摘要：Due to the specific functionality of each of the brain's hemispheres, historically many educators and researchers have been quick to identify students or employees as having a right or left brain hemispheric preference. This is important, they believed, in order to create learning and work environments that utilize the strengths of each preference. More recently, researchers have argued that this dichotomy does not exist; the actions of humans rely on the coordinated functionality of both hemispheres. In an effort to support their contention, this study investigated the attrition rate of 152 students in a limited-residency information systems doctoral program. Students were administered a measure of brain hemishperic preference within the first two years of the program; they were then tracked for up to eight additional years until they left the program via attrition or graduation. The results of a logistic regression support the theory that a given hemispheric preference does not predict a student's choice of graduate degree program or success therein
