This chapter provides a review of some relevant studies that examined a case study of learning skills in relation to hand dominance in UiTM Seremban3. Almost every person in this world would do their own work such as drawing, writing, eating by using hands. 2.2 HAND DOMINANCE Hand dominance is referring to the consistency of using one hand over the other for some activities. For example, when we want to write, eat or drawing usually it will work by using either left or right hands. Some people called to the hand dominance as the "dominant hand" or use the term "preference hands." Furthermore, the use of hands by most children can be attracted by the influence of genetic factors. Handedness has been considered by some researchers …show more content…

( Wright and Hardie, 2012; Hardie and Wright, 2014) There are many important uses for hand dominance. Morgan Lawless (2012) said the dominance of the hand helped the children to learn more about how to perform good tasks involving midline crossing and bilateral integration skills. In order to develop other skills, coordination, and fine motor control, hand dominance also needs to be established. For example, when drawing a picture on a piece of paper, one hand must hold the paper while the other hand is holding pencils. The researchers are not clearly stated that individuals in different handedness groups do not present differences in their IQ scores but is also important for educational purposes (Zagorsky, 2007; Nedelec, Schwartz, Connolly, Beaver, 2012; Mears and Cochran, 2013; Ntolka & Papadatou-Pastou, …show more content…

There no denies the fact that most things in the world are designing for right-handers. Left-handers tend to be more genius or having well in IQ. (Bell, 2013; Sala & Gobet, 2017). Those who are left-handed seem to have a greater chance of those who are highly intelligent. According to Dr. Mehmet Oz (2006), people who left-handers can use both sides of their brain more often as it helps in process information coming into their brain more easily. Melissa. G (2017) writes that lefties have a more cautious, cognitive skills approach to solve the problem than righties. While righties tend to be more impulsive, lefty's peeps do take a longer time to do a task and are more

Maille completed tasks such as copying a variety of shapes such as: circle, square, overlapping squares, wavy line, triangle, diamond, star and overlapping pencils. Maille continued to show a remarkable grasp pattern by holding the pencil with a three jaw chuck while completing tasks. She also used her left hand to stabilize the paper while her right hand completed the task. Maille was rushing to complete tasks, which made it look sloppy; this was the only weakness I noticed while completing the task. Maille scored above average in fine motor

the researchers found that muscle development in the fish is asymmetric. A lefty fish has a crescent-shaped body, with the muscles on the left side muscles more developed. The body of a righty is a the opposite. They also discovered that this asymmetry affects the way different species of fish interact with the bass. A righty bass hunts and eats more lefty baitfish, while a lefty bass consumes more righty baitfish.

The author first states how east asians have higher IQs than white people. Then goes on to mention how black individuals IQs are normally lower than white peoples. I think the IQ test definitely can be flawed to ethnicity, truly based on education. But is is also unfair due to the demographics of where one comes from. The IQ test results are known to stay the same or near same throughout all your life, but as I learned earlier is that the IQ test can be thought to raise your score.

Gladwell mentions that designer Guru Weishar states that the concept of Invariant Right has to do with the functions of our brains. His reasoning for this is the left side of our brains absorbs information, whereas the right side then uses that information. Which is why it is normal for us to scan things from left to right, and still fix our eyes on the subject to the right. Underhill and Weishar make valid points for the Invariant Right theory, however I believe a reason for this could be because it is easier on individuals since no one wants to make the effort to change lanes nor bother to dodge other shoppers.

Physical Development Watson (2012) defines physical development as the process that starts in human infancy and continues into late adolescent concentrating on fine and gross motor development. Fine motor development involves more finely tuned movements such as grasping, building bricks and gross motor development involves larger movements such as walking, climbing, climbing stairs and riding bicycles. In the movie “Yours, Mine and Ours”, when analysing Ethan Beardsley who is four years old, the youngest child of Frank Beardsley; a single father of eight children, Ethan’s fine motor development such as when he was using a chalk when he and Helen North’s youngest were scribbling on Frank’s “Operation Light House” board, he grasped the chalk with ease as the chalk was big. This proves he has acquired the fine motor skill of grasping.

In the sixth grade, I took a test to see if I was left- or right-brained. To my elementary eyes, the result of that quiz would be the truth from on high—a resolute word that would define the man to come as either analytic or artistic. Unfortunately, the oracle I sought gave me a perplexing answer. Much to my disbelief, my tallied score yielded a perfect split down the middle. Was I mentally ambidextrous or mentally challenged?

Practitioner observes a specific child, and the outcome of the observation will enable practitioners to plan for that child. A practitioner may observe a child in the mark- making or writing area and notice that the child finds it difficult to hold a pencil. The practitioner would then plan activities that would develop fine motor skills, such as threading or sorting small objects.

The G factor is a good indication of school performance Disadvantages/weakness of Charles Spearman’s theory: 1. The backlash and criticism regarding how the G factor only measures General Intelligence 2. The G factor doesn’t take into account other various activities such as motor abilities, perception and musical abilities. HOWARD GARDNER: MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE Multiple Intelligence: Howard Gardner (1943-current) originally identified and stated that there are 7 (later 9) specific types of intelligence. Gardner argued that students across a broad scale would retain information better if the information was displayed in a number of ways, due to the fact that an individual’s cognitive ability varies in the different types of multiple
