ambidextrous?- use both hands equally?

Question

how can you become ambidextrous???

Answer 1

Try, try, try and try some more(if one is so inclined). Beats me why one would do so. Oh well. Lame answer - others have 'chimed in' already - why 'bust' repetition?

ON THE OTHER HAND(PUN NOT INTENDED):

It comes in 'handy'(there I go again), if one were to lose the use of an arm, hand, or have some illness that would precipitate TRYING to use the other hand(arm). I would venture that quite a high % of persons in this sad predicament 'try,try,and try some more, but are only reasonably successful. I've personally tried 5-pin(Canadian) bowling left-handed for the fun of it often(I'm a very high average bowler) and I can't manipulate the ball even close to even average for a 5-pinner. I've also tried to throw different types of ball(baseball, football) and the success is pitiful. I'm definitely completely right-handed through and through. I believe most people would find it extremely difficult to do.

I only know of one person who accomplished at least complete ambidextrousness with writing with both hands(due to a broken right hand) and it was, of all people, my first wife- at a young age, however. She writes(she just turned 60) right-handed with the natural 'slant' to the right, and left-handed with the natual 'slant' to the left and quite well both ways- interesting!!

Answer 2

Although ambidexterity is rare at birth, it can be learned. The key in learning is to start paying attention to minor tasks and performing them with one's opposite hand daily. While difficult at first, minor tasks like brushing teeth, opening doors, and eating will become steadily easier if a person keeps at it. Learning to write or throw with both hands is far harder, but with patience and practice, it is feasible for anybody to become proficient with both hands.

Most ambidextrous people still gravitate towards performing certain types of tasks with a specific hand. The degree of versatility with each hand is generally the qualitative factor in determining a person's ambidexterity. Each side of the brain controls the opposite side of our bodies. Some people have been known to hesitate upon the decision the brain makes while attempting to use either right or left side, most likely the motor controlled side that would benefit most.

In modern times, it is more common to find people considered ambidextrous who were originally left handed, and learned to be ambidextrous either deliberately or during childhood in institutions such as schools where right-handed habits are often emphasized. Also, since many everyday devices are designed to be only ergonomic for right handed people, many left handed people have no choice but to use the device with the right hand (a good example is a can opener). As a result, left handed people are much more likely to develop motor skills in their non-dominant hand than right handed people (who are not subjected to left-favouring devices). Ambidexterity is often encouraged in activities requiring a great deal of skill in both hands, such as juggling, swimming, percussion or keyboard music, word processing, surgery, and combat.

Answer 3

on condition that the type you skate, snowboard or surf has no longer something to whith what hand or palms you write with. often times the type you experience in one sport is truthfully no longer an identical by using fact the others. I skate widespread, yet won't be in a position to do lots turn on a skateboard. I discovered to to snowboard goofy, and do maximum of my park driving that way, yet for purely freeriding, I experience widespread. i will experience change in the two case. I surf widespread.

Answer 4

I was naturally left-handed, but back in the early 60s when I started school they did not allow you to be left-handed. So I had to learn to do everything right-handed. Now I can do just about everything equally as badly right or left-handedly.

Answer 5

Practice, and to my knowledge it is far more common in natural lefties, as they are/were often forced to use their right hands to fit in.

either way work at it and be patient, I forget if it was Pres. Wilson or Pres. Coolidge (I just recall he had the double initial) who was able to write in Greek with one hand and Latin with the other at the same time

Answer 6

I don't know, but I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous.

Answer 7

start practice writing letters one at a time with the other hand and progress.....kinda like learning to write all over again

Answer 8

Practice, practice, practice.

Answer 9

practice.

Answer 10
