As the title implies im wondering if these two thinking processes had any 'brainedness' in common.
The reason I ask this question is that I'm a horrible speller, and have never been good at math. Any/all abstract math gives me serious issues, but I can apply equations fine when I can put them in context like in chem/physics. I cant spell worth a lick, but I tested extremely high in verbal standardized college admissions tests. What I'm trying to point out is I have very specific deficiencies that dont span an entire broad academic category like verbal or math/science....
So I've come to the completely unscientific opinion that spelling and math are indeed localized to one region of my brain, and that region stroked out when my mom drank one too many gin and tonics in 1st trimester. Any neuro/psych people going to put me in my place, or validate my brilliant conclusion?
It aggrivates me that certain aspects of learning seem so genetically (or polygeneticly) predisposed. I can't imagine how frusterating it must be for people who have more serious learning disabilities and are unable to realize their full intellectual potential.
