241443 - The book reviewed today on "The Hand" points out that using both hands
241444 - strengthens mental capacity through synergy from interaction between
241445 - hands and mind, relative to reliance on sight and sound alone.
241446 - Writing improves memory because of added cognitive strength.  An
241447 - example is inability to recall a telephone number to speak it, yet
241448 - when the hands are placed on the telephone keypad, the mind directs
241449 - the hands to press the correct numbers, which have been pressed many
241450 - times previously.  Having pressed the keys, the number can then be
241451 - recalled to readily speak it.

241454 - Human biology comprised of left and right brain capacity presents
241455 - potential to improve productivity by applying more brain power through

241503 - Communication Metrics maintains that it is easier to create good
241504 - intelligence by using both hands on the keyboard because it draws on a
241505 - larger share of the brain's mental capacity, i.e., it brings more
241506 - cognitive "muscle" to bear on mental analysis.  The point is made less
