It helps the transfer of information from short term memory into long term memory. (Willingham, 2007) The brain also helps with problem solving and reasoning skills. In order for cognitive functioning in the brain to work correctly it needs to be able to transmit signals from the left hemisphere to the right hemisphere. When signals are received from the left side of the body they go to the right side of the brain and visa versa. The brain also helps coordinate movement.
The Cerebrum is located in the upper most part of the brain and divided into left and right hemispheres which are divided again into four different lobes. Its functions actually give us the ability to read, speak, write, calculate, compose music, remember, plan, motor function, perceiving and touch sensation. This section of the brain has proved to be the most developed and as well as the largest part of the brain. (Pages 428- 430) 4. White matter is made up of myelinated axons; the white of myelin is where White matter actually gets its name from.
Misbehavior is less likely to recur if a student makes a commitment to avoid the action and to engage in more desirable alternative behaviors.”(Kizlik, 2012). I believe that I have a more to learn about classroom management and policy, especially dealing with punishment and consequences. The use of praise in my classroom management style might be good. In the use and way I praise students matched the use of best practices of more seasoned professionals. I have linked praised with student performance and instruction.
Chapter Three, Log Three Bailey McKenna 9/12/13 1. The first question I have after reading through the information provided in chapter three is regarding the central nervous system, or the CNS. I read on page 61, that the CNS is made up of only the brain and the spinal cord yet more than 99 percent of all nerve cells in the body are located in the CNS. My question is because the rest of the body’s 1 percent of nerves is in everything other than the brain and spinal cord, does this mean that critical damage to other body parts with fewer nerves will have less than a dismal effect on the body? Another question I have that was generated after viewing the visual information in the Split-Brain on page 3T-6.
Thin Slicing Life In the novel “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell, thin slicing is used as a tool in life to make “snap-decisions” from one’s unconscious state of mind. This can be more effective rather than a complex thought process. In the classroom is where I feel I come in contact with thin slicing the most. When a difficult or random question is asked, occasionally I would get an answer right away but I wouldn’t think it was right. In that situation I would find out that my answer was actually correct.
Using this tactic allows management to get the most out of each employee for a better workforce. When an employee is armed with a better understanding of his or her strengths and weaknesses, they are in a better position to find a career that is truly rewarding. The contents in this research paper will explain the attributes and faults of my Keirsey style EFSP. ESFP: The Performer After completing the Keirsey self assessment, I found that my Keirsey type was ESFP (Extrovert, Sensation, Feeling, Perceiving). Being an extravert, I have the need to be sociable and tend to be energized by talking to and working with people which is true for me.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) challenges the patients negative thoughts and replaces them with constructive positive thinking which leads to healthier behaviour. People rarely realise that they have a problem with their thinking so this is the main thing that therapists work on - making the maladaptive thoughts conscious. The therapist should challenge these thoughts, once made obvious to the patient, which would lead to them understanding that there is no basis for them to think in a negative way - effectively making the problem disappear. CBT works by the therapist helping their client identify the negative thoughts they have about the word, themselves and the future. The client also learns what the consequences of these thoughts are/could be.
They will have it easier in learning the new combinations of sounds at a young age that will make their speech skills come easier throughout therapy. I don’t agree with Harlan Lane’s article. The way he tells people they are wrong for getting a cochlear implant isn’t his place to say anything. I believe its freedom of choice to have this done or to have your children get this done. I also don’t agree with him saying cochlear implants wont work well for young children and there better off for “healthy adults.” I believe that is would probably be easier for children to learn how to use this cochlear implant as a tool because at those young ages they soak up all information they can receive, rather then adults who are sometimes stuck in their ways.
He argues that priming effects have some effects on how someone performs. I don’t agree with this because IQ plays a factor when considering how smart a person is not just based on if they were primed to be. Because in many cases that I have seen some people just have the ability to learn quicker and better than others no matter how much practice or help they get. I really liked the chapter where he talks about having a picture in your mind. I think he does a good job of describing how the verbal overshadowing works in terms of processing images and our
Besides increasing in size, these frontal regions also became better connected, both within themselves, and to other parts of the brain that deal with sensory input and motor control. Such changes can even be seen in the individual neurons within these regions, which have evolved more input and output points. All of which equipped the later primates with an extraordinary ability to integrate and process the information reaching their bodies, and then control their actions based on this kind of deliberative reasoning. Besides increasing their overall intelligence, this eventually leads to some kind of abstract thought: the more the brain processes incoming information, the more it starts to identify and search for overarching patterns that are a step away from the concrete, physical objects in front of the
