Abstract

Brain is the most important part of the body. Indeed, it has cerebrum as the largest part of the brain. The cerebrum itself consists of two hemispheres, left and right hemispheres. These two hemispheres differ in structure and function. The specialization of the function of the two hemispheres is called brain lateralization (O'Grady, et al, 1989 : 254). The left hemisphere has higher roles in language skills, such as in reading, writing and speech, whereas the right in musical and artistic things, in imagery, dreaming and in the perceptionof complex geometric patterns (Atkinson, 1987:47). This study is done to prove the assumption about the theory of brain lateralization and find out the abilities of the students of product-design engineering in comprehending picture story compared to those of written text. Hence, there are two tests which are conducted in this study, test I (picture story) and test II (written text). Here, test I (picture story) is considered to represent the activity of the right hemisphere, whereas test II (written text) of the left hemisphere.
