PRISM Brain Mapping
Everything we know about the
world around us, including
what we know about our own
bodies, comes from our brain.
Neuroscience and brain friendly learning
The more we understand
about how the brain works the
better our learning and
facilitation will be
All our thoughts, emotions and
actions are the result of many parts
of our brain acting together
The acquisition of knowledge or skills through study,
experience, or being taught
Making sense/meaning of our experiences (Mezirow
1991)
“a process by which the brain reacts to stimuli by
making neuronal connections that act as an
information processing circuit and provide information
storage” (Koizumi, 2003)
Learning is…
PRISM Brain Mapping
‘People leading organisaitons need high levels of neuro-plasticity’
‘When people do work that matches their behavioural preferences they
are more productive, they’re happier in their jobs and they stay longer’
‘Understanding how the brain makes decisions and how it deals with
stress has got great relevance for business’
Dr Colin Wallace, Director at PRISM Brain Mapping

The world’s most comprehensive,
neuroscience-based behavior
mapping instrument that:
• helps you understand yourself and
other people so you can realise your
potential
• helps you to see human behaviour in
an entirely different way
PRISM Brain Mapping
POLL: How much does an
average human brain
weigh?
The human brain
Weighs 1-1.5 kg
2 core motivations that underpin all
behaviour and brain processing:
• protect from threat
• seek reward
Helps us decide what is significant at
any point in time
The human brain – 3 brains in oneReptilian (basal ganglia)
• oldest part of the brain, fight or flight,
doesn’t think, first response, saves
our lives
• controls the body's vital functions
such as heart rate, breathing, body
temperature and balance.
• Includes the main structures found in
a reptile's brain: the brainstem and
the cerebellum.
• The reptilian brain is reliable but
tends to be somewhat rigid and
compulsive
Lizard (Reptilian) Brain
• Oldest evolutionary part of the brain
• Survival
• Controls vital functions
• brainstem, cerebellum – main structures in a lizards brain
• Reliable - rigid - compulsive
This is the biological basis for why
creating a safe learning environment
is
#1 priority
Mammalian brain, limbic system
Supports a variety of functions including your
• Emotions
• Behaviour
• Motivation
• Long-term memory
• Sense of smell
Look after your learners
elephant
Executive Brain (Prefrontal Cortex)
you use your Executive
Brain:
• consciously think
• manipulate
information
• pay attention
• Impulse control
This is where we want to get
the learning happening
Learning uses a lot of energy
.
Executive brain (PFC) chews up metabolic fuel, such
as glucose and oxygen, faster than you think
You have a limited bucket of resources for activities
like decision making and impulse control
When we use these up we don’t have as much for
the next activity
POLL
How many neurons do we
have?
Neurons/neural pathways
• Approx. 100 billion neurons
in the human brain
• Trillions of supporting cells
& synaptic connections
• 100 known chemical
regulating agents
The electrical firings and chemical messages running
between neurons are what produce our thoughts,
feelings and interactions with the world around us.
The neurons that fire
together wire together.
Hebbs Rule
http://youtu.be/t4np5wLAhWw
Neurons are the basis of learning
Lateralised brain function
A bit of myth busting…
Front & Rear Lobes
Learning rewires our brain
Knowing how your brain is wired lets you
self-direct your neuro-plasticity
The brain is a river not a rock
Up to 70% of synaptic
connections change every day
A metaphor for the brain
Blank PRISM Brain Map

The frontal left cortex sees
and examines structure and
any breaks, weaknesses or
malfunctioning in that
structure. It is able to focus
with tremendous precision
on all the relevant details that
might explain why the break
happened and how it might
be repaired. It uses its
unique ability logically to
evaluate and solve problems.
The Gold Quadrant
Learners with strong GOLD preference
Potential learning challenges
Being less perfectionistic
Being more open: to new ideas, to the
views of others
Accepting differences
Dealing with ambiguity
Less self-critical
Preferred learning environment
Safe - where they are clear about what is
required from them (and can be right…)
Provide pros and cons
Give time to analyse data thoroughly
logical, step by step presentation
Analytical
Decisive
Reserved
Deep thinkers
Perfectionistic
Hard working
Independent
The frontal right cortex sees
and examines abstract
patterns. It uses its unique
ability to generate and
manipulate internal images of
abstract or complex spatial,
patterned information to
identify trends and developing
or evolving needs.
The Green Quadrant
Learners with strong GREEN preference
Potential learning challenges
Listening and taking note of
what is being said
Getting into the detail
Being organised
Remaining objective
Controlling emotions
Conversational
Problem solvers – creative
Free choice
Adventurous
Metaphors
High critical thinking abilities
Excellent verbal communicators
Preferred learning environment
Friendly with a sense of humour
Social
Space to express own ideas
The posterior right cortex
takes in and attends to
harmonic information about
relationships between different
tonal qualities or pitches in
someone’s voice, and different
body positions and different
facial expressions. It uses its
unique ability to distinguish
harmonious relationships from
discordant relationships and to
act to harmonise whatever
material it is working with.
The Blue Quadrant
Learners with strong BLUE preference
Potential learning challenges
Being more open to new ideas
and opportunities
Being flexible
Being more assertive, direct,
decisive
Coping better with change
Preferred learning environment
Stable, harmonious environment
Logical and systematic
Need to know how things will be done
Productive
Need time to process
information (understand and
decide)
Naturally cautious –
Needs to understand why – get
to the main point quickly
Needs opportunities to speak
Listens effectively
The posterior left cortex
takes in information about
objects and masses. It uses
its unique ability to sequence
and control that information
so that the information can
be retrieved and used
dependably. Its sequential
processing is the ability to
learn and perform - a
procedure or routine to
achieve results - generally
involving objects or things
rather than people.
The Red Quadrant
Learners with strong RED preference
Potential learning challenges
Developing more patience
Toning down directness
Developing empathy and
sensitivity
Reducing need to be in control
Being more accepting and
open to the views of others
Preferred learning environment
Communication – brief and to the point
Be clear about rules and expectations
Stick to the topic
Don’t waste their time
Dynamic, fast-paced, challenging
Sequential processors
Need tangible
Black & white view of the
world
Not abstract thinkers
Autonomous
Practical
Goal oriented
How I’ve made use of this,
some ideas…
Get your learners mapped – build their self-awareness, help
them to guide their own learning experience
Build learning that caters to all the different styles
Remember: it’s good for learners to use all the different styles
even though even they have preferences – builds & strengthens
neural pathways making them stronger and more flexible
Observe your learners preferred styles in the room, how
can you help them work together better?
• who wants to be in control?
• who needs time to think?
• who likes to talk about it first?
• who needs all the information before they start?
PRISM Brain Mapping can generate a wide range
of reports and measurements including
• Work preferences
• Emotional intelligence (EQ)
• Career Development
• Mental Toughness
• 360-degree Assessment
• Team Perfomance Diagnostic
• Organisational Culture
• Work Aptitude
• Work Environment
Compatability
• Job benchmarking
• Team benchmarking
Get yourself and your learners mapped
Understand how your
brain is wired
Gain insight into your
preferred learning styles
Build self-awareness
Become more mindful
Improve group &
individual learning Remember lateralised brain
function

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. the brain is the source of all human behaviour It processes all this information and chooses the appropriate responses (behaviours).
  2. gives us the science why certain learning theories, principles and techniques work gives us new understandings about how the human brain learn Brain friendly learning and facilitation uses our understanding of the brain to create truly memorable experiences for the people we work with Not about throwing away everything we know about adult learning and faciltiation We’ve learned more about the human brain in the past 30 years than we’ve ever known before Largely due to advances in brain imaging technology Cognitive neuroscience explains behaviour in terms of the activities of the brain Explains behavior in terms of the activities of the brain Focused on perception, action, memory, language and selective attendtion – the key to learning http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/c/cognitive_neuroscience.htm science, cognition is the mental processing that includes the attention of working memory, comprehending and producing language, calculating, reasoning, problem solving, and decision making. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/apr/29/neuroscience-guide-vaughan-bell the study of the nervous system and, most notably, the brain Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behaviour and cognitive functions MRI stands for functional magnetic resonance imaging - measures where oxygen-rich blood accumulates in the brain, while the subsequent statistical analysis attempts to say how reliably these changes in blood flow are associated with the specific mental task being tested. As the more active areas need more oxygen, measuring oxygenated blood is a way of inferring where more "work" is being done. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/248680.php Neuroscience, also known as Neural Science, is the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions.

  4. Dr Colin Wallace: MI5 Officer at the British Security Office (psychological operations) SciOps Officer in the British Army Lectured on the subject in MBA programs at City University London, Churchill College Cambridge, the University of Oxford DubaiEye1038, 08/09/14 https://audioboom.com/boos/2457693-dr-colin-wallace-08-09-2014?utm_content=buffer97bad&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer#t=5m2s We’re not just dealing with neuroscience from the point of view of psychometric tests because the principle in what we’re looking at is the biological base of behavior not the psychometric side   And with that we also look at the architecture of the brain so we have the hemispheres, the front and the back of the brain, they have specific functions and also they provide pathways in the brain for specific chemicals the biological base of behavior not the psychometric side
  5. PRISM Brain Mapping’s goal is to make this complex Neuroscience information as practical and as easy to understand as possible. It is about enabling people with no neuroscientific background to understand and use some of the latest discoveries of brain science in their personal and business lives. A profiling instrument for identifying human behaviour and enhancing performance We use research that has already been conducted eg wide range of studies carried out by universities years ago looking at the effect of brain chemical such as serotonin, dopamine and of latest discoveries in cognitive neuroscience to generate a comprehensive map which illlustrates how a person is likely to behave in different situations Thrust of the research has been focused on brain problems like parkinsons and dementia, of course the spin off in terms of understanding how the brain makes decisions and how it deals with stress has got great relevance for business Measures the things people like doing and the behavioural characteristics related to those things PRISM is a language that helps you undersatnd yourself and others, we each have a pattern of behaviour htat makes us unique, being aware of those preferences enables us to adapt our behaviour to be more effective in relationships with others
  6. fundamental role – to ensure the perpetuation of the species. More highly tuned to detecting threat than reward.  Regulates all bodily functions Controls our most primitive behaviour – eating, sleeping, keeping warm Responsible for our most sophisticated activities – the creation of civilisation, of music, art and language Our hopes, thoughts, emotions and personality are all lodged somewhere in there. Professor Robert Ornstein, Stanford University
  7. Survival: fight or flight, doesn’t think, first response, saves our lives Controls vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature and balance
  8. Emotional life is largely housed in the limbic system has a great deal to do with the formation of memories

  10. The PFC chews up metabolic fuel, such as glucose and oxygen, faster than people rrealise. ‘We have a limited bucket of resources fo activities like decision making and impulse control and when we use these up, we don’t have as much for the next activity’ (Your Brain At Work, p9) Prioritising is one of the brains most energy hungry processes (Your Brain At Work, p12) It involves imagining and then moving around concepts of which you have no direct experience (YBAW p.13) It involves understanding new ideas, as well as making deciions, remembering, and inhibiting all at once (YBAW p.13) Conscious mental activities chew up metabolic resources, the fuel in your blood, significantly faster than automatic brain functions such as keeping your heart beating or your lungs breathing. (Your Brain At Work, David Rock)

  12. Hebb's Law, Connections are strengthened when two neurons fire together regularly or fire once with significant intensity, They are more likely to fire together in future to the detriment of connections with other neurons. This action forms the basis of learning. We learn through repetition and recognition. We repeat something to create brain patterns (connections between neurons) with the intention that we will recognise this pattern, and variations from it, in future.
  13. Lateralised brain function Corpus Callosum LEFT Task driven Process Structure Systems Analytical Logical Sequential processing Separates the parts that makes up the whole deals with higher order functions; most efficient for processing verbal information/encoding and decoding speech – dominant for language processing RIGHT People and relationships Emotional Creative Simultaneous processing Holistic view more involved with sensory perception than abstract cognition, recognizes musical melodies, most efficient at viaual and spatial tasks/processing,
  14. Front and rear lobes Rear cortex – is where our,, parietal and occipital lobes, brains do most of the processing of incoming date eg sight and sound Front cortex – Frontal and temporal lobes - executive actions - where our brains makes decisiona and takes actions based on the inputs to the rear cortext
  15. 70% of synaptic connections change each day Brain plasticity, also known as neuroplasticity or cortical remapping, is a term that refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. We now know that the brain can learn throughout our entire lifetime Your brain changes throughout your life. Every experience you have will impact on the structure of your brain. A changing brain enables us to learn, remember and adapt to our surroundings. At birth, a baby’s brain contains 100 billion neurons, roughly the number of stars in the Milky Way. Before birth, the brain produces these neurons and the connections between them known as synapses. During the first years of life, the brain undergoes a series of extraordinary changes. In your teenage years the brain undergoes a pruning process, eliminating connections that are seldom or never used.
