Might some of us, more than others, harbor Neanderthal - derived gene variants that may bias our brains toward trading sociability for visuospatial prowess — or vice versa?

The right hemisphere dominates visuospatial processing, leading to a preference for the left side of space to dominate attention — perhaps explaining why we naturally think of the «first» numbers there as we count.

In most of us, the left hemisphere is specialized for most aspects of language, whereas the right hemisphere is specialized for most visuospatial skills.

The results also revealed that high - SES rural and urban children show near - identical verbal and visuospatial working memory.

According to Holmes the Tetris effect occurs because the visuospatial work required to play the game places an additional burden on the perceptual systems within the brain and so interfere with this memory - forming process.

The tests evaluated multiple modes of cognition, including verbal learning and memory and visuospatial working memory / processing speed.

The 28 men and 45 women also took part in a standardized test, which is typically used to measure different patterns of brain function in older adults, focusing on attention, memory, fluency, language and visuospatial ability.

They also took part in tests to determine their visuospatial ability which included copying a complex design and drawing a clock face from memory.

They found no structural differences, but recorded unusual patterns of activity in areas linked to memory and visuospatial processing.

«It's been proposed that Neanderthals depended on visual - spatial abilities and toolmaking, for survival, more so than on the social affiliation and group activities that typify the success of modern humans — and that Neanderthal brains evolved to preferentially support these visuospatial functions,» Berman explained.
