What does it mean?
 An important factor to understanding learning
styles is understanding brain functioning.

 Both sides of the brain can reason, but by


different strategies, and one side may be
dominant over the other.

 A middle brain person shares those of both left


brain and right brain characteristics.
What does it mean? (cont.)
• A left brain (successive processor) prefers to
learn in a step-by-step sequential format,
beginning with details leading to a conceptual
understanding of a skill.

• A right brain (simultaneous processor) prefers to


learn beginning with the general concept and
then going on to specifics.
