Does Ambidexterity increase brain size if you become ambidextrous in your late teens? Also if you learn to write with both hands at the same time(different words) will that increase the size of the brain as well?
I can't seem to find that much information on the internet about being ambidextrous. I want to find a book that talks about this subject as well as the human brain, any suggestions?
I do know that Left-handed and ambidextrous people have 11% larger corpus callosa.

No, but it may let your view life through a different perspectives. Lefthanded are thought to be more creative while righthanded are thought to be more logical. I'm ambidextrous myself through training like you said. I only write lefthanded if I want to stimulate my brain just for fun. With the advent of a laptop, I think some are losing the opportunity to find out this.

No, the size of the brain I think is not affected, only that it is damaged. Martin Gardner wrote a book that I recommend called The Ambidextrous Universe.

Perhaps, or perhaps not.
In any case, brain size has nothing to do with intellect or ability. Rather, it is the number and quality of connections between neurons that seems to determine a person's intelligence.
