Mind Hemispheres — Left Brain, Right Brain & Their Roles

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres — Left and Right. Each hemisphere tends to dominate (or specialize) in certain cognitive functions. In the DMIT framework, this is linked to how a person thinks, learns, processes information, solves problems, and expresses themselves.

Left vs Right Brain — Overview

  • Left Hemisphere (“Left Mind”)
     • Analytical thinking
     • Logical, sequential processing
     • Language, reading, writing
     • Number / mathematical skills
     • Fact-based reasoning

  • Right Hemisphere (“Right Mind”)
     • Holistic / intuitive thinking
     • Spatial, visual, pattern recognition
     • Imagination, creativity
     • Art, music, metaphors
     • Big picture & abstract thinking

Left Brain / Mind

1. Logical Reasoning / Deduction
2. Language & Verbal Expression
3. Sequential / Step-by-Step Processing
4. Numerical / Quantitative Skills
5. Analytical / Detail Focus

Right Brain / Mind

1. Visual-Spatial / Imagery
2. Creativity & Intuition
3. Holistic / Big-Picture Thinking
