Inside Fahmeena Odetta's Head

Blog by Fahmeena Odetta Moore. I trust in Almighty God ("But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.")

New Word

I decided to use the blog to learn 2 new words each week. Everyone wants to build vocabulary!

The word for today (first word of the week) is:

The word for today (first word of the week) is: mixed-handedness, which is related to the word ambidextrous.
I discovered today that ambidextrous means EQUAL use of the hands or ability to use the left hand and right hand equally well, which is not the same as the use of different hands for different tasks, which is mixed-handedness.
So there are people who are right-handed, left-handed (lefties), mixed-handed, and ambidextrous.

It is unclear why mixed-handed people choose one hand over the other for tasks. Maybe it is because of habit or training.

The definition of ambidextrous from Cambridge Dictionary: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/ambidextrous

And here is an interesting article on handedness:

Is handedness determined by genetics?

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
