Abstract

The study attempted to reveal the nature of brain hemisphere dominance and self –efficacy relationship with memory operations and meta-memory components. It also aimed to detect the effect of the interaction between the type of brain hemisphere dominance and the level of self- efficacy on the performance of memory operations and its meta-memory components. The study sample consisted of (288) students enrolled on the Faculty of Education, King Saud University. Four instruments were applied after checking for accuracy and stability. The instruments were Edinburgh scale of the preferred hand, Self –Efficacy scale, Memory operations scale, and meta-memory scale. The results revealed positive significant correlation between brain hemisphere dominance with memory operations and meta-memory components. No statistical effect was found for brain hemisphere and self-efficacy on memory operations and meta-Components. There were differences between the four study groups in favor of high self –efficacy with right hemisphere pattern in the memory processes and its meta-memory components. The work recommends that memory operations and meta-memory development educational programs should be developed for students. Key Words: Brain Hemisphere halves, Brain activities, Favorite hand.
