…brain scan technology has revealed that the hemispheres’ roles are not quite so cut-and-dried as once thought. The two hemispheres are in fact highly complementary. For example, language processing, once believed to be left- hemisphere-only, is now understood to take place in both hemispheres: the left side processes grammar and pronunciation while the right processesContinue reading “Right Brain, Left Brain, Whole Brain?”

The Evolution of Right Brain Education
In the 1960s, Dr Roger Sperry performed split-brain experiments revealing distinct differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. His findings inspired new techniques for developing the brain by tapping into both sides of the brain to utilise their unique potential strengths. Individuals such as Tony Buzzan and Edward de Bono came upContinue reading “The Evolution of Right Brain Education”

Working Memory – the Key to Brilliance
Prodigies dazzle us with their virtuoso violin concertos, seemingly prescient chess moves, and vivid paintings. While their work would be enough to impress us if they were 40, prodigies typically reach adult levels of performance in non-verbal, rule-based domains such as chess, art, and music before the age of 10.

Right Brain Education Begins with Relationships First
The Right Brain Kids motto is “hug, play, learn”. This is because they believe that before you can start teaching your child, you have to develop your relationship with your child first. This is very important especially for young children. Without first focusing on your relationship, your child’s ability to learn is compromised. Relationships First Sometimes parentsContinue reading “Right Brain Education Begins with Relationships First”
