The Roles of Exterior Portions
Temporal Lobes
Deals with sound and music. Face and object recognition. Long term memory. Houses speech centers.

The Triune Brain Theory
• The Reptilian Complex– Consists of the Cerebellum and Brain Stem– The Cerebellum is responsible for movement– The Brain Stem controls “Fight or Flight”,
digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, breathing
![Page 8: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Triune Brain Theory
• The Limbic System– The limbic system was the second brain to evolve– It houses primary emotions– It houses the Amygdala which ties events to
emotions– It houses the Hippocampus which converts
information into long term memory and memory recall
![Page 9: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Triune Brain Theory
• The Neocortex– It is the outer shell of our brain and takes up 5/6
of the volume– It makes language, speech and writing possible– It performs logical and operational thinking– It allows us to see ahead and plan for the future

Fluid vs. Crystalline Intelligence
![Page 11: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fluid Intelligence
The hardware of the brain that determines sheer speed and accuracy of information processing
Reaction time, Concentration, Working Memory, AttentionDecreases with ageIs independent of socio-economic status
![Page 12: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Crystalline Intelligence
The software of the brain that includes our knowledge base and mastery of emotional and social skills
Can increase with ageIs dependent on socio-economic status

Inattentional Blindness
• It allows us to perform higher order thinking• We still process small inputs but on a
subconscious level• ADHD students have difficulty with processing
out data
![Page 15: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What it means for instruction
• Let the students know what the ultimate goal or big picture is in the lesson
• Minimize inputs that aren’t part of the big picture or goal of the lesson

Motivating the Unmotivated in the classroom
•Tap into students seeking circuit•Plan lessons that hold anticipation•Provide curiosity•Tap into student interests

Super Genius: Genetic or Made?
![Page 21: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to become a Super Genius
• Practice• Practice• Practice
![Page 22: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Memory Superstars
• Used mnemonic strategy of memorization• fMRI showed that superstars used the spatial
memory portion of their brain• There was no structural difference in the
brains, the only difference was the areas they used
• A 2007 study of master chess players showed that IQ had no effect on ability, only time spent playing and studying moves
![Page 23: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Types of Memory
• Short Term Memory
– Immediate–Working
• Long Term Memory
![Page 24: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Importance of Working Memory
• Time Limits• Capacity• Meaning and Sense Making– Emotion– Past Experience
![Page 25: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Long Term Memory and Storage
• Encoding

Retention
• Practice• Guided Practice• Rehearsal
![Page 27: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Aha! Moments
• The left hemisphere does our everyday verbal-reasoning processes
• The right hemisphere is our creative side• fMRI studies show that when problem solving
a sudden spark of activity occurs in the right hemisphere of the brain that activates novel circuits in the left side of the brain
![Page 28: The Brain The Black Hole in Education Pat Phillips Andy Simmons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649ec75503460f94bd3dcb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Training the Aha ProcessFour Steps to Increase Creativity
• Focus on the problem for as long as you need to understand it.
• Mentally put into words your implicit assumptions. Write a summary of your understanding.
• Make certain you understand what you must do to reach a solution.
• What other ways can I envision this problem?

Connect each of the dots with four straight lines.

Lesson Planning and Organization
• Primary – Recency Effect
• Concept Planning• Short is Better
