It can function at different levels and in many ways simultaneously. Thoughts, feelings, imagination, intuition, and physiology work simultaneously and interactively, and separately they interact and exchange information with the environment.
The most exciting, but perhaps also the most frightening part related to the results of brain research is that we can continuously influence each other’s thoughts. As long as we know how!
We challenge you with a little imagination task! The brain consists of three main structures: the brain, the spinal cord, and the bone marrow. The largest part of the human brain (the brain) is covered and protected by a thin layer called the cerebral cortex. This thin layer of nerve cells makes up about 70 percent of the nervous system and is intended to collect and decipher patterns received in the brain by identifying relationships between objects, data, and other stimuli. It is also divided into left and right hemispheres and consists of four areas, each responsible for a different function.
The frontal area is the one around the forehead and is responsible for activities such as problem solving, creative thinking, planning and organizing, and decision making. The temporal lobe is located on both the left and right sides of the head. The temples are responsible for functions such as recognizing sounds, processing them, language meaning, and memory. In the upper back part of the brain is another area that receives sensory data that help with speech.
In the middle back part of the brain is the area responsible for vision. Some scientists believe that there is a fifth area in the midbrain called the limbic system. The limbic system accounts for 20 percent of the brain’s volume. This area is responsible for regulating the body, emotions, attention, sleep, hormone production, sexuality, and smell.
Because of the brain’s ability to perform many tasks at the same time and process many stimuli simultaneously at different levels, we must not forget that using the traditional structured or linear approach to learning can cause a real disaster. Although it seems that we think sequentially - one thought after another - this illusion is far from the reality of our brain’s true operating system. Biologically, physically, intellectually, and emotionally, we do many things at the same time. In fact, our brain cannot do just one thing!
Applying a strategy that involves presenting information step by step and presenting ideas or concepts can quickly bore learners and make them feel they are wasting their time. And no one wants to experience exactly such a reaction, which is inevitably associated with a loss of trust and a lack of future commitments.
