CROSS DOMINANCE part 1
most of people know what is right hand people who are using right hand in almost everything in their daily life routine. and the minority lefthandeness who struggle using tools that made for the common right hand user.
But what if you going back and forth doing your daily task with one hand and another task used diferent hand?
and what determine if someone is either right hand of left hand dominance. does by which hand they used to write? or which hand you used to play certain sport?
and me. ve been struggling to determine which hand is dominant. is it my right hand that i used to write of the left hand that work in other chores like cookking, brushing teeth, and even the one block punch the best in taekwondo class.
recenty i search to know either other people have this "thing" or it just me being weird alone.
and that when i found this. CROSS DOMINANCE.
it blew my mind. after all this years i thought that. im the only one had this. but turn out to be no.
i even think that my handeness is coise by my childhood. i used to start writting using left hand. then because of some reason that i prefer not to mention here. i change to write with my right hand.
so im not right hand dominance or lefthandeness. im cross dominance.
so let me borrow some info that i get with you.
What is cross dominance?
Cross dominance is when your eye, foot or hand dominance does not match up. For example, having left eye dominance with the right hand dominance.
The dominant part would be the one that they prefer to write with, hit with, kick with, turn their head toward to hear with, or look through a telescope with. A completely organized child will have a dominant hand, foot, ear and eye on the same side. If there is not complete dominance, it shows a degree of neurological disorganization. This mixed dominance can be related to learning disabilities. ( i dont know why but this sadden me. lol)
If the child does not have a controlling side of the brain, it lacks organization because the information going to the brain is not occurring correctly.
For example, they may see something in the right eye and store it in the left hemisphere, so there is not a firm pathway into the brain. They will not be able to process the information. Think of it as a room full of filing cabinets, if it is organized well in alphabetical order you can find what you are looking for. In a disorganized room of cabinets that are not alphabetized, the files are there, but you will have a hard time finding it. You may see this when studying for a test.
They may know it the night before when studying, but by the next day it is all lost in the filing cabinets, unable to be retrieved. They can’t take in information, assimilate it, and process it. They can’t bring it out again because they were not able to make firm pathways in the brain when they took in the information.
( this always happen to me. while i dont know what happen and conclude that im just plain stupid.)
Problems regarding mixed dominance
Problems with cross dominance could include confusing b and d, saw and was, difficulty with close work or squinting eyes.
This could cause problems with reading because a message from the right side of the body goes to the left side of the brain and vice versa.
So if you have information coming from a dominant right eye (reading the black board) and dominant left ear (listening to the teacher) the information will be going to opposite sides of the brain. The brain has to work hard to get the two messages together and may mix up b and d, or other errors.
Symptoms caused by cross dominance
A study from 2010 showed that mixed dominance people were more likely to have language, scholastic and ADHD symptoms. Cross dominance can explain many learning behaviors such as:
+A tendency to misplace objects
+A tendency to rotate papers strangely +when writing
+A tendency to tip their head 40 degrees when writing
+Difficulty with left and right side of letters
+Difficulty making decisions
+Poor handwriting
+Difficulty with Organization
+Difficulty with gross and fine motor movements
+Difficulties performing task that cross the body midline.
Optometrists and Occupational Therapists believe that for the brain to work efficiently, it must have dominance. If a brain has cross dominance it will have difficulty organizing information, and auditory or visual learning will be difficult.
well apparently. it not just my hand that had cross dominance. it my whole system. 😯😯
