It is personal face-to-face social interactions that advances Theory of Mind, empathy, emotional intelligence, and cultural and social knowledge.

The capacity to think about someone else’s thinking is associated with theory of mind. This is not achieved through social media use, or any form technology use. This is achieved by interacting with others in a regular, constant face-to-face manner. It is this process, of acting with others that advances theory of mind.

Theory of mind “allows us to take into account someone else’s perspective in order to attribute opinions, feelings, attitudes, and intentions to others” (Arrowsmith-Young, 2012, p. 92).

This type of awareness is critical in a person’s life because it leads to successful social interactions that then help us to “make predictions about others’ behaviors” (p. 92). This awareness can also help us to “decide which of these perspectives (self or other), we should take in a particular situation (depending on the desired outcome)” (pp. 92-93).

Arrowsmith-Young (2012) points out that someone with problems in this part of the brain will tend to “either miss or misinterpret others’ intentions” (p. 93), to “misunderstand how his or her own behavior affects others” (p. 93), and to have a “difficult time with social reciprocity” (p. 93).

In addition to this, there will also be the added burden of communication, as even though the right hemisphere has all of these aforementioned capacities, including the capacity to plan, “think, process, and feel” (p. 91), the right hemisphere of the brain “cannot [according to Arrowsmith-Young] communicate through language” (Arrowsmith-Young, 2012, p. 91).

One therefore needs to be alert to any ongoing presenting behaviours in which a student, or anyone for that matter, may be having a difficult time in presenting ongoing positive social behaviours.

As Arrowsmith-Young (2012) points out, someone with problems in the right prefrontal cortex of the brain will often tend to not only “miss or misinterpret others’ intentions” (p. 93), but they will also tend to not understand “how [their] behavior affects others” (p. 93), which means they could also have a “difficult time with social reciprocity” (p. 93).

About

I have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, which was undertaken at Central Queensland University Australia, under the supervision of Professor Ken Purnell. My thesis focussed on the success of my pioneering complex neuroplasticity focussed acquired brain injury rehabilitation therapy.

The therapy is now referred to as CBBMMT (Complex Brain-Based Multi-Movement Therapy). My thesis has also added two new descriptors into the lexicon of human biology; these are neurofluidity and hólos.

Neurofluidity are the neurological processes that lead to the condition of brain plasticity. Hólos is a descriptor which, perhaps for the first time (to the best of my research and understanding), provides a category which unifies the brain and the body with a single word. Hólos derives from the Greek: ?λο? ? ? ólos. The English word holistic is derived from hólos. Holistic and hólos offer the same classification. Holistic and hólos incorporate the concept of holism.

I am the developer and author of Responsibility Theory?, which is an applied immersive brain-based systematic self-talk sequence learning neuroeducation program.

The program utilises the brain’s neuroplasticity potential that empowers and transforms the lives of individuals as they learn how to cognitively and intellectually enhance their potential by and through the process and the application of the ten powerful brain-base precepts of Responsibility Theory which helps the individual to reflectively pause and purposefully focus, which helps the individual to advance their conscious intellectual potential.

The aim of this process is, with self-directed conscious determination to intrinsically action positive constructive choices, endeavours and behaviors which leads to personal and associated affirmative social outcomes

The literature and research in neuroscience and brain plasticity informs: “Everyday thought, especially when used in a deliberate and determined, consciously focussed, self-motivating immersive systematic self-talk sequence learning process, that this immersive methodical conscious sequence learning action, will, fire and rewire neurological connections.

Responsibility Theory? is suitable as a presentation for primary and secondary schools, as well as for colleges, corporations, organisation or any community or social collective that is genuinely interested in advancing personal and social wellbeing; by constructively and systematically teaching and assisting individuals, groups, or larger social collectives how to constructively deal with risky and negative personal lifestyle choices, and also knowing how to successfully and assertively deal with all forms of negative third-party or even negative peer group influences.

I am the initiator of NeuroNumeracy?, an intensive self-motivating and transformative neuroscience brain-based numeracy learning program for children, the purpose of which is to enhance their self-belief and their skills, knowledge and understanding of the four operations in mathematics.

In addition to my PhD I have completed three Master of Education degrees (one in Education; one in Guidance and Counselling; and one in Leadership and Management). I have also completed two Bachelor degrees (Physical Education and Psychology) and five Post-Graduate awards (Education; Sports Science; Exercise and the Sports Sciences; Health Counselling; and Communication Studies).

I have presented Responsibility Theory? at international and national Australian Conferences. The HICE (Hawaiian International Conference on Education) 2018. Edu-TECH 2018 FutureSchools Conference (Melbourne) and the Edu-TECH 2018 Sydney Conference. I presented at the 2019 IAFOR International Conference on Education – Hawaii (IICE Hawaii); the 2019 HICE Conference in Hawaii; the 2019 FutureSchools Conference in Melbourne.

I hold the position of Adjunct Lecturer School of Education and the Arts at Central Queensland University Australia.

I am a daily traditional Goju Karate martial arts practitioner, of many decades, and a former sports karate Australian champion. “Every day one kata.”
