Have there been studies about why some people need to make an L shape with their left hand to know the difference, and some just don’t?
I have friends who are highly intelligent, educated and otherwise competent humans who don’t know their right from left.
Whereas I just can ‘feel’ my left and right. It’s not a conscious decision, or at least doesn’t seem to be.
I played some competitive sport growing up (whereas aforementioned friends didn’t) and perhaps that gives you more of an instinctive connection to your body relative to your environment? Just my anecdotal musings…
