LEARNING does not always happen
automatically for there are many factors that
affect the process of learning, some of these
factors are:
•Characteristics of the learner (includes learner’s
level of intelligence, physiological condition, mindset
and interest)
•Information/Material to be learned (how interesting
and comprehensive the material is)
•Situation in which learning should take place
•(conduciveness of the learning venue, the teacher and
availability of resources)
PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF
LEARNING
Parts of the brain, specifically the cortex, the
cerebrum, amygdala and hippocampus are in-tune
with reality and everything else that happen in the
external world and internal world of the learner
(Carlson, 1995)
THE LIMBIC SYSTEM
1.Cerebrum

brain. Its functions involve mental processes such as
thinking, perceiving, producing and understanding
language.
2. Cerebral Cortex
A higher brain center where most of the information
processing happens. It covers the cerebrum and
involved in functions including
determining intelligence, planning and organization,
and processing sensory information.
3. Hippocampus
Responsible for processing and storing short term
memory.
4. Amygdala
Responsible for emotions, survival instincts and
memory.
