how can we distinguish left from right?

our brains know because we learned that which way is left and which way is right. Soon your brain knows right away. Like you are learning a hard math problem and you still need help with it. But if you keep on doing it your brain will get used to it and know right away.

What I learned is that the right is receiving and the left is giving out. Its not so important except in circle when holding hands. You want the energy in the circle to flow correctly so we all keep the left hand down sending to your "Neighbor" and the right hand up recieving from your other "neighbor".

As I was taught (and don't quite believe entirely) is that left handed people tend to use more of their right hemisphere than right handed people.  The right brain is supposedly the more "creative" brain rather than the left sided "logical" hemisphere.  Studies do show that left handed people tend to use both hemispheres for communication rather than a dominated left hemispheres.  There is actually an increase of left handers in the "creative" occupations like painting and music.

The phenomenon of left appearing right and right appearing left on reflection in a plane mirror is called lateral inversion.

Creativity is on the right side of the brain. Right-handed people use the left side of the brain, and left-handed people use the right side. If you don't believe that, I'm left-handed and I am very creative.

I am right handed so I remember it as OD d=dominant.  OS s=sucky (handwriting)  and OU, the U has two points at the top of the letter. Just a dumb little trick that got me through nursing school.  If you're left handed, eh, well, sorry!

I was once told if you are left handed you use the right side of your brain and if you are right handed you use the left side.  So, I guess it would depend.

left or right?  left, definitely.  right, i may have to ponder that for a while.  unless you're talking toes, then either one can go.

it's not reversed.  take your hand and press it up to the mirror.  see how your fingers line up exactly with the fingers in the mirror?  take both hands and press them up to the mirror.  now your right hand lines up with the mirror hand that is on your right, and your left hand lines up with the mirror hand that is on your left.\n\nall kosher, right?  nothing's reversed.\n\nthe point is that "right" and "left" are relative directions and mean different things depending on whether you are looking at someone from the front or the back.

My dad is an ex-detective. One of the ways he thought was the most valuable (and viable) was by watching the eyes. If a right-handed person looks to your left they are accessing the part of their brain that would make something up versus remembering something that actually happened (this would be reversed for a left-handed person). Obviously, this would work better in a longer lie situation and by someone who isn't familiar with hiding those type of cues. People who lie also tend to answer quicker, have inappropriate facial expressions in correlation with their response, and touch their face/body more. \n\nHope that helps :)

Hi,\n\nThis simply some userinterface ideology.\n\nIF your right handed it is theoretically correct to make the pointer to the left.\n\nIt is because when you right with a pencil, and your using your right hand... Notice the direction of the pencil is pointing.. Yes to the left.\n\nIf your left handed and wishing to change the pointer, you need to goto START/CONTROL PANEL/Mouse\n\nIn that setting, you can indicate that your left handed.\nThe pointer will change

You're right. Left is sometimes used in politics for example. Right and wrong are antonyms - Your question is good, I think we'll get a better answer, more specific with some references...there are some pretty smart people out here, Right?
