Brain Basics

The Reptilian Brain - the "Preverbal" It is the oldest and smallest region in the evolving human brain. It is "preverbal," but controls life itself, such as autonomic brain, lung and heart functions. Lacking language, its impulses are instinctual and ritualistic. It is concerned with fundamental needs such as food, physical maintenance, preening and mating.

The Limbic Brain - the "Emotional" Brain Common to all mammals, it developed about 60 million years ago, after the dinosaurs perished. It's involved in bonding needs, including emotions linked to attachment. It acts as the brain's emotion factory, creating the chemical messages that connect information into memory. Retention of information can be significantly increased when it's presented in an emotionally charged context.

The Neocortex Brain - the "Thinking" Brain It constitutes five-sixths of the total brain mass, which has evolved over the last million years, to produce the human brain. It controls such high-level processes as logic, creative thought, language, and the integration of sensory information. The neocortex is divided into the left and right cerebral hemispheres, described in Left/Right Brain Theory.

So… ...who cares?

The Triune Brain Theory and Education Therefore, long-term memory is created by paying attention to the power of the whole brain by simultaneously: Recognizing your own reptilian brain, i.e., your personal learning style and how to apply skills and techniques that will promote your own learning process Recognizing your own limbic brain and creating activities and study strategies that link your emotions to the acquisition of new information Designing study strategies that appeal to both the left and right sides of the thinking brain Traditional education was designed for predominantly neocortex functions. However, this misses a basic brain fact: the reptilian brain is an interconnected pathway to the limbic brain which is an interconnected pathway to the neocortex -- you can’t skip a brain function!

Now It’s Your Time to Process! What do you KNOW so far? Is the information so far any different than your old information? If so, how is it different? How does this information affect what you will DO in the future?
