2. Funderstanding - Right Brain vs. Left Brain
- www.funderstanding.com
- Right Brain vs. Left Brain.
- This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different "modes" of thinking. ...
- Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking: .
- Left Brain.
- Right Brain.
- In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. ...
- How Right-Brain vs. Left-Brain Thinking Impacts Learning.
- Instruction--To foster a more whole-brained scholastic experience, teachers should use instruction techniques that connect with both sides of the brain. They can increase their classroom's right-brain learning activities by incorporating more patterning, metaphors, analogies, role playing, visuals, and movement into their reading, calculation, and analytical activities. ...

- JIM LEHRER: Now, another medical story: the brain and how it develops. ...
- LEE HOCHBERG: What’s interesting to University of Washington psychologist Geraldine Dawson, watching in the next room, is what’s going on behind Joey’s facial expressions, inside his young brain. Scientists have found that a baby’s experiences--whether he’s happy, whether he hears lots of music or speech, gets hugs and eye contact--actually change the physiological development of his brain--the quality and quantity of the electrical wiring between cells. ...
- GERALDINE DAWSON, Psychologist: What we’re learning is that very early in life there are these periods when certain parts of the brain are being wired and that later in life that then these patterns will be very difficult to change. ...
- LEE HOCHBERG: Scientists had thought the brain’s wiring was complete at birth. ...
- GERALD DAWSON: What we believe is that by experiencing different emotions that you’re stimulating different parts of the brain and that this then leads to connections between the synapses. ...
- She found that in the children of happy mothers the region of the brain specialized for joy showed considerable neural activity. ...
- GERALD DAWSON: What we found was that the area of the brain that was specialized for positive emotion showed less activity and the area of the brain that specialized for negative emotion showed more brain activity. ...
- LEE HOCHBERG: With language too the new science points to key periods when the infant’s brain is being wired and needs the right kind of stimulation. ...
- PAT KUHL: The baby’s organizing; the brain is pruning some connections, maintaining others, and pruning some--this early period babies are learning, something’s going on, the brain is being sculpted and prepared for a particular language; it makes us pay attention to what goes on in that period. ...
- As the infant’s brain is being wired for language and emotion, connections also are being made for vision, also for mathematics and music and motor skills. ...
- LUCY CHAILLE, Preschool Teacher: If you can present color, music, sounds, textures, the brain is going to be making connections. The dendrites in the brain are just continuing to grow and thrive, and as you hear music in the environment, whether it’s children singing, dancing, those things help the child, actually with patterning, puzzling, geometry, and it’s just an exciting way, I think, of seeing the interconnections again in the brain and how it works. ...
- She says even most working parents are unable to provide the stimulation that the brain research indicates is necessary. ...
- It’s integrating the brain research into its $8 million Healthy Start program in which social workers offer new moms and dads tips on good parenting. ...
