Jog Your Right Brain: An Exercise for the Classroom and For Research

Abstract

Through the projective differential procedure, participants’ attention is directed to some of the ways in which the activity of their so-called “right-brains” enters into consciousness. Gaining an awareness of these processes is a new and valuable experience for many persons. The session consists of a tour through nonverbal reactions to a small set of topics which usually includes an important, real-life, project having relevance for each participant. The information generated often provides fresh insights into the topics themselves, as well as new appreciations of personal reactions and orientations towards them.
