MINDSET MATTERS

Mind mapping is a technique based on memory,


creativity, comprehension, and understanding. So,
when students and children use the mind map, they
use their brain in the way their brain was designed
to be used, so the mind helps them in all learning
and cognitive skills. It simply allows them to do
what the brain does naturally.

—Tony Buzan, inventor of mind mapping

Focus Questions

Focus Questions:
● What can you infer from the
activity? Did you follow all of the
orders of Simon?
● All of us are unique from each
other. How important is it to
understand how we think with our
brains?
● What do you know about the brain
dominance theory?
● Why do you think the brain's two
20
hemispheres have different
The Human Brain

● The brain has always been a


fascinating body part. It is a
delicate, gel-like organ that is
considered as the most
powerful part of the
human body.

● The study of the brain made it


easier for people to
understand how it connects
bodily functions together and
how it affects your cognitive
abilities and behavior.
The Parts of the Brain

● Forebrain: This is considered


the biggest part of the brain.
It mostly consists of the
cerebrum.

● Midbrain: This part is found


between the forebrain and
the hindbrain. It is responsible
for eye movement and
auditory information.

● Hindbrain: This part is


composed of the cerebellum,
pons, and medulla oblongata.
The Four Lobes of the Brain
The Four Lobes of the Brain

This region is responsible for the higher-level


Frontal Lobe thinking processes like problem solving, learning,
and organizing.
Parietal Lobe This region integrates sensory data like touch,
pain, pressure, and temperature.

Temporal This region’s main function is to process auditory


Lobe signals and information. It is an important
component in understanding language.
Occipital This region processes visual information, including
Lobe the detection and identification of colors,
movement, and other visual stimuli.
The Left and Right Sides of the Brain

● Tiny bits of information are gathered and


Left Brain
processed in a linear or lateral way.
● It easily understands symbols.
● It applies logic in solving problems by
integrating different bits of information.
● Verbal thinking is dominant.

● It organizes information as a whole and not in


Right Brain small pieces.
● It prefers concrete objects rather than symbols.
● It makes use of intuition in problem solving.
● Visual thinking is dominant.
