| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Toronto | | City: | Toronto, ON | | School: | Giles School, The | | Abstract: | The project's purpose was to determine cerebral dominance in children and its correlation with gender. After finding that children are right-hemisphere dominant, adolescents were tested to prove the theory that hemispheric dominance is acquired during maturation. The findings, applied to our educational system, can improve the way children are taught. |
