Describe the development of relative right-left orientation, including factors that both accelerate and inhibit this learning

What will be an ideal response?


It is the ability to distinguish between one's own left and right sides and then to be able to distinguish between another's left and right sides. Children younger than 8 can typically identify their own, but not another's. This learning correlates with the learning of math concepts and problem-solving strategies. It may also be correlated with Piaget's conservation task. Blind children do not develop this ability as quickly as do sighted children, so visual ability plays a role. There are also gender differences.
