THE

POWERS
OF MIND
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this presentation, 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 the right

brain or left brain dominant thinking styles; and

● Make a plan to improve learning using both left and

right brain development

What is the brain?

The brain is a complex organ that controls

thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills,
vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every
process that regulates our body. Together, the
brain and spinal cord that extends from it make
up the central nervous system, or CNS.

MERCURY VENUS
Mercury is the closest planet Venus has a beautiful name
to the Sun and the smallest and is the second planet from
one in the Solar System the Sun. It’s terribly hot
A CRITICAL
AGE !
 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 stimulatation occurs dramatically

before age 3
DRUG
DAMAGE
 “ The question scientist 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.
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.

 THE LATERALIZATION OF THE BRAIN

LEFT RIGHT

Left and Right brain theory

 The theory of brain
lateralization was developed
by Nobel-prize winners Robert
Onstein 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
This people are:
LEFT-BRAINED
Organized

Logical

Detail- oriented
They prefer :

- Sequencing - Keep a tidy room

- Linear thinking - Answer questions spontaneously

- Mathematics - Follow directions and read

directions
- Thinking of words

- Like to set goals

- Can interpret information well

This people are:
RIGHT- BRAINED
INTUITIVE

RISK-TAKER

CREATIVE
They prefer :

- Imagination - Writing

- Holistic thinking - Fantasies

- Rhythm - Expression

- Feelings visualization

- Daydreaming

- Adventure
THE THEORY’S ADVANTAGE AND
DISADVANTAGES
 PROS :
LEARNING
Upon knowing the brain
inclinination or to which brain a
person is “ affiliated”, he or she
could think of ways to boost
strengths and compensate for
weaknesses. It may lead to
someone to develop effective
ways to learn and study.
 CONS:
STEREOTYPING

Brain dominance may have a

negative effect or may even
impede learning when this results
in a self- fulfilling prophecy.
