Year 10 Explore the Brain and Neuropsychology

Back to News ListPreviousNext

This term, our Year 10 GCSE Psychology students have embarked on an exciting Capture1new topic: 

The Brain and Neuropsychology – How Does Your Brain Affect You?

Students have been learning about the structure and function of key areas of the brain, including:

  • The temporal lobe, responsible for processing auditory information and memory.

  • The occipital lobe, which handles visual processing.

  • The frontal lobe, involved in decision-making, problem-solving, and controlling behaviour.

  • The parietal lobes, which process sensory information like touch and spatial awareness.

  • The cerebellum, critical for coordination, balance, and fine motor skills.

To bring this complex subject to life, students have been creating their own 3D models of the human brain. This hands-on activity has helped them visualise and understand the different structures and their functions. We encourage parents and carers to ask students about their models and what they have discovered about how these brain areas connect to influence human behaviour.

Understanding the brain is a fascinating journey, and we look forward to exploring how neuropsychology helps explain everyday experiences and behaviours.

Stay tuned for more updates as our students delve deeper into the captivating topics of GCSE Psychology.

Thanks
