip the abstract situation.
