PAR-1 Select a part of the brain. Explain its functions and how it impacts learning!
The Brain-SELECT ONE PART AND EXPLAIN
Brain3 Divisions
Hindbrainprimitive core, 1st to form, top of spinal cord, regulates basic somatic activities like breathing
i. Medulla oblongata-bump in spinal cord, controls breathing, heart rate, BP, digestion; damage is usually fatal
ii. Pons-connects the two halves of the cerebellum, regulates arousal
1. raphe nucleisystem of nerves through the pons, uses serotonin, believed to trigger and maintain slow wave sleep
i. Thalamusthe relay stationrelays information from incoming sensory systems (except for olfactory information, which goes directly to the limbic system) to the appropriate areas of the cortex. Also involved with motor activity, language, and memory. Korsakoff Syndrome involves damage to neurons in the thalamus and mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus.
ii. Hypothalamuscontrols ANS and Endocrine system in conjunction with the pituitary gland. Maintains homeostasis of fluids, temperature, metabolism, and appetite. Involved with motivated behaviors such as eating, drinking, sex, and aggression.
1. Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN)system of nerves located in the hypothalamus; involved with regulating circadian rhythms. Takes information from the eyes (retina), interprets it, and passes it on to the pineal gland which then secretes the hormone melatonin.
iii. Basal Gangliasystem of nerves; includes the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra. Involved with planning, organizing, and coordinating voluntary movement. Disorders associated with the basal ganglia are: Huntingtons Disease, Parkinsons Disease, and Tourettes Syndrome. Also implicated in mania, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and psychosis.
iv. Limbic Systemseveral brain structures that work together to mediate the emotional component of behavior. Also involved with memory.
1. Amygdalaintegrates and directs emotional behavior, attaches emotional significance to sensory information and mediates defensive and aggressive behavior
2. Septuminhibits emotionality
3. Hippocampusinvolved more with memory, particularly the transfer of memory from short-term to long-term memory
i. Frontal lobeincludes motor, premotor, and prefrontal areas. Receives information from other areas of the brain and then sends out commands to muscles to make voluntary movements. Involved with expressive language. Higher order skills, such as planning, organizing, and reasoning. Also, some concentration, attention, and orientation.
ii. Parietalcontains somatosensory cortex; involved with interpreting and making sense of touch, pain, and temperature
iii. Temporalsound and smell, receptive language, memory and emotion
-lateral fissureseparates the temporal lobe from the frontal and part of the parietal lobes
iv. Occipitalreceives visual impulses, involved in understanding visual information
PART-2 Transfer of learning is discussed in depth in Chapter 6, so make sure to review this!
What are the types of transfer that can occur? Describe the transfer process as it relates to learning in a specific workplace of your choosing.
PART-3 Review this weeks course materials and learning activities, and reflect on your learning so far this week. Respond to one or more of the following prompts in one to two paragraphs:
