Different parts of the

brain and it’s

function
What is the Whole Brain Theory?
In 1861, conducting a study and tests
on a patient with language problems,
Paul Broca theorized that some
language functions reside on the left
hemisphere of the brain.
2
 What is the Whole Brain Theory?
According to Dr. Roger Sperry, the
left-brain hemisphere performs tasks that
involve analytical thinking, critical thinking
and logical reasoning Dr. Sperry
explained this in his Split-Brain Theory.

3
What is the Whole Brain Theory?
Dr. Paul MacLean, identified three
distinct parts of the brain namely:
neocortex, limbic system and
reptilian complex.

4
What is the Whole Brain Theory?
The neocortex or rational brain is
responsible for language,
planning, abstraction, and
perception.

5
What is the Whole Brain Theory?
The limbic system or
intermediate brain is responsible
for motivation and emotion in
feeding, reproductive behavior,
and parental behavior.
6
 What is the Whole Brain Theory?
The reptilian complex or primitive
brain controls self- preservation
and survival instincts.
Dr. MacLean referred to his theory
as the, The Triune Brain Theory.

 What is the Whole Brain Theory?
Ned Herrmann, an engineer at
General Electric, came up with
Brain Dominance Theory.

 What is the Whole Brain Theory?
left cerebral hemisphere, left limbic
system, right limbic system and right
cerebral hemisphere. Hermann is known
as the Father of Brain Dominance
Technology.

 Herrmann’s Four Dominant Quadrants
Ned Herrmann labelled the four quadrants of the brain as:
1. Upper Left (A) Cerebral Mode, Key Word: ANALYTICAL
2. Lower Left (B) Limbic Mode, Key Word: ORGANIZED
3. Lower Right (C) Limbic Mode, Key Word:
INTERPERSONAL
4. Upper Right (D) Cerebral Mode, Key Word:
IMAGINATIVE

 Basic Elements of Personal Development Plan
4. Actions - these are the executions of your goal or
your tasks to achieve your goals.
5. Resources - it can be your budget in doing the
activity, the persons involved, the materials you are
going to use, etc.
6.Desired outcome - these are probably your

towards your expected result.
2. Identify your needs - it is essential to identify your
target as to what aspect you are going to enhance.
3. Time frame - this is the expected time that you are
going to implement your actions (month, day, year,
and specific time)

7. Assessment - test your work if the
goals/objectives are met.
8. Feedback - these are the
comments/suggestions towards your actions for
better result.

 Activity : Oh, My Brain!
Directions: Illustrate the different ways in
improving your brain functions for personal
development. Follow the steps and guidelines
in making the mind map. In three to five
sentences, discuss each way you enumerated
on how it affects the brain processes. A rubric
will be used to rate your work.
21
 Activity : Oh, My Brain!
How to draw a mind map:
1. Use a long bond paper. Landscape. With a one-inch
margin in all sides.
2. Draw the central image. Topic: Ways on Brain
Development
3. Add branches representing the subject’s main topics
or themes using keywords. You can use any colored
materials to represent each branch.
22
 Activity : Oh, My Brain!
How to draw a mind map:
4. Write the words clearly.
5. Discuss each subtopic how it was
linked on the main topic.
6. Use line/arrows to connect ideas.
