2. Mind Mapping
are tools which help you think and learn. This
workshop describes how to do a mind map and in
what contexts you might use them, such as when
preparing for an essay, taking notes or preparing for
exams.
Buzan, T. (1991). The Mind Map Book. New York: Penguin.
promoted mind mapping as a learning and
thinking tool.

How to do a Mind Map
1. Look for relationships
2. Draw quickly on unlined paper without
pausing, judging or editing
3. Write down key ideas
4. Put the main idea in the centre
5. Leave lots of space
9. is a complex organ responsible for intelligence, senses, movement, and behavior.
The halves of the brain—the “right brain” and the “left brain”—perform different
functions and communicate information with each other through a band of nerves that
connect them.
The right side of the brain controls most of the movement and functions of the left side
of the body, and the left side of the brain controls most of the movements and functions
of the right side of the body.
Human Brain
12. The brain's left half is
primarily responsible for speech
and abstract thinking. It also
controls the right side of the body.
The right side of the brain
is responsible for image processing,
spatial thinking, and movement in
the left side of the body.
Each hemisphere has 4 lobes:
frontal, temporal, parietal, and
occipital
13. The frontal lobe is the most anterior (front) part of the brain. It extends
from the area behind the forehead back to the precentral gyrus. As a
whole, the frontal lobe is responsible for higher cognitive functions
such as memory, emotions, impulse control, problem solving,
social interaction, and motor function.
The temporal lobe of your brain is a pair of areas on your brain's left
and right sides. These areas, which are inside your skull near your temples
and ears, play a role in managing your emotions, processing
information from your senses, storing and retrieving memories,
and understanding language.
The parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration,
including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and
smell.
The occipital lobes sit at the back of the head and are responsible
for visual perception, including colour, form and motion. Damage
to the occipital lobe can include: Difficulty with locating objects in
environment. Difficulty with identifying colours (Colour Agnosia).
14. The Two Hemispheres as a Team
The two hemispheres do seem to have subtle differences in
their ‘style’ of processing.
Indeed, it is probably often by pooling together the
strengths/findings of the two hemispheres that we
accomplish cognitive tasks.
15. When the Team Members get Separated: Split-Brain Patients
In split-brain patients, the two hemispheres are not communicating (often
because the corpus callossum, for medical reasons, has been surgically
severed)
A typical split-brain patient can verbally report what is in their right visual field
(-> left brain -> language), but not what is in their left visual field.
Still, information from the left visual field can be processed: – Experiment: A
split-brain patient was shown picture of a spoon in left visual field. When asked
what she saw, patient said “Nothing”. Patient then had to reach with left hand
behind a curtain, and pick one of the objects there: book, pen, spoon, etc.
Patient picked the spoon. When asked what she had in her hand, she said
“pencil”
18. Mental health as “successful performance
of mental function, resulting in productive
activities, fulfilling relationships with other
people, and the ability to change and to
cope with adversity.”
Mental illness refers to diagnosable mental
disorders that are characterized by
alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior
(or a combination thereof ) associated with
distress and/or impaired functioning.”
