The Human brain has two hemispheres
which function differently


From classical times, it has been known that the human brain has two distinct ways of thinking and knowing. Many scientists, intellectuals, and authors have given names to these two types of intelligence or cognitive styles.

Some examples are:
 
  Left Brain
  Right Brain
  RATIONAL  
  Maslow   Rational   Intuitive
  Bruner   Rational   Metaphoric
  Koestler   Associative thinking   Bisociative thinking
  De Bono   Vertical   Horizontal or lateral
  Bronowski   Deductive   Imaginative
  Shopenhauer   Objective   Subjective
  Freud   Secondary process   Primary process
  Jung   Causal   Acausel
  Langer   Discursive symbolism   Presentational symbolism
  Neisser   Sequential processing   Multiple processing
  Kubie   Conscious processing   Preconscious processing

Whatever they are labeled, the effective use of these two distinctive processes is vital for all creative human thought, for the full functions of the human brain.
