left handed - right brain - left accessing

[Soren K (existing)]

I was talking to a left handed person today and noticed that his internal audio seemed to be down to the right and his visual remembered up to the right and constructed to the left. My observations may be theory laden since I read about this phenomenon recently that typically left hand people access internal data opposite to right handed people - remembered right, constructed left - plus I'm still patiently working at focusing on process over content in communication situations. However, the observations did seem consistent with the conversation we were having. This seems quite interesting and am wondering why this should be the case. Eye accessing cues originally made sense to me in terms of what you might expect from distinction between right and left brain activity. Left brain activity being correlated with language seems to fit more naturally with remembering than right brain activity, which connected with imagery and creativity seems fair enough your eyes would move to the right. I also discovered that everything on the right hand side of the body from the head down is connected to the left side of the brain and vice versa for the left hand side of the body. So I am curious as to what happens with the left handed person... is their left hemisphere the creative side and right hemisphere the language side? If not, why do left handed people typically (if this is true) access to the left to construct (create) images and sounds rather than to the right side. I know for practical purposes it doesn't really matter, but I'm curious, does anyone know anything about this?

Cheers,

The cues are for "typically wired right-handed person". Now, if you will look at pictures of Princess Diana, look at her eyes! You know what was going on in her mind at all times. I like her as an example as her eyes were large and pretty and boy oh boy did she ever do the eye accessing cues.

If you will please look at page 144 of "Magic in Action" you will see that physiology also is to be taken into consideration.

It also means as you are facing them -- VR=your right (not theirs).
Accessing K should not look like Ar. Something is wrong in there. Go back and re-ask the questions again. Most people give clean reads except for those that are "stuck".

Hi Ma,

Thanks for reply. The guy is left handed and his Ad was in K (or where it is for most right-handed people). Is this correct? Actually, you know I was watching for his accessing cues and noticed his Ad was down to his right (my left) and that led me to asking him at an appropriate stage later on to ask if he was left handed. But that is perhaps partly because I heard that left handed accessing is often right-left mirror image of that of right handed people. IF this is the case then I wondered why this might be since right brain activity is usually what we would expect to be creative (constructed material) while left brain (language - which seems more suited to remembering somehow). I gues as long as you get it right there's no problem but it was something I found interesting and thought I'd see if anyone knows anything about it.

Cheers,

Could it possibly be that brains are complex. Now when Mom was in "Transitions" which is like a nursing home attached to the hospital and a part thereof, her roommate had a stroke. The MD's said she had lost the whole left side of her brain. Duhhh, she had not lost anything. She was working perfectly on all levels.

Go into Wikipedia and read about Betty Boop. She was a cartoon character even before I was born. The eye accessing cues were available for everyone to see but not one psychologist or psychiatrist caught on. I don't know what sparked Richard's interest in Betty but the eye accessing cues were actualized and are quite reliable or perhaps Richard discovered the eye accessing cues and then found Betty. Ask him. He will talk to you if you ask an intelligent question. He is very good that way.

Some things in life "just are" and so they are reversed for a typical left-handed person which makes it our job to carefully calibrate. Now my best friend's husband was a "south paw". He would be in his early 80's now if alive. The school teachers would not accept the fact he was a south paw and made him write right handed. I would have no idea what his accessing cues could have been if not asking silly questions: What colour was your mother's hair? What colour is your new car going to be?, etc. until I KNEW what they were for him.

You might have something there, Pood.:)

I would say that's true of some brains. If you listed to talk radio and cable "news" channels you'll be amazed at how many brains lack any degree of complexity and an inability to deal with any thought that requires complexity to a level that can't appear on a bumper sticker. :eek:

Hoho! And you are correct...

Today, as I drove home, I was listening to the radio, and the voice of a beauty pageant contestant replying to a question. She was attempting to state that the wonderful education given to children in the USA, should be shared with third nation children. Sadly, her diction, and inability to be coherent, all made me decide that this wonderful system had been wasted on her, and she was correct, it should have been offered to those who would value it, and therefore absorb it.
Of course, she is not the only one is she? That which is free, is rarely valued....

last night I was watching "South Park" about a trip to Canada. Whew!!

Now I really do think it's sad when a presidential candidate in the USA states that Canada has a President. I bet you didn't know that either, did you!

Remember, the eye-accessing cues is just 'typiccal'
everyone is potentially different.
always, always calibrate for each person!

Last eve I was watching Larry King, a interview type talk show. He was interviewing a "young" man who had been sent to prison as a teen and it now seems as if he will be able to go free because of DNA evidence (maybe).

Are the cues the same on TV or are they reversed? The man being interviewed had large expressive eyes and it got me wondering. It seemed to be the same by the way certain questions were asked and the man had to visually rememer or hear what had passed previously on Death Row.

Pood :confused:
