Brain-based Learning Definition This learning theory is based on the structure and function of the brain. As long as the brain is not prohibited from fulfilling its normal processes‚ learning will occur. Discussion People often say that everyone can learn. Yet the reality is that everyone does learn. Every person is born with a brain that functions as an immensely powerful processor. Traditional schooling‚ however‚ often inhibits learning by discouraging‚ ignoring‚ or punishing the brain’s

The human brain is unique. It is part of your central nervous system which contains billions or nerve cells and trillions of support cells. The brain is the central computer that controls all bodily functions; the nervous system relays messages from the brain to different parts of the body. It gives us the power to think‚ plan‚ speak‚ and imagine. It controls body temperature‚ blood pressure‚ heart rate‚ and breathing. The brain also accepts information about the world around you from your

The Secret life of the Brain The PBS special "The Secret Life of the Brain" took us through all different aspects of the brain and its formation through life. These five movies taught us that the brain is plastic and is always changing‚ cutting unused neurons and filling with different ideas and thoughts that you learn from your environment. The five videos go through the five stages of life; baby‚ child‚ teenager‚ adult and finally the aging brain. The Baby’s Brain: Wider than the Sky When you

The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are situated on the front and the top area of the brain. There major functions

The Brain and Cognitive Functions Centuries of philosophy and science have been dedicated to unraveling the mystery behind how cognition occurs‚ how it maps to areas of the brain‚ and to what degree cognition is dependant upon these various areas in which cognitive activities are located. Modern neuroscience has helped tremendously to provide some answers as have tests on brain trama patients such as Phineas Gage which revealed startling changes in individual behavior that can be linked to damage

“The teen brain is only about 80 percent of the way to maturity. That 20 percent gap‚ where the wiring is thinnest‚ is crucial and goes a long way toward explaining why teenagers’ behave in such puzzling ways- their mood swings‚ irritability‚ impulsiveness and explosiveness: their inability to focus‚ to follow through‚ and to connect with adults; their temptations to use drugs and alcohol and to engage in other risky behavior. When we think of ourselves as civilized‚ intelligent adults‚ we really
