Lesson 5: THE POWER OF MIND

The Lateralization of the Brain

 -the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The medial longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.



The Left and Right Brain Theory

The theory of brain lateralization was developed by Nobel-prize winners Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein.

MIND MAP

·         Popularized by Tony Busan.

·         A mind map is thinking technique use to visuality organize information.

·         A mind map usually revolves around a central subject.

·         Major ideas in the form of images and words branch out from the main subject.

·         Text, lines, colors, images and symbols may be used to make mind maps.

 

Two types of MIND MAP



1. HANDWRITTEN

·         These are the traditional mind map using the hands.

·         This suits the left-brained people.

·         Words-based and have less visual hands on.

PROS

·         There is a personal touch, uniqueness.

·         It requires only simple materials (paper, pencil, coloring materials).

·         It allows spontaneous flow of thoughts and ideas.

CONS

·         There is difficulty when wishes to edit or modify it.

·         Hand written mind maps can be less presentable.

 

2. COMPUTERIZED or DIGITAL MIND MAP

·         These are generated through computer and computer application.

·         This suits the right-brained individuals

·         This much allows creativity and more visual accompaniments.

PROS

·         It can easily be edited, modified, and updated.

·         It appears to be more formal and presentable.

·         It can be easily be done if one is knowledgeable in computer.

The powers of mind are all about the issue of being a left or right brain dominance. People with right brain dominance are said to be more emotional, swayed by feelings and they tend to be disorganized. In people with left brain dominance are the contradictions of the people who has a right a brain dominance because in left brain dominance these people are very organized logical and detail oriented.

After the discussion, I’ve realized that I belong with the people who has a right brain dominance. Why did I come up with that realizations? Because I seem to view things and events through my feelings and I tend to be disorganized. Sometimes I’m intuitive, risk taker, and indecisive which contradicts the left brained criterion.

  Personal Development Lesson 1:Knowing Oneself (GUIAN)                               I consider this lesson ”Knowing oneself” a relatable one. As an adolescent, We should know ourself better than anyone else. In this lesson, it help us to seek ourself, and to know ourself better. To know yourself is your first priority! Knowing and understanding yourself better will make you good at decision making, setting your main goals and make you living more productive life. I consider myself as a process. Because, I didn’t know yet how to socialize with other people and how to know if they’re trusted or not. Because I learn from my past that other people is temporary.
