Lesson 5: The Power of the Mind - The Whole Brain Theory Flashcards
who conducted a study on language and left-brain specialization
Paul Broca (1861)
what were broca’s findings?
some language functions reside on the left side of the brain
who conducted a study on epilepsy
Dr. Roger Sperry
what did Dr. Roger Sperry get
1981 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine
what were Dr. Sperry’s findings?
the brain has two hemispheres (left and right)
the hemisphere of the brain that performs tasks that were intuitive, creative, and synthesizing
left hemisphere
the hemisphere that was more adept with analytical, logical, reasoning, and critical thinking
right hemisphere
Dr. Sperry’s theory was known as the
Split-Brain Theory (Split Brain Experiments)
a theory that explained that the brain has two hemispheres that perform tasks differently from each other
Split-Brain Theory (Split Brain Experiments)
creator of split-brain theory
Dr. Roger Sperry
a neuroscientist that came up with a theory that identified three distinct parts of the brain
Dr. Paul Maclean
a theory that identified three distinct parts of the brain
The Triune Brain Theory
the three distinct parts of the brain according to the triune brain theory
neocortex, limbic system, reptilian complex
creator of The Triune Brain Theory
Dr. Paul Maclean
part that is responsible for intellectual tasks such as language, planning, abstraction, and perception (triune brain theory)
neocortex
the neocortex is also known as the
rational brain
part that is responsible for the motivation and emotion involved in feeding, reproductive behavior, and parental behavior (triune brain theory)
limbic system
the limbic system is also known as the
intermediate brain
part that controls the self-preservation and aggressive behavior of humans similar to the survival instincts of animals (triune brain theory)
reptilian complex
the reptilian complex is known as the
primitive brain
an engineer at General Electric who was tasked to determine why some individuals were more creative than others
Ned Herrmann
after drawing from the studies of Sperry, Herrmann came up with his own theory called
Brain Dominance Theory
creator of brain dominance theory
Ned Herrmann
a theory derived from observations and tests that the human body, although symmetrical and paired in almost all aspects, do not necessarily function equally
brain dominance theory
Herrmann is regarded as the
father of brain dominance technology
how many quadrants are there according to herrmann
four quadrants
what are the quadrants in the brain dominance theory
upper left - cerebral mode; lower left - limbic mode; lower right - limbic mode; upper right - limbic system
keyword for upper left (A) quadrant - cerebral mode
analytical
keyword for lower left (B) quadrant - limbic mode
organized
keyword for lower right (C) quadrant - limbic mode
interpersonal
keyword for lower right (D) quadrant - limbic system
imaginative
quadrant A and B in the brain dominance theory are known as the
left side of the brain
quadrant C and D in the brain dominance theory are known as the
right side of the brain
HBDI stands for
herrmann brain dominance instrument
a 120-question survey instrument that measured the preference strengths of the four quadrants.
herrmann brain dominance instrument
quadrant A is for
analytical thinking
quadrant B is for
sequential thinking
quadrant C is for
interpersonal thinking
quadrant D is for
imaginative thinking
are very much into logical thinking
quadrant A learners
They enjoy analyzing information and understand better when presented with numbers and quantities
quadrant A learners
they are also good at theorizing or concluding based on facts and information that support their theories.
quadrant A learners
expect exact information that are straight to the point, and they would also want to be fed with lots of theories, numbers, data, logical expla- nations, and results of research studies.
quadrant A learners
they will find it difficult to express their inner thoughts and emotions, and may struggle with unclear or undefined concepts or ideas.
quadrant A learners
easily grasp things in sequence, enjoy organizing ideas and things, assess situations and information, and apply what they have learned into practice.
quadrant B learners
learners will always demand for clear instructions or directions, and would rather apply what they have learned in practical situations rather than just theories.
quadrant B learners
quadrant B learners are also known as
sequential learners
They may find it difficult to understand concepts without any examples to show how these are applied. Their big challenges are in taking risks and doing things that are not clearly defined to them.
quadrant B learners
quadrant A and B learners are often characterized as
practical, reality-based, and down-to-earth persons
are very sociable learners who enjoy learning with a group with whom they share ideas and projects.
quadrant C learners
They are very focused and involved when trying to learn some- thing.
quadrant C learners
They also tend to reflect on what they have understood and acquired in terms of knowledge, and most of the time use their bodies and movement while learning.
quadrant C learners
They get bored with data and intellectual discussions without activities and participation. They are also emotional and would share their emotions with a group.
quadrant C learners
Personal feedback is therefore important to them.
quadrant C learners
are the curious ones who enjoy dis- covering, experimenting, and exploring activities.
quadrant D learners
they are strong thinkers when it comes to conceptualizing and putting all the seemingly unrelated parts and connecting these parts together, synthesizing, and in creating new ideas and concepts
quadrant D learners
enjoys games and surprises, is a visual learner, and needs different varieties of approaches to learning.
quadrant D learners
quadrant D learners have
difficulty meeting deadlines and rigid environments
quadrant C and D learners are often characterized as
fun, flexible, and open-minded persons
a british psychology author and consultant who also developed the technique in creating such map, popularized the use of the phrase “mind map”
tony buzan
diagram used to represent ideas or information branching from a central key word or idea and used as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision-making, and writing.
mind map
useful visual tools that help in linking together concepts and information in such a way that the inter- connection and interrelation of these are clearly laid out and easily accessible to help in problem solving and for reference and review
mind maps
useful during brainstorming sessions, making decisions, organizing information, simplifying complex ideas, note-taking, and even for personal use
mind maps
five essential characteristics of mind mapping
center image; main branches; branches; twigs; nodal structure
represents the main idea, subject, or focus
center image
radiate from the central image
main branches
comprises of a key image or word drawn or printed on its line
branches
represent the lesser topics
twigs
the branches in mind maps form a
connected nodal structure
steps in creating basic mind maps
title in the center of page; draw lines and label major subjects; draw additional lines; draw lines for individual facts/ideas; as you come across new information, link it to my mind map appropriately
tips to use mind maps effectively
use single words/phrases; print words; use color to separate different ideas; use symbols & images; use cross-linkages
Many words in normal writing are padding, as they ensure that facts are conveyed in the correct context, and in a format that is pleasant to read. In mind maps, single, strong words, and short meaningful phrases can convey the same meaning more potently. Excess words just clutter the mind map.
use single words/phrases
Joined up or indistinct writing is more difficult to read.
print words
this will help you to separate ideas where necessary. It also helps you to visualize the mind map for recall.
use color to separate different ideas
can help to show the organization of the subject
color
Pictures can help you to remember information more effectively than words, so if a symbol or picture means something to you, use it. (You can use photo libraries like iStockPhoto to source images inexpensively.)
use symbols or images
Information in one part of a mind map may relate to another part. Here, you can draw lines to show the ______________.
use cross-linkages
This helps you to see how one part of the subject affects another.
cross-linkages
center of the nervous system. It centralized the control of
all organ systems.
human brain
he concluded that
the brain is responsible for mental functioning
thomas willis
the largest of the three brain sections for about 85 % of the brain’s
weight and has four lobes. It is responsible for most thinking and learning.
Functions for sensing, integrating and action.
cerebrum
four lobes of cerebrum
parietal, frontal, occipital, temporal LOBE
helps people understand
what they see and feel.
parietal lobe
determines personality
and emotions.
frontal lobe
function for visual
processes
occipital lobe
responsible for hearing
and word recognition.
temporal lobe
this region controls voluntary movement
cerebellum
It is located just
below the rear part of the cerebrum and right behind the brain stem.
cerebellum
It is
highly organized brain structure, coordinates movements and stores the
memory of automatic movements.
cerebellum
It involved in mental rehearsal of motor
tasks and improved your performance and skills.
cerebellum
are the basic functional units of the nervous system. They are comprised
of a nerve.
neurons
contains the nucleus that manufactures molecules that neurons need to
survive and function.
cell body
responsible for receiving signals from the dendrites and transmitting
them to other neurons in the brain or in other organs.
axon
responsible for receiving messages from other nerve cells, which
looks like branches at the end of nerve cells.
dendrite
Neurons are formed through a process called
neurogenesis
The signal jumps from
the end of the dendrite on one cell across the space to the dendrite of another cells
is called
synapses
The signal jumps from
the end of the dendrite on one cell across the space to the dendrite of another cells
is called synapses with the help of this chemicals called
neurotransmitteres
examples of neurotransmitters
dopamine and endorphins
neurotransmitter for attention, memory and cognition
dopamine
neutransmitter for endorphins
to fight stress and pains
connects the spinal cord and the brain
brain stem
It controls functions that
keep people alive such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and food
digestion.
brain stem
what is in the brain stem
reticular activating system and limbic system
located in brain stem, responsible for your brain’s
alertness.
reticular activating system
- located above the brain stem and below the cerebrum, composed of
structures that have different functions such as generation of emotion and
processing of emotional memories.
limbic system
involved in many cognitive activities, including memory.
thalamus
it moderates different body functions which include sleep,
feelings, body temperature, food intake by controlling the release of some
hormones.
hypothalamus
it consolidates learning and converts information to the
long-term storage regions.
hippocampus
take part in emotions especially fear and regulating your
interactions with your environment that can help you survive such as whether
you attack, escape, mate or eat, emotional element of memory is stored.

thinking
requires logic and coherence as we try to analyze, synthesize,
evaluate, and interpret information rather than simply apply technical abilities.
critical thinking
- it refers to the awareness and knowledge about one’s own thought
process and the ability to use the knowledge in managing one’s own thinking
processes, such as problem solving and comprehension
metarecognition
the production of effective novelty through the operation
of our mental processes.
creative thinking
your reaction to any stimulus and comes from your limbic system
emotion
refers to person’s appraisal
of the situation.
congitive component
is the body’s reaction to
feeling or emotions.
physical component
is the action tendency to
deal with certain
emotions. such as
evading a frightening
situation or leaving
unfinished tasks because
of boredom.
behavioral component
typically last between 0.5 – 4 seconds
and involve the entire face. These are
emotions that we do not intend to hide
and occur whenever we are alone or
with family or close friends
macroexpressions
are expressions that go on and off he face
in a fraction of a second, as fast as 1/30
seconds. Can happen so fast that one
cannot recognize or see them easily.
microexpressions
