Parts of the brain: Keep in mind there are two distinct sides with different functions
The Brainstem(Pathway to the Body)
• Base of brain• Unconscious work
• Responsible for automatic survival functions
The Cerebellum(Balance)
• “little brain”• Large in size• 11% of brain’s
weight• Center of balance
The brain has 4 areas called lobes
• Frontal
• Parietal
• Temporal
• Occiptal
The Frontal Lobes(Problem Solving)
• Largest part• Move your body• Highly developed• Forms your
personality
The Parietal Lobes(Touching)
• Two major divisions• Anterior and
posterior• Senses hot and
cold, hard and soft, and pain.
• Taste and smell• Helps integrate the
senses
The Temporal Lobes(Hearing)
• Process auditory stimuli
• Subdivisions• Wernicke’s Area• Broca’s Area
The Occipital Lobes (Seeing)
• Located at lower central back of brain
• Processes visual stimuli
The function of human’s brain is distinguished into two hemispheres, Left Hemisphere and Right Hemispheres.(Roger Sperry. 1960)
The two sides are :• Corpus callosum.
This is a bundle of nerves that allows each side of the brain to communicate with each other.
• Each side of the brain processes things differently.
FUNCTIONS
Right Hemisphere• Responsible
for control of the left side of the body, and is the more artistic and creative side of the brain.
Left Hemisphere• Responsible for
control of the right side of the body, and is the more academic and logical side of the brain.
COMPARE...!!!
Left HemisphereIQ (Intelligence Quotient)Short Term Memory
VsRight HemisphereEQ (Emotional Quotient)Long Term Memory
What information the two sides recognize…???
Left Brain
• Letters
• Speech
• Numbers
• Words
Right Brain
• Arts
• Emotion
• Color
• Feeling
Based on Sousa (1995,
p. 88)
How the two sides process information…???
Left Brain
• Logical• Rational• Analytical• Objective• Looks at parts
Right Brain
• Intuitive• Irrational• Holistic• Subjective• Looks at wholes
