  2. The Brain

  3. Brain • Weighs 1300 - 1400 g • Made up of about 100 billion neurons • “The most complex living structure on the universe” • Makes us who we are

  4. Brain structure Cerebrum cerebellum hypothalamus Pituitary gland medulla

  5. Parts of the cerebrum

  6. Parts of the cerebrum

  7. Motor strip and homunculus Motor strip

  8. Exterior Parts of the Brain • Frontal Lobes – planning & thinking • Temporal Lobe – sound, speech, LTM • Occipital – visual processing • Parietal lobe – orientation, calculations

  9. Interior Parts of the Brain • Limbic System – generation of emotions • Thalamus – processes sensory stimuli – except smell • Hippocampus – checks info in working memory to stored experiences

  10. Cerebral Mode R I G H T M O D E Non V E R B A L L E F T M O D E V E R B A L Logical Analytical Fact Based Qualitative Holistic Intuitive Integrating Synthesizing Interpersonal Emotional Kinesthetic Feeling Based Organized Sequential Planned Detailed Limbic Mode

  11. Brain Transmissions • Neurons transmit impulses along an axon and across the synapse to the dendrites of the neighboring cell

  12. 1,000,000,000,000,000 synapses • Learning occurs by changing the synapses so that the influence of one neuron on another also changes. • The more complex the skills demanded in an occupation, the more dendrites were found on the neurons – creates more sites in which to store learnings

  13. How the Brain Learns • Connections the brain finds useful become permanent; those not useful are eliminated as the brain selectively strengthens and prunes connections based on experience. • What are the implications for teaching?

  14. The Brain is a novelty seeker • The brain has a persistent interest in novelty. • An environment that contains mostly predictable stimuli lowers the brain’s interest

  15. Information Processing Model • Learning • Storing • Remembering • Are all dynamic and interactive processes

  16. Information Processing Model • It limits its scope to the major cerebral operations that deal with: • Collecting • Evaluating • Storing • Retrieving information • The parts that are most useful to educators

  17. How the Brain Learns • Colleton County School District • Administrative Meeting – July 28, 2005
