are

possible

when you

align

purpose,

strength,

and

consistent

action.”Resources from: http://4mat4business.com/index.php

What is your

learning style?



Right Brain

• Sees big picture

• Seeks/sees patterns

• Creates metaphors

• Is simultaneous


Left Brain• Analysis

• Classifies, names things

• Generates theory

• Number sequence

• Sequential


Words you have heard.Sentences you have heard.Images you have seen.

Words – 90%Sentences – 88%Images – 98%

(Shephard, 1967)



Hemispheric Mode Indicator



But wait, it is not just a learning

style theory….

It is a learn cycle theory as well!

“You didn’t have a blank slate when you walked into kindergarten twenty, thirty, or forty years ago, one hand gripping your mother’s and the other clutching your favorite “My Pretty Pony” or your stretched-out “Slinky” or your bag of cat’s-eye marbles. You might not have known the names of all the colors – turquoise? chartreuse? magenta? – but you had already experienced them, and that knowledge was pulsing in your brain, just waiting for someone to name them and call them into your conscious world. You didn’t have a blank slate when it came to

abstractions, either – you had already figured out that sometimes you got what you wanted by waiting rather than by throwing a tantrum, even if you didn’t know that this state of suspension between agony and hope was called patience. You don’t have a blank slate now when it comes to the concepts most foreign to you, even if you’re a social worker taking a class in computer encryption or an architect trying to work your way through James Joyce’s Ulysses.”
