THE POWER OF THE MIND: The Whole Brain Theory Whole Brain Theory - In 1861, Paul Broca conducted a study o n the language and left-right brain speciali zation on a patient who had problems wit h language. After several test, Broca theor ized that some language functions reside on the left side of the brain. Split-Brain Theory -Dr. Roger Sperry was the proponent of this theory and conducted a study for epilepsy which gave him the 1981 Novel prize for Physiology or Medicine. - Explained that the brain has two hemisphere that perform task differently from each other Right hemisphere Left hemisphere Left Hemisphere Analytical Logical Reasoning Critical thinking Right Hemisphere Intuitive Creative Synthesizing The Triune Brain Theory -Dr. Paul MacLean was the proponent of this theory he came up with a theory that identified the three distinct parts of the brain. 5 Brain Dominance Theor y - Ned Herrmann was the proponent of this theory - He derives from observations and tests t hat the human body, although symmetri  Herrman’s Four Dominant dghykuyk Quadrants QUADRANTS KEYWORD Upper Left(A) Cerebral ANALYTICAL Mode Lower Left(B) Limbic Mode ORGANIZED Lower Right(C) Limbic Mode INTERPERSONAL Upper Right(D) Cerebral INTEGRATING Mode  PREFFERD RESPOND VULNERAB TYPICAL QUADRAN KEYWORD ACTIVITIE S WELL TO ILITIES OCCUPATI TS S S ONS Collecting Technical or Too focused, CEO of Logical, data, listening financial may miss technical factual, to information, synergistic organization, Analytical Thi critical, informational theories, opportunities, stock market nking technical, lectures, charts and favor broker, (Upper quantitative, reading graphs, individual vs. chemist, abstract, textbooks, formal group work, computer Left) A impersonal judging ideas approach, tends to place programmer, based on data heavy fact over finance facts, criteria, content people, manager and logical problems with reasoning delegating.

They enjoy analyzing information and understand better when presented with numbers and quantities, and they also good at theorizing or concluding based on facts and information that support their theories.  Quadrants B learners easily grasp things in sequence, enjoy organizing ideas and things, assess situations and information, and apply what they have learned into practice. This learners will always demand for clear instructions or directions.  Quadrant C learners are very sociable learner who enjoy learning with a group with whom they share ideas and projects. They are very focused and involved when trying to learn something. The C learner is also emotional and would share their emotions with a group. Personal feedback is therefore important to them. Quadrant D learner are the curios ones who enjoy discovering, experimenting, and exploring activities. 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. This learners enjoys games and surprises, is a visual learner and needs different varieties of approaches to learning. Mind Mapping Organizing information and concepts through the use of maps or diagrams has been a practice among thinkers as early as the third century. British psychology author and consultant, Tony Buzan , who also developed the technique In creating such map, popularized the use of the phrase “ mind map”.  Mind Maps are useful visual tool that help Iinking together concepts and information in such a way that the interconnection and interrelation of these are clearly laid out and easily accessible to help in problem solving and for reference and review. Mind Maps are useful during brainstorming sessions, making decisions, organizing information, simplifying complex ideas, note taking and even for personal use. Five essential characteristics of mind mapping: 1.The center image represents the main idea, subject, or focus. 2.The main branches radiate from the central image. 3.The branches comprise a key image or word drawn or printed on its line. 4.Twigs represent the lesser topics. Steps in creating basic mind maps: 1.Write the title of the subject you are exploring in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it. The example shows how someone is brainstorming the actions needed to deliver a successful presentation. TRAVEL GOALS 2. Draw lines out of the center circle to label major subject matters about making presentations like, Audience, Topic, Visual Aids, Location and Delivery.

As you come across new information, link it in to the mind map appropriately Using Mind Maps Effectively  Use single words or simple phrases - Many words in normal writing are padding, as they ensure that the facts are conveyed in the correct context, and in a format that is pleasant to read. Print Words - Joined up or indistinct writing is more difficult to read. Use color to separate different ideas - This will help you to separate ideas where necessary. Color can help to show the organization of the subject.  Use symbols and images - Pictures can help you to remember information more effectively than word, so if a symbol or pictures means something to you, use it.  Use cross linkages - Information in one part of a mind map may relate to another part. Here, you can draw lines to show the cross linkages.
