1. POWER OF THE MIND

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1.Discuss that understanding the left and right brain functions
may help in improving one’s learning
2.Explore Mind-Mapping techniques suited to right brain or
left brain dominant thinking styles and:
3.Make a plan to improve learning using both left and right
brain development.

13. THE
BRAIN

14. The storage of our memories, the seat of our
intelligence (Davis, 1984) and you may not
know it, it is also where our emotions are
found (Darwin, 1872; James & Lange, 1884;
Cannon & Bard, 1900; Papez, 1937; Macchi,
1989).
THE BRAIN

15. WHAT ARE THE FOUR
LOBES OF THE
BRAIN?

16. FRONTAL LOBE
Involved in reasoning, motor control,
emotion, and language. It contains
the motor cortex, which is involved
in planning and coordinating
movement; the prefrontal cortex,
which is responsible for higher-level
cognitive functioning; and Broca’s
area, which is essential for language
production.

17. PARIETAL LOBE
Parietal lobe is involved in
processing information from
the body’s senses. It contains
the somatosensory cortex,
which is essential for
processing sensory information
from across the body, such as
touch, temperature, and pain.

18. TEMPORAL LOBE
The temporal lobe is
associated with hearing,
memory, emotion, and some
aspects of language. The
auditory cortex, the main
area responsible for
processing auditory
information.

19. OCCIPITAL LOBE
The occipital lobe contains
the primary visual cortex,
which is responsible for
interpreting incoming
visual information.

20. LEFT HEMISPHERE
VS.
RIGHT HEMISPHERE

21. BRAIN DOMINANCE THEORY
➢the theory is based on the lateralization of brain
function. The brain contains two hemispheres that each
perform a number of roles. The left hemisphere controls
the muscles on the right side of the body, while the right
hemisphere controls those on the left.
➢The Brain Dominance Theory states that our behavior is
a function of heightened activity of either left or right
brain hemisphere.

22. LEFT HEMISPHERE
Left hemisphere dominantpeople
usually excelin the following fields:
▪Business analyst
▪Programmer
▪Reporter
▪Scientist
▪Network administrator
The left side of the brain controls the
right side of the body. If the left side
of the brain is dominant, the person is
logical and more academically
inclined.

23. RIGHT HEMISPHERE
Right hemisphere dominant people usually excel in
the following fields:
▪Graphic design
▪Interior designer
▪Musician
▪Painter
▪Psychologist
▪Counselor
▪Manager
The right side of the brain controls the
left side of the body. A right
hemisphere dominant person excels in
arts. It is visual and intuitive.

Quadrant

28. HOWARD GARDNER, an
American developmental
psychologists, challenged the
classical view of intelligence which
depends on a single dominant
ability as indicated by an IQ
score.
He believes these innate
intelligence are expressed in
different sensory modalities.
