Limiting functions to specific locations in the brain is inconsistent with current brain research. (p. 38)

According to Goldberg's research, beginning a unit or lesson with a lecture delivered in a linear, verbal fashion, is the proper way to introduce new learning. (p. 39)

Optimal problem solving is achieved through a dynamic balance of linear and round processing. (p. 39)

The goal of education is to develop flexible use of both processing modes. (p. 41)

Learners who are at ease in round processing may have trouble describing what they think. (p. 43)

Teachers need to develop instructional methods that teach to his/her preferred mode of processing. (p.43)

Asking students to compare and contrast is an example of round processing. (p. 46)

Asking students to demonstrate understanding with body motion, especially without words, is an example of round processing. (p. 51)

Asking students to visualize and draw is an example of linear processing. (p. 47)

The limbic system, temporal lobe, prefrontal cortex, and motor cortex are all stimulated in the 4MAT learning cycle. (Philippe article)

Not only do all of the systems in the brain have to develop and interconnect, but they also have to stay balanced and properly integrated for optimal performance. (Cozolino article.)

In general, the right hemisphere has taken the lead on language processing, linear thinking, and pro-social functioning while the left hemisphere specializes in visual-spatial processing, strong emotions, and private experience. (Cozolino article)

There is a greater likelihood that learning will generalize outside the classroom if it is organized across sensory, physical, emotional and cognitive networks. (Cozolino article)

Because a memory is stored in multiple networks, it’s reinforced each time any of its connecting hubs activates, which then promotes additional connections among the axons and dendrites that send communications from neuron to neuron. (Willis article)
