Abstract
The study explored various functions of the brain or hemisphere lateralization and it relevance to learning style and education namely how it relates to other style constructs (visual, Aural, verbal, physical, logical, social and solitary), gender and department stream how these are likely to impact upon learning in educational setting. Generally learning style can be described as a set of factors, behaviors, and attitudes that facilitate learning for an individual in a given situation. Students learn differently from each other and it has been determined that brain structure influences language structure acquisition. It has also been shown that different hemispheres of the brain contain different perception. The implications of these finding for the assessment of brain lateralization and their learning style preferences are discussed.

The study explored various functions of the brain or hemisphere lateralization and it relevance to learning style and education namely how it relates to other style constructs, gender and department stream how these are likely to impact upon learning in educational setting
It is concluded that there is no significant difference between gender and visual learning style (F=.930; p>0.05)
Summary
It has been shown that different hemispheres of the brain contain different perception The implications of these finding for the assessment of brain lateralization and their learning style preferences are discussed. It is difficult or unethical to directly study the nervous system during a behavior and indirect methods must be used instead. One example of such an indirect method is using a subject’s preferred hand to predict which of the two Cerebral Hemispheres is dominant. One of the best known differences between the two structures is motor control; the right hemisphere controls the left half of the body and the left hemisphere controls the right half of the body. These motor control differences were discovered mainly through the examination of paralysis caused by stokes or other damage to a specific hemisphere
