INSTRUMENTS OF COGNITION
If we're not having fun, we're doing something wrong. Utilize these cognitive communication instruments to build, store and collaborate with your Nested Eggs, select from more than sixty Brain Breaks, and let our Lobe-A-Phobe perspective generators ignite your next communication or presentation.
The Nested Egg Builder
Brain-centric Design's model for facilitating a thinking system that aligns with how the human brain processes information and how people learn best.
Before the brain will 'accept' new information, it needs to be ordered for the brain to accept it.
Tame chaos. The Nested Egg delivers your Big Idea, its Scaffolding Thoughts, and prioritizes your content in a simple proven framework built on decades of research.
The Nested Egg Builder is an essential tool for making your thoughts visible, adaptable, and shareable to ensure deep understanding.
Brain Breaks, Get Your Brain Breaks
A brain break is just what it sounds like - a break from whatever learners are focusing on. Typically, learners are sitting down in classrooms as they are absorbing new information. This forces the blood to flow to the buttocks and thigh region. But for executive function, the brain needs this blood.
Brain Breaks during work time have been shown to have true benefits including reduced stress & frustration, and an increase in attention and productivity! A Brain Break clears the working memory before fatigue, distraction, or lack of focus set in. By standing up to do a Brain Break, you achieve two things:
- You engage the cerebellum for balance and movement.
- You get the blood flowing in the cerebral regions.
Multiple Perspective Ideas & Prompts
Any time you're presenting new information to an audience, it is essential to connect your Big Idea to all four lobes of the brain. When building a presentation for an audience, a Lobe-A-Phobe is someone who only engages one or two lobes of the brain when they present their Big Idea. In other words, they're not using the brain to get their Big Idea across!
Each Lobe-A-Phobe card has a unique prompt designed to engage different lobes in the brain, so your next presentation, lesson, course, lecture, sales pitch, friendly advice, speech, report, focused conversation, strategy session, ideation, is deeply understood. When someone experiences the Big Idea through multiple perspectives on that Big Idea, they, and you, gain deep understanding.
