Have you had trouble distinguishing right from left ? For example, during a lesson about driving instructor tells you "left", and you cheerfully turn right. Distinguish both directions is a complex neuro-psychological process that involves several neurological functions such as the ability to integrate sensory and visual information , language and memory. For some of us it is second nature, but for others it represents a significant challenge. In addition, proper differentiation of directions include visual-spatial function of rotation of images in mind.

In the new study was investigated the influence of so scattering effect whereby external stimuli distract from distinguishing directions and lead to error. During the tests were studied the reactions of 234 medical students and their ability to distinguish right from left. During testing, students were subjected to all sorts of distracting effects such as noises and sudden issues of medicine. It turned out that the effect of distracting effect has impacted heavily on the ability to distinguish directions and it has worsened.

I honestly have never had an issue with this, but the research behind it for people that do is quite interesting.

It is my issue. Therefore I use West and East when I must deal with left and right.
