Confusing right and left

At some point in time, each of us probably confused right side to the left, even though we know where that is. And some people do it almost constantly. In 1978, the researchers surveyed 364 university students, who have not observed any neurological problems. It turned out that the confusion with the "left-right" was common, especially in women. So why is this happening? There is some relationship between the degree of lateralization, ie, specialization of brain function, such as right-handedness and left-handedness, and confusion. For example, confusion "left-right" may be related to spatial reasoning. This may explain why the phenomenon is more prevalent in women as they usually perform worse tests spatial thinking, such as, for example, mentally scroll the image to identify whether it matches or is mirrored. There is also a theory that the asymmetry of one of the hemispheres of the brain also plays a role. In 2009, British scientists found that those with hearing was shifted more towards one ear - a sign of the asymmetry, often confused left and right. Still, a certain response that plays a big role in this confusion, yet. See also: right-handed and left-handedness seriously affect the outlook and behavior. Women are more likely to be right-handed than men. Blanket with sleeves for reading in bed.
