POINTERS TO REVIEW IN PERDEV

LESSON 1: POWER OF THE MIND

BRAIN- most complex organ in the human body

3 Main Regions:

•Forebrain

•Midbrain

•Hindbrain

FOREBRAIN- located in the uppermost region of the brain.

CEREBRUM- largest part of the brain covered by cerebral cortex.

 regulates senses, memory, emotions, intellectual activities, & body

movement

FOUR LOBES:

1. FRONTAL LOBE- front part of the brain. Controls memory, emotion,

stress response, speech, decision-making, & planning.
2. PARIETAL LOBE- near the back of the frontal lobe which regulates
perception.
3. TEMPORAL LOBE- side of the head which regulates memory, hearing,
& comprehension.
4. OCCIPITAL LOBE- back of the head which regulates sight.

THALAMUS- sends, receives, & organize information.

HYPOTHALAMUS- located below the thalamus that regulates digestive

process and responsible for growth & development.

LIMBIC SYSTEM- composes parts of cerebral cortex and hypothalamus which

regulates various types of emotions.

CEREBRAL CORTEX- responsible for processing information

2 HEMISPHERES:

 RIGHT CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE- controls left side of the body

 LEFT CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE- controls right side of the body

BRAIN DOMINANCE:

LEFT DOMINANCE
  Classical Music
 Being on time
 Careful planning
 Being thoughtful
 Monopoly, scrabble, or chess

RIGHT DOMINANCE

 Popular music
 A good times
 Visualize the outcome
 Being active
 Athletics, art, or music

MIDBRAIN- located between forebrain & hindbrain. Responsible for motor

movements particularly visual & auditory processing.

HINDBRAIN- back of the head that includes cerebellum that receives

information from the sensory system to regulate balance, postures, &
coordinate movement.

BRAINSTEM- form by midbrain & hindbrain.

 Located at lower part of the brain

 Connects the cerebrum & cerebellum to spinal cord
 For safety & survival as it regulated breathing, consciousness, heart
rate, body temp., blood pressure, digestion, wake, & sleep cycles.

LESSON 2: DEVELOPING A PLAN TO ENHANCE BRAIN FUNCTIONS

students to work out with to track one's self improvement.

 I-mprove your plan.
 N- eed to apply more strategies & recommendations in mind mapping.

MIND MAP- external mirror of your own radiant or natural thinking

facilitated by a powerful graphic process.

 One simple way to understand Mind map is by comparing it to a map

of a city; city represents main idea, main roads leading from the
center represents key thoughts, secondary roads/branches represent
secondary thoughts.

LESSON 3: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

EMOTION- subjective state of mind/reaction to a certain event. Can be
