 Introduction
One of your most powerful and
useful abilities is mind power.
Your thoughts are the source of
this power. Everything that
happens in your life is the result
of the thoughts that run through
your mind. Your dominant
thoughts shape your behavior
and attitude, as well as your
actions and reactions.

Objectives
At the end of this module, I can:
1.Discuss that understanding the left and right
brain may help in improving one’s learning

 RIGHT/LEFT BRAIN
DOMINANCE TEST

20XX presentation title 18

 Right and Left Brain
• The brain is our motherboard, storage, operating system, and
more. The nuances of its functions can’t be summarized in a
black-and-white dichotomy, which is how the left-and-right-brain
idea came around.
• The brain is divided into symmetrical left and right hemispheres.
Each hemisphere is in charge of the opposite side of the body, so
your right brain controls your left hand. The right hemisphere
also takes in sensory input from your left side and vice versa.
• In psychology, the theory is based on the lateralization of brain
function. The brain contains two hemispheres that each perform a
number of roles
20XX presentation title 19
 The brain is segmented into regions
called lobes. Your lobes isolate your
brain’s functions to specific areas.

20XX presentation title 20

 • The frontal lobe (front of the brain) controls your body movement,
personality, problem-solving, concentration, planning, emotional
reactions, sense of smell, the meaning of words, and general speech.
• Your parietal lobe (upper middle of the brain) controls your sense of
touch and pressure, sense of taste, and bodily awareness.
• The temporal lobe (middle of the brain) governs your sense of
hearing, ability to recognize others, emotions, and long-term
memory.
• The occipital lobe (backside of the brain) controls the important
sense of sight.
• The cerebellum (lower backside of the brain) governs fine motor
control, balance, and coordination.
• The limbic lobe (middle of the brain) controls emotions.
20XX presentation title 21
 The “Left Brain, Right Brain” Myth
• While there is a left brain and a right brain,
their use in popular culture has created a
widespread misunderstanding. It’s common to
believe that the left brain is for logical thinking
and the right brain is for creativity. People
categorize themselves as being left or right
brain-oriented depending on their interests and
skills.

20XX presentation title 22

 The “Left Brain, Right Brain” Myth
Scientists deduced that the left brain was better at language and
rhythm, while the right brain was better at emotions and melody.
However, this doesn’t mean that the two halves are entirely
separate. 
The myth of the totally opposite hemispheres persists for a variety of
reasons.
• It satisfies the need for order. 
• Like astrological signs, it gives people a defined personality type.
• People naturally see creativity and logic as opposites.
• People find the idea of having untapped creative power appealing.

 Mind Mapping
• A mind map involves writing down a central
theme and thinking of new and related ideas
which radiate out from the centre. By focusing
on key ideas written down in your own words
and looking for connections between them, you
can map knowledge in a way that will help you
to better understand and retain information.
