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
