Thanks to Lauren, who tipped me off that this discussion was going on! I don't know if my experiences...................I'm convinced, although I've not seen research to back this hunch up, that using the hands for fine-motor work develops brain structures that affect more abstract learning --spatial thinking in particular, although I suspect itâs much broader. I suggest you read âDrawing on the right side of the brainâ Betty Edwards ISBN 0-87477-424-1. Do not use the earlier edition and if there is a more recent one use that, and do not miss the preface, in particular the section about âCorporate Training Seminarsâ. This is an absolutely fascinating book. Regarding Maureenâs so called inability in maths. I have known her for years and she has no problems with spatial thinking, she is probably one of those who slipped through the maths teaching net. and Maureen,donât think you can use that excuse next time you give me a knotty problem.
