Study Notes
The Whole Brain Theory
- Paul Broca's studies in 1861 linked language functions to the left brain hemisphere.
- Roger Sperry's split-brain experiments (1981 Nobel Prize) revealed the different functions of the brain's two hemispheres. The left hemisphere is focused on tasks requiring logic, analytical ability, and critical thinking, while the right is focused on intuition, creativity, and synthesis.
- Paul MacLean's Triune Brain Theory identifies three parts of the brain: neocortex, limbic system, and reptilian complex.
- The neocortex handles tasks like language, planning and thinking.
- The limbic system manages emotions, motivation, and parenting.
- The reptilian complex controls self-preservation and aggression.
- Ned Herrmann developed the Brain Dominance Theory, suggesting that, like having a dominant hand, individuals have dominant brain parts.
- He identified four brain quadrants: upper left (analytical), lower left (organized), lower right (interpersonal), and upper right (imaginative).
- The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is a 120-question survey to measure brain quadrant preferences and thinking styles.
- Whole-brain thinking recognizes individuals prefer multiple styles and encourages using different styles to improve problem solving.
Mind Mapping
- Mind mapping, a technique to organize information, dates back centuries.
- Tony Buzan popularized the term "mind map".
- A mind map represents ideas branching from a central concept to improve study, organization, problem-solving and writing.
- MindTools.com recommends the following steps to create a basic mind map:
- Write the subject title in the center and create a circle around it.
- Draw lines from the center to the circle to label major subjects (e.g., Audience, locations). This will eventually form a central node with branches expanding outward.
- Five essential characteristics of a mind map: central image (main focus), main branches radiating from the center, key/word images on each branch, twigs representing lesser topics, and branches forming a connected nodal structure.
