PRISM Brain Mapping

Everything we know about the world around us, including what we know about our own bodies, comes from our brain.

Page 3: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Neuroscience and brain friendly learning

The more we understand about how the brain works the better our learning and facilitation will be

All our thoughts, emotions and actions are the result of many parts of our brain acting together

Page 4: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

The acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught

Making sense/meaning of our experiences (Mezirow 1991)

“a process by which the brain reacts to stimuli by making neuronal connections that act as an information processing circuit and provide information storage” (Koizumi, 2003)

Learning is…

PRISM Brain Mapping

‘People leading organisaitons need high levels of neuro-plasticity’

‘When people do work that matches their behavioural preferences they are more productive, they’re happier in their jobs and they stay longer’

‘Understanding how the brain makes decisions and how it deals with stress has got great relevance for business’

The world’s most comprehensive, neuroscience-based behavior mapping instrument that:

• helps you understand yourself and other people so you can realise your potential

• helps you to see human behaviour in an entirely different way

PRISM Brain Mapping

POLL: How much does an average human brain weigh?

Page 8: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

The human brain

Weighs 1-1.5 kg

2 core motivations that underpin all behaviour and brain processing:• protect from threat• seek reward

Helps us decide what is significant at any point in time

Page 9: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

The human brain – 3 brains in oneReptilian (basal ganglia)

• oldest part of the brain, fight or flight, doesn’t think, first response, saves our lives

• controls the body's vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature and balance.

• Includes the main structures found in a reptile's brain: the brainstem and the cerebellum.

• The reptilian brain is reliable but tends to be somewhat rigid and compulsive

Page 10: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Lizard (Reptilian) Brain

• Oldest evolutionary part of the brain• Survival• Controls vital functions • brainstem, cerebellum – main structures in a lizards brain• Reliable - rigid - compulsive

This is the biological basis for why creating a safe learning environment is #1 priority

Page 11: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Mammalian brain, limbic system

Supports a variety of functions including your• Emotions• Behaviour• Motivation• Long-term memory • Sense of smell

Look after your learners elephant

Page 12: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Executive Brain (Prefrontal Cortex)

you use your Executive Brain: • consciously think• manipulate

information• pay attention• Impulse control

This is where we want to get the learning happening

Page 13: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Learning uses a lot of energy

. Executive brain (PFC) chews up metabolic fuel, such as glucose and oxygen, faster than you think

You have a limited bucket of resources for activities like decision making and impulse control

When we use these up we don’t have as much for the next activity

POLL

How many neurons do we have?

Page 15: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Neurons/neural pathways

• Approx. 100 billion neurons in the human brain

• Trillions of supporting cells & synaptic connections

• 100 known chemical regulating agents

The electrical firings and chemical messages running between neurons are what produce our thoughts, feelings and interactions with the world around us.

Neurons are the basis of learning

Lateralised brain function

A bit of myth busting…

Front & Rear Lobes

Learning rewires our brain

Knowing how your brain is wired lets you self-direct your neuro-plasticity

The brain is a river not a rock

Up to 70% of synaptic connections change every day

The frontal left cortex sees and examines structure and any breaks, weaknesses or malfunctioning in that structure. It is able to focus with tremendous precision on all the relevant details that might explain why the break happened and how it might be repaired. It uses its unique ability logically to evaluate and solve problems.

The Gold Quadrant

Learners with strong GOLD

The frontal right cortex sees and examines

abstract patterns. It uses its unique ability to

generate and manipulate internal images of abstract

or complex spatial, patterned information to

identify trends and developing or evolving

needs.

The Green Quadrant

Learners with strong GREEN

ConversationalProblem solvers – creativeFree choiceAdventurous MetaphorsHigh critical thinking abilitiesExcellent verbal communicators

Preferred learning environmentFriendly with a sense of humourSocialSpace to express own ideas

Page 26: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

The posterior right cortex takes in and attends to harmonic information about relationships between different tonal qualities or pitches in someone’s voice, and different body positions and different facial expressions. It uses its unique ability to distinguish harmonious relationships from discordant relationships and to act to harmonise whatever material it is working with.

The Blue Quadrant

Learners with strong BLUE

preference

Potential learning challengesBeing more open to new ideas and opportunitiesBeing flexibleBeing more assertive, direct, decisiveCoping better with change

Preferred learning environmentStable, harmonious environmentLogical and systematicNeed to know how things will be doneProductive

Need time to process information (understand and decide)Naturally cautious – Needs to understand why – get to the main point quicklyNeeds opportunities to speakListens effectively

Page 28: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

The posterior left cortex takes in information about objects and masses. It uses its unique ability to sequence and control that information so that the information can be retrieved and used dependably. Its sequential processing is the ability to learn and perform - a procedure or routine to achieve results - generally involving objects or things rather than people.

The Red Quadrant

Page 29: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

Learners with strong RED preference

Potential learning challengesDeveloping more patienceToning down directnessDeveloping empathy and sensitivityReducing need to be in controlBeing more accepting and open to the views of others

Preferred learning environmentCommunication – brief and to the pointBe clear about rules and expectationsStick to the topicDon’t waste their timeDynamic, fast-paced, challenging

How I’ve made use of this,

some ideas…

Get your learners mapped – build their self-awareness, help them to guide their own learning experience

Build learning that caters to all the different styles

Remember: it’s good for learners to use all the different styles even though even they have preferences – builds & strengthens neural pathways making them stronger and more flexible

Observe your learners preferred styles in the room, how can you help them work together better? • who wants to be in control?• who needs time to think?• who likes to talk about it first?• who needs all the information before they start?

Page 31: Webinar  bfl & prism2 240315

PRISM Brain Mapping can generate a wide range of reports and measurements

including

• Work preferences• Emotional intelligence

(EQ)• Career Development• Mental Toughness• 360-degree Assessment• Team Perfomance

Diagnostic• Organisational Culture• Work Aptitude• Work Environment

Compatability• Job benchmarking• Team benchmarking

Get yourself and your learners

mapped

Understand how your brain is wired

Gain insight into your preferred learning styles

Build self-awareness

Become more mindful

Improve group & individual learning

Remember lateralised brain function
