| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| why is it important to develop all parts of the brain and complete all stages of development? | you will compensate the rest of your life - if you miss a stage you will have to be without it the rest of your life |
| what must be present for learning to occur? - first half | 1) sensory input (see, smell, taste, hear, touch) 2) personal emotional connection (how do you feel about sensory input) 3) movement (put learning into action) 4) release of neurotransmitters (brain response to movement) |
| what must be present for learning to occur? - second half | 5) take action based on experience (choice-making) 6) you move to learn - moving is essential to learning |
| what are motor patterns that develop in utero and after birth to help with survival and developmental needs while initiating brain growth? - first half | 1) motor patterns that help with survival and initiate brain growth 2) activated by sensory triggers 3) involuntary patterns disappear as voluntary movement develops |
| what are motor patterns that develop in utero and after birth to help with survival and developmental needs while initiating brain growth? - second half | 4) activation and subsequent integration of reflexes build the lower brain and limbic system 5) strong foundation makes possible higher-order thinking skills |
| why is it important for infants to engage in playtime on the floor, in a prone position? | 1) constraints may cause reflexes to be restrained 2) vestibular system 3) sensorimotor system 4) for optimal brain growth babies need time on floor |
| briefly describe the scientific influences on the creation of the BrainDance | based on 1styear of movement patterns-movement replicates neurodevelopmental patterns-exercise series that keeps brain and body strong and healthy throughout life-short standing sequence that quickly moves through 8 movement patterns in developmental orde |
| who was Irmgard Bartenieff? | ) dancer/physical therapist/scholar ) founded Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies ) applied Laban's theories and principles of human development to her work with polio patients and dancers |
| who was Irmgard Bartenieff? - continued | ) created a physical reeducation method that develops movement efficiency and expressiveness |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "breath" - part 1 | ) oneness ) breath is the underpinning for all movement and thought ) deep breathing increases the flow of oxygen to the brain, releases carbon dioxide, and hydrates cells |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "breath" - part 2 | ) bring awareness to the importance of breath for ease and flow of movement reduces stress and enlivens brain and body ) breath is the foundation for all learning and emotional stability |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "tactile" - part 1 | ) sensing ) skin is the largest sense organ ) variety of touch on skin develops bonding, sensory integration, proprioception, and appropriate behavior ) tension masks sensation |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "tactile" - part 2 | ) a refined sense of touch enables you to be comfortable in your work space and with closeness to others, allowing you to access your environment |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "core-distal" - part 1 | ) twoness ) strong sense of self and an awareness of others ) curling in toward the navel creates a feeling of safety and protection while bringing awareness and engagement to the core for correct alignment and support |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "core-distal" - part 2 | ) reaching out with distal ends connect you to the world beyond yourself and creates full-body extension, establishing your Kine sphere ) strengthening the core strengthens alignment and balance |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "head-tail" - part 1 | ) lively spine ) being aware of the interactive relationship between the head and tail leads to a full and lively use of both ends of the spine for propelling you through space with ease both on and off balance |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "head-tail" - part 2 | ) release of the head and tail creates an open path for the central nervous system to fully function ) spinal movement supplies needed nourishment to the spine and brain in the cerebral spinal fluid |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "upper-lower" - part 1 | ) grounding ) grounding and stabilizing the lower half by yielding the weight of the body into the earth allows the upper half to be mobile and reach into space, relation to people and objects |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "upper-lower" - part 2 | ) grounding and stabilizing the upper half allows the lower half to become mobile ) mobile body halves are used for both function and expression )grounded body halves encourage emotional stability as well as physical stability |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "body-side" - part 1 | ) polarities ) opposite sides of the body and brain hemispheres are articulated and strengthened ) side dominance is developed through the articulation of the body sides - supports automatic functional movement to free up the brain for more complex thinki |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "body-side" - part 2 | ) horizontal eye tracking is strengthened |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "cross-lateral" - part 1 | ) connecting body parts from opposite quadrants creates complex three-dimensional dancing and robust thinking )crossing the midline of the body connects both sides of the brain through the corpus collosum, essential for developing higher-order thinking |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "cross-lateral" - part 2 | skills ) strengthen vertical eye tracking and binocular vision |
| briefly describe the BrainDance pattern "vestibular" | ) first sense ) first one to develop in utero ) moving off balance followed by stabilization develops your balance system providing you with necessary information about motion and gravity |
