    As a lefty, I found it strange to use left-handed items. I was so used to adapting to the right-handed stuff that left-handed desks, and scissors just didn't feel right. Anyone else have similar experiences?

      I got used to using right handed scissors, and now whenever I try to cut with my left hand and I find it feels very odd to me. Also I am not used to using the mouse with my left hand, I have grown used to using it with my right hand. But writing is still very much still left handed writing.

      I didn't even realize there was such a thing as left-handed things. I want to go look for some now just to see since I've never noticed when using everything, which I'm assuming is all right-handed.

    Funny, I do half of things with my left (eat and write), but everything else with my right side (hit, kick, catch/throw a ball, use a mouse or tool). Even in sports like baseball I do "right handed". If I had to, i.e. if I broke my left hand, I can also write legibly. Eating with my right hand is awkward, however. I have always wondered if this is a left handed trait or are there right handed people who are like this but reversed. I don't know if I would call myself ambidextrous bc I do have a preference.

      My mother told me that I was only barely classified as right-handed instead of left-handed. Today I do most tings with my right hand except for playing floorball. After a workout with both arms and hands my left hand is always the stronger one. If I had to ride a bike one-handed, I would be an ace with my left, but a loser with my right.

      I use to be left-handed, for years! my early memories are of me eating and throwing with my left, due to religious reason I used my left for some things and my right almost all the time actually and it wasn't until I tried to throw with my left one day that I realized something felt terribly painful about it. I'm not sure if this is a side effect of it but, my left is always faster, reacts quicker, and when I fight always seems to defend or block whether its a punch or an object being thrown. but my right has always been stronger. I thought that this was due to me having a poor grip on my right but one day ill go see a trainer or a doctor to see what's up. weird that my left is faster, better endurance, has better grip. my right is stronger feels more stable. I can write with both but my left is better with cursive and my right is better with standard.

      I got you here.He first said most of the lefties use left side to process language 70% of the time.Meaning 30% of the time lefties use right side to do that.
      Then,19% of lefties use right side to process language.I guess he meant only or mostly using right side.However,I am sure they should not be using left side to process language 70% of the time because at 2:22 , you can see he used the pictures to differentiate the location(s) of Broca's Area(2:05) and also clarify his points.Therefore,you need to listen and watch to fully know what he is saying.
      Finally,20% of lefties use both sides to process language.Probably again, doesn't have to do with the first point he made in this video.I think here it means 20% of the lefties use right side and left side spontaneously to process language.Dunno if they can use only one side to process language or how frequently they use both sides to process language.🤔🤓

    • @besmart
      @besmart  10 лет назад +33

      Not necessarily. Remember that the genetic theory doesn't say that the lack of a "right shift" mutation doesn't automatically make you left handed, it just puts it up to a "coin flip". So the genetic answer still makes sense. These are things that we have to look at in populations, not just in families!

      Shangori Do all ambidextrous people have preferences? I've never been able to figure out what to tell people about my handedness. I was taught to write right handed, so I write with my right hand today. I prefer to use my left hand when given a choice, and I do many things better with my left (pretty much anything not writing or designed for right handed use). I sometime jokingly refer to myself as a "well adjusted lefty" since I have almost none of the issues most lefties have (pencil marks on their hands, hard time finding scissors, etc).

    I'm weird because I'm apparently something called "cross-dominant." I write and eat with my left hand (I also instinctually put jewelry on my right hand as most left-handers do), but play I sports and carry things with my right hand, and in general my left side is weaker with better fine motor skills, while my right side is stronger and has more precise gross motor skills.

  • @heatherqualy9143
    @heatherqualy9143 4 года назад +13

    Supposedly, I’m “cross handed”. I naturally do most skills with my left hand, but with sports and in a couple other areas, I naturally use my right. When trying a new skill, I simply try both ways and see which “handed” I am for that particular skill. Though, since most of us lefties have had to adapt so often, there are things that I naturally WOULD have done left, but they are easier in life if you do it right handed (drums, guitar, sign language), so I adapted. It takes me a little longer initially to develop the skill, but now, I could NEVER play a left-handed guitar, or flip my drum kit around. Oh, and no other lefties in our family for generations. Just me. 😊

    Wait what? I was taught in biology that left-handeness was based on chromosomes. That because it is reccessive, only a person who is homozygous recessive for the gene (i.e. received a left-handed chromosome from each parent) would show the trait, hence why it is more rare. Is this wrong? If so, why is this the general consensus in schools? Has everything I've been taught been a lie? :(

    Most people are right-handed.....I feel like part of it could be centuries of human culture just preferring right handedness. I spent part of my childhood in China where, just decades ago, left-handed kids were disciplined (often with harsh physical methods like slapping) into using their right hands more often, because apparently left handedness means you are uncultured or something. My grandpa was left-handed as a child, but was forced by his mother to become right handed. It only succeeded partially and he became ambidextrous. And of course, you can see that in Western countries too back in the day, with the words mentioned by this video as the most significant relic left by those times.

    Fun fact: Birds are one of the few animals (besides humans) who display a marked preference in handedness. Over 95% of all birds in the word are left-handed; or I suppose you could say "left-footed" since we're talking about their talons and not wings. Go up to a tame bird and get it to step up on your finger, and it'll almost always use its left foot to do so.
