Personality Development Module 6

This document discusses the left and right brain and how understanding their different functions can help improve learning. It describes the three major parts of the brain - the brain stem, cerebellum, and cerebrum. The left brain is described as more logical, organized, and detail-oriented while preferring words and mathematics. The right brain is described as more intuitive, creative, and holistic while preferring feelings, visualization, and expression. Understanding how these different thinking styles can help balance brain development and improve learning.

Personality Development Module 6: Powers of Mind

1. 1. THE POWERS OF MIND


2. 2. OBJECTIVES: At the end of this module, you will be able to: • Discuss that understanding the left and
right brain functions may help in improving one’s learning • Explore mind-mapping techniques suited to
right brain- or left brain-dominant thinking styles; and • Make a plan to improve learning using both left
and right brain development.
3. 3. BRAINPOWER
4. 4. THE POWER TO ACT
5. 5. 3 MAJOR PARTS OF THE BRAIN • Brain stem It connects the spinal cord and the brain. Controls
functions that keep people alive such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and food digestion. BRAIN
STEM
6. 6. 3 MAJOR PARTS OF THE BRAIN • Cerebellum It controls voluntary movement. It translates your will
into action. BRAIN STEM CEREBELLUM
7. 7. 3 MAJOR PARTS OF THE BRAIN • Cerebrum Largest of the three brain sections, accounts for 85% of
the brain’s weight and has four lobes. BRAIN STEM CEREBELLUM CEREBRUM
8. 8. NEURONS The basic functional units of the nervous system, are three-part units and are key to brain
function. They power the rapid-fire process that turns thought into movement. The thought moves as an
electrical signal down the axons to the dendrite and then jumps to another nerve cell across a space with the
help of some chemicals.
9. 9. CRITICAL AGE
10. 10. There is a consensus among researchers that brain cells regenerate through out life. “The size of the
brain doesn’t increase much after 3” It is during the first three years of life, the brain experiences most of
its growth and develops most of its potential in learning. 1. The brain parts are adaptable. 2. Deprivation of
intellectual stimulation occurs dramatically before age 3.
11. 11. DRUG DAMAGE
12. 12. “The question scientists can’t answer now is if the damage is permanent.” INHALANTS Such as glue,
paint, gasoline and aerosols, destroys the outer lining of nerve cells and make them unable to communicate
with each other.
13. 13. Marijuana hinders memory, learning, judgment and reaction times. Ecstasy destroys neurons that makes
serotonin - a chemical crucial in controlling sleep, violence, mood swings and sexual urges. Steroids cause
aggressions and violent mood swings.
14. 14. “There’s a lot we won’t know until later. Classic example is cigarettes. We allowed people to smoke for
100 yrs before we knew about all the horrible things that nicotine will do”
15. 15. ACTIVITY #1
16. 16. TO SCORE
17. 17. 1. Give yourself one point for each time you answered "A" for questions: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 19,
20, 21. 2. Give yourself one point for each time you answered "B" for questions: 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17,
18. 3. Add all points. Totals imply: 0-4: strong left brain 5-8: moderate left brain 9-13: middle brain 14-16:
moderate right brain 17-21: strong right brain
18. 18. THE LATERALIZATION OF THE BRAIN THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN THEORY
19. 19. The theory of brain lateralization was developed by Nobel-prize winners Robert Ornstein and Roger
Sperry. It states that each side of the brain has different specific functions. While humans use both sides,
each one has a dominant side which, according to the theory, explains much about his or her behaviour,
interests, personality, and mode of thinking. This led to the coined terms left-brained or right- brained
individuals
20. 20. LEFT-BRAINEDThese people are o Organized o Logical o Detail-oriented They prefer o sequencing o
linear thinking o mathematics o thinking in words o Like to set goals o Can interpret information well o
Keep a tidy room o Answer questions spontaneously o Follow directions and read directions
21. 21. RIGHT-BRAINEDThese people are o Intuitive o Risk-takers o Creative They prefer o imagination o
holistic thinking o rhythm o feelings visualization o daydreaming o Adventure o Writing o Fantasies o
expression
22. 22. THE THEORY’S ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
