Learning Style Instrument:
Right Brain/Left Brain and Whole Brain Prepared by: Baranda, Jareth Joy L.
Dr. Roger Sperry -brain functions in many ways as two brains -brain composed of two hemispheres
Left hemisphere of the brain: -vocal, analytical side, which is used for verbalization and for reality-based and logical thinking.
Right hemisphere of the brain: -emotional, visual-spatial, nonverbal -thinking processes using the right brain are intuitive, subjective, relational, holistic and time-free * corpus callosum: connector between the two hemisphere
Each hemisphere gathers in the same sensory information but handles the information on different ways. One hemisphere may take over and inhibit the other in processing information or the task may be divided between the two sides with each handling the part best suited to its way of processing information. Educators need to know which side of the brain is better equipped for certain kinds of tasks and, thus, what is the most effective way to present information to leaners who may have a dominant brain hemisphere. Brain hemisphericity is linked to cognitive learning style or the way individuals perceive and gather information to problem solve, complete assigned tasks, relate to others and meet the daily challenges of life
Recent advances in brain research is mainly due to neuroimaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide the educator with the new knowledge on how brain works.
McIntoch (1998): Proposes a general hypothesis that learning and memory are emergent properties of network interactions Sylvester (1995, 1998): Reported on the research that has led to a better understanding of the functions of the brain and individual learning differences
