Study Notes

Brain Lateralization

  • Nobel Prize winners Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein developed the theory of brain lateralization.
  • This theory states that each side of the brain has different functions.
  • Each person has a dominant side, which explains behavior, interests, personality, and thinking style.
  • This led to the terms "left-brained" and "right-brained" individuals.
  • Left and right brain lateralization can improve learning.
  • It provides insight into strengths and weaknesses.
  • Understanding one's brain inclination can help boost strengths and improve weaknesses.
  • This understanding can help develop effective learning and study methods.
  • Individuals can focus on improving their weaker areas.

Mind Mapping Techniques

  • Two types of mind-mapping techniques are handwritten and computerized/digital.
  • Handwritten mind maps are generally word-based and less visually detailed.
  • Computerized/digital mind maps can be easily edited and updated. Using computers for mind maps is a formal and presentable option.
  • Handwritten maps offer a personal touch.
  • Handwritten mind maps are good for spontaneous thoughts and ideas.
  • Handwritten mind maps are less presentable. Editing a handwritten mind map is difficult.
  • Computerized mind maps require computer literacy and knowledge.
