Amanda Crumpton PSY370: Learning and the Brain Brain Based Learning David Leo November 1‚ 2010 Brain Based Learning As a physical education teacher‚ I would be very adamant about incorporating brain-based learning strategies into the curriculum. Brain based education is essentially the engagement of strategies based on principles derived from an understanding of the brain (Jenson‚ 2008‚ p. 4). This form of learning is learning in accordance with the way the brain is naturally designed

A recently published article seems to lend new information as to the way in which emotions influence our decision-making process. While emotions and reasoning are considered inherently separate by some‚ new experiments are challenging that perception. A series of studies done by experimental psychologists now show us that emotion plays a very natural role in decision-making situations. The experiments‚ ranging in type from neuroimaging to simple classical conditioning‚ suggest that emotions can

The Male and Female Brain It is proven that the male and female brains differ‚ but can one prove that it affects the behavior? Many scientists would agree that ones behavior is determined by his/her gender. Although others are convinced that social conditioning is the cause for the differences between the male and female‚ it is very unlikely that biological differences play no role in behavior. The male and female brains differ not only by how they work‚ but also on the size. For example‚

Review the relationship between dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex and antisocial behaviour There is evidence for a relationship between dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex and antisocial behaviour‚ but as to whether this evidence is strong enough to have a definitive answer is yet to be discovered. The prefrontal cortex is a complex and highly developed part of the brain making up the majority of the frontal lobe (Bear‚ Connors & Paradiso‚ 2001). It is believed that the prefrontal cortex

Difference between male and female brains Despite that males and females are both humans‚ we have differences in the body and the brain. There are multiple differences between the male and female brain. It is not completely understood yet but it has been seen in the multiple areas of the brain. Now that we have the technology to properly study the brain we can see that there are differences. Some of these differences are the structure of the brain‚ what side of the brain we use more and

Abby Prochaska BEH/225 October 26‚ 2014 Dr. Gigi Servis The brain is separated into four main lobes‚ which include the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are located on the front and the top area of the
