Left Brain Vs. Right Brain Learning Theory Left Brain vs. Right Brain Learning Theory The left brain versus right brain learning theory states that each side of the brain controls different types of thinking. These different types of thinking are said to be dominant in different types of people. It is postulated that people are either left or right brain thinkers‚ and it is complicated for a person to try to think any differently than they already know how. The idea was raised in the 1860’s

Brain-based learning started in the 1970s as a means to understand the interworking’s of the brain and how this would aid in education. This paper will review the advantages of brain-compatible learning environments by first discussing what brain-based learning consist of‚ the relationship between the brain and student learning‚ the advantages of brain-compatible learning environments‚ how these environments can be implemented‚ brain-compatible teaching methods and how we can measure the success

Traumatic Brain Injury: Living with TBI and the effects on individual and caregivers Traumatic Brain Injury is otherwise known as TBI. “Traumatic brain injury‚ a form of acquired brain injury‚ occurs when sudden trauma causes damage to the brain.

INTRODUCTION Traumatic Brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability among the youth in Australia and other countries. The most common cause of moderate and severe head injury among the young adults is road traffic crashes with falls and assaults being the next most common cause (Elliot‚ Aitken & Chaboyer‚ 2012). Descriptive analysis of the data from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2006 from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare National Morbidity Database found that males had

What I learned in this unit is that the brain is made up of several special parts‚ each of them work in different parts. The brain has many jobs. It controls our spinal cord‚ our central nervous system and our nervous system. The spinal cord carries messages to the brain and also to the nerve cells that carry messages from the brain. Your body senses everything. Like something smashing your toe. You react to it. It all sends itself to the brain and it reacts. The cerebrum‚ controls thinking

Aging in the brain is a complex process that involves several systems and structures. Normal aging not only shows a decreased activity in neurotransmission‚ but also is a major risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Dysfunction of the central noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems is one of the biological characteristics of aging‚ which may contribute to changes in cognitive and motor functions in aged persons. Furthermore‚ aging-dependent norepinephrine (NE) loss occurs earlier

Brain Disease Endangers Football To a high school football player‚ the idea of a disease being severe enough to endanger his revered sport likely evokes outrage‚ or at the very least‚ a severe case of skepticism. And understandably so. Football has defined our culture‚ and for many‚ served as a proud way of life for nearly a century. Without football‚ high school -and really all of America- just wouldn’t be the same. Unfortunately‚ new studies demonstrate that this “disease” may hold some

Dr. Louann Brizendine’s book “The Female Brain” is an elaborate look at how women tick. This book has proven‚ thus far‚ to be a nice addition to our class work. It is contemporary piece of literature that combines both neuroscience and real life anecdotes that give insight into the minds of women. In the introduction‚ “What makes this woman”‚ Brizendine takes a difference perspective by stating some basic differences of women and men. I really appreciate her curious nature toward the topic. “While
