  > discredited pseudoscience bullshit Care to substantiate? If the contention is on specifically which hemisphere of the brain is responsible for drawing ability, this is besides the point. The author even says > Since the late 1970s, I have used the terms L-mode and R-mode to try to avoid the location controversy. The terms are intended to differ- entiate the major modes of cognition, regardless of where they are located in the individual brain.

    The entire left brain/right brain premise that the book is based in is totally bogus. The author constantly refers back to this nonsense theory throughout the book (yes I have read it). What she refers to (constantly) as "R-Mode thinking" simply isn't real. The book works as a learning aide because she largely takes regular learning techniques and drills, and dresses them up with nonsense scientism. https://www.smartermarx.com/t/regarding-betty-edwards-drawing-on-the-right-side-of-the-brain/1394 https://www.smartermarx.com/t/regarding-betty-edwards-drawin...
