How do you test for right and left confusion?
Left-right disorientation: this is confusion of the right and left limbs and indicates a lesion in the dominant parietal lobe. It is tested by requests like, "Show me your left hand", "Touch your right foot" and "Touch your left ear with your right hand".
Why do I confuse between left and right?
Left-right confusion seems to happen more often when we are under stress or time pressure, so slowing down a bit is probably a good idea. Also, when you are in doubt as to which side is which, an old trick is to make an L shape with the thumb and the index finger of each hand.
What is it called when you mix up left and right?
[urbandictionary] Further explanation: Neuroscientists call this phenomenon as left-right confusion (or right-left confusion/disorientation). It is believed that there are neurophysiological explanations or it can be even related to your personality.
