Vecchio, Rick. "On Their Own Time: In Peru
The southpaw's secret semantics is an article written by Shannon Brownlee. This article tells about how come experts claim that left-handers conceive language is a very different way than right-handers. Many scientists argue over whether language is the result of environment or genes. Other scientists believe that children learn language by hearing language continuously and they absorb the meaning of words and their infinite uses. The article then goes on to say that researchers have long known there are vast differences between left and right handed people. For right hander’s, the left side of the brain is dominant and for left hander’s the right side of the brain is dominant. Whatever happens to during the brain development to produce left-handedness also makes an uncommon mix of mental assists and deficits. Evidence shown in this article is what makes scientists believe that genes for handedness is possibly linked to the brain's organization of language, and that psychologists hope to one day be able to use PET scans to prove or disprove this theory. Understanding different cognitive styles may help pin down the roles nature and nature play in the ability that defines us human language.
Actually, when I showed the example citation on the board (the one with the author named Vecchio), it was a citation to a different article, not meant for you to imitate exactly, just to be a model for you to go by.
