Abstract

We examined information processing types and its relationship with hemispheric differences, and student achievements. The sample consists of 283 participants from Sohag faculty of education. We used Brain program to measure the hemispheric activity difference sand establish a test to measure the information processing types using E-Prime Professional 2.0 Software. For the achievements we calculated the average of the students’ grade for the past three years. Results showed that:   
1-      There is a varied significance and relationship between information processing types and hemispheric activity.
2-      There is no specialty between information processing types and Hemispheric differences.
3-      Visual information processing was the dominant for the students using left hemisphere, or using both hemisphere equally. While auditory information processing was dominant for the students, using right hemisphere.
4-        Visual information processing was dominant for the student's achievements more than 70%.
5-      Achievements could not be predicted by preferred information processing types or by hemispheric activation.
6-      Hemispheric activity could be predicted from information processing types.
