OF THE MIND
“THERE’S MORE THAN
MEETS THE EYE!”
 The learners should be able to
1 discuss that understanding the left and right brain may help in
improving one’s learning
2 explore two types of Mind mapping techniques each suited to
right brain or left brain dominant thinking styles
3 make a plan to improve learning using left and right brain
through mind mapping activities
ACTIVITY:
- FIRST, SAY THE WORD!
ACTIVITY:
- SECOND, SAY THE COLOR OF EACH
WORD!
 When the name of a
color is printed in a color
that is not denoted by the
name, naming the color of
the word takes longer and
is more prone to errors Stroop Effect
than when the color of the
ink matches the name of John Ridley Stroop
the color.
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
 The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that
carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts
of the body.

 The nervous system includes both the Central nervous system and
Peripheral nervous system.

 The Central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

 The Peripheral nervous system is made up of the Somatic and the

Autonomic nervous systems.

 FACTS ABOUT THE BRAIN

• The human brain is the only organ in the human body that lacks
nerves despite the fact that it acts as the central command for
the central nervous system. This simply implies that, the human
brain feels no pain.

• "There is 2,500,000 gigabytes of storage space in your brain.

The top-of-the-line iPhone 7 has 256."
 FACTS ABOUT THE BRAIN

• There are about 100 billion neurons in a human brain, which is about the
same as the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

• Riding a bike seems impossible at first. But soon you master it. How? As
you practice, your brain sends "bike riding" messages along certain
pathways of neurons over and over, forming new connections. In fact, the
structure of your brain changes every time you learn, as well as whenever
you have a new thought or memory.
 FACTS ABOUT THE BRAIN

• Humans have large brains relative to body weight. The

adult human brain weighs about three pounds (1,300–
1,400 grams).
• But would a bigger brain make you smarter? That's
unlikely.

A sperm whale's brain weighs about 17 pounds, or 7,800 grams.

Shape: The brain closely resembles a head of cauliflower

Size: It is similar to a large grapefruit or cantaloupe

Composition: The brain is mostly water (78 percent), fat (10

percent), and protein (8 percent).

Texture: It is about the same as soft butter, but some parts are as
gooey as raw eggs or yogurt.
 The Human Brain and Its Hemisphere

 The human brain is a paired organ and has two cerebral

hemispheres that are quite similar but are not exactly like the
other.
 Each hemisphere performs and executes specific functions carried
out by an intricate set of neural mechanisms localized primarily in
one half of the brain.
 This theory was developed by Nobel Prize winners Roger Sperry
and Robert Ornstein.
 The Human Brain and Its Hemisphere

 It helps us to have practical understanding of our behavior, our

personality, and our abilities to use the proper mode of thinking
when performing different tasks.
 The two hemispheres are joined by the corpus collosum, a bundle
of millions of nerve fibers that transmit data from one hemisphere
to the other. It helps the hemispheres communicate with each other,
thus, allowing them to collaborate with each other.

•Left Hemisphere
• Processes things more in parts and
sequentially
• Musicians process music in left hemisphere

•Right Hemisphere
• Music and Arts have been considered right-
brain "frills" but trained musicians use more
left-brain and novice musicians use more
right.
• Higher-level mathematicians, problem
solvers, and chess players actually have
more right-brained activity, but beginners
use more left brain.
So what if you are left-brained or right brained?

Knowing this can improve one’s learning

MIND MAPPING
Mind mapping is a powerful thinking tool. It is a graphical technique that
mirrors the way the brain works, and was invented by Tony Buzan.
Mind mapping helps to make thinking visible. Most people make notes
using lined paper and blue or black ink. Making notes more attractive to
the brain by adding color and rhythm can aid the learning process, and can
help to make learning fun.
The subject being studied is crystallized in a central image and the main
theme radiates out from the central image on branches.
MIND MAPPING
Each branch holds a key image or a key word. Details are then added to the
main branches and radiate further out.
Mind maps have a wide variety of uses, for example, note taking, revision
planning, planning for writing and problem solving can all be successfully
carried out using the technique.
The colors and the graphics used will help you organize your ideas and
thoughts. They can be very simple or, quite detailed the complexity of the
subject.
Because creating the mind map involves the use of the left and right brain,
remembering the information becomes easier!
A mind map can be used in every aspect of life

Mind Mapping Memory Technique
As many scientists said, you can
remember things you have forgotten
with the correct trigger. All you need is a
good memory technique. A mind map is
such a simple memory-improving tool
that helps you connect ideas to
information you want to remember.

•Memorable images: help to recall someone’s name or a particular word

•Add connections: remember when and why some certain event happened
•Add relevant symbols: assist to identify specific pieces of content
Mind Mapping Study Technique
Mind Mapping Study Technique
A mind map includes the full
range of cortical skills – word,
image, number, logic, color
and spatial awareness, which
makes it easier to remember
your notes.

•Image and icon : enables you to comprehend messages easily

•Highlight clouds and relationship arrows: make connections more
explicit
