The Impact Of Spatial Abilities On The Creative Song...

spatial abilities are related to more left-handedness, which indicates the activeness of right hemisphere, as measured (p.352). It is also predicted that right hemisphere is in charge of 3-D mental rotation imagination process (Reio, Czarnolewski and Eliot, 2001, p.352). With better ability to perform spatial imagination, left-handers are surely good at mathematics in the geometry aspect. Being aided by the right hemisphere in creative thinking, left-handed people are also more talented in musical ability. A survey of 51 professional orchestras in Britain reported that 13% of the musicians were left-handed, slightly, but not hugely, above the national average, which is 10% (Right, Left, Right, Wrong, n.d.). Many song writers and composers are known to be left-handed such as Beethoven, Mozart, Phil Collins and Paul Simon. The strong inter-hemispheric communication is also an aspect of their creative song writing and composing. The research reported here was motivated by evidence that some musical abilities are like spatial functions in that they appear to be more dependent on the right than the left hemisphere (Milner, 1962; Kimura, 1967). Two of the most creative individuals in history have been Albert Einstein, an early slow learner who exhibited an â€Å"an unusual symmetry between the hemispheres† (Witelson, Kigar, Harvey, 1999, p. 2151), and Leonardo da Vi nci, who habitually wrote left-handed in mirror-writing. Their lateral preference could be related to their achievementShow MoreRelatedCurrent Issues and Trends in Assessment in Early Childhood Education6428 Words   |  26 PagesPresident Bush worked for legislation that would improve education for all children.
