The Cerebral Cortex This part of the brain is used for higher level thinking.
It processes thousands of bits of information per minute It is the slowest of the three levels of the brain Students must be operating in this level if learning is to take place Therefore the learning environment must be absent of
threats, so that the brain doesn't "downshift" into its more primitive parts. This is the home of academic learning.
