I was shocked, surprised and doubted this at first because how did you expect me to believe that an information I've carried for over 21years thinking it was true just turned out to be false just because of a minute Google information, lol, but as time went on, I saw reasons to believe it's true.
Learning is a continuous process till death; so to say that even at your death bed, you can still learn.
What makes learning more fun is that you really don't need to get to the four walls of school for you to learn, often times, we learn from our interactions with one another and from our experiences too making learning an act with inexhaustible sources.
That notwithstanding, some of the things we learnt are incorrect and they looks too good to be false or we are just too lazy to check it up and confirm their authenticity.
Atimes, it might be because the whole population sees it as truth and we just queue in to the general populace and assume it's true.
Growing up, when we misbehave in our neighborhood, a teacher that lives around us then will shout at the person saying,
"Seems your left-brain is blocked/dysfunctional?"
Invariably relating it to,"seems you can't think well"
This made me grow up with the notion that Left-Brain brain is used for logical reasoning and analysis whereas the Right-Brain is used for creativity and artistic functions.
How could I have doubted this when it was coming from a teacher and I was just a kid, lol.
Entering the university, when we did the anatomy and physiology of the brain, I was waiting for a clear distinction as regards to the function I already knew about it but I never heard any of my lecturers mention it till we finished the topic.
It got me thinking if they forgot to talk about it,but then, going through the handouts and textbooks, I didn't see that information also.
This made me look it up on Google then and I discovered that it was all fallacy as both creativity, artistic functions, logical reasoning and analysis are all distributed throughout the entire brain and we use both brain hemispheres for various tasks.
Learning makes life fun and sometimes but sometimes, we just have to confirm our facts especially when we heard it over a discussion before we spread it to others, hehe.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day
