Frontal Lobe
Function; associated with executive functions, decision-making, emotional regulation, and personality.
Integration in Counselling; plays a crucial role in self-regulation and emotional control. In counselling, it helps individuals manage their emotions, make informed decisions, and set goals for personal growth.
Parietal Lobe
Function; involved in sensory perception and spatial awareness.
Integration in Counselling; spatial awareness and sensory perception contribute to body awareness and grounding techniques. This awareness can help people connect with their physical sensations and better understand the mind-body connection.
Temporal Lobe
Function; responsible for auditory processing and memory.
Integration in Counselling; memory recall is vital for exploring past experiences in counselling. The Temporal Lobe's involvement allows individuals to retrieve and process memories, facilitating the examination of past events and their impact on emotions and behaviours.
Occipital Lobe
Function; primarily responsible for visual processing.
Integration in Counselling; visualisation and imagery can be powerful tools in counselling. The Occipital Structure's involvement allows individuals to create mental images, explore perspectives, and gain insights into their thoughts and emotions.
Limbic Lobe (inc the Amygdala and Hippocampus)
Function; involved in emotions, memory, and the processing of rewards and punishments.
Integration in Counselling; emotional processing is a key aspect of counselling, and the limbic system, particularly the amygdala and hippocampus, contributes to the recognition, understanding, and regulation of emotions.
Frontal Lobe
Infancy and Early Childhood; the Frontal Lobe develops rapidly during these stages, contributing to the growth of executive functions such as impulse control, attention regulation, and motor planning.
Adolescence; maturation continues, influencing higher-order cognitive functions, emotional regulation, and decision-making. This period is crucial for the development of identity and long-term goal setting.
Parietal Lobe
Infancy and Early Childhood; the Parietal Lobe is involved in sensory and spatial processing. During this stage, the development of sensory and motor skills, as well as spatial awareness, is significant.
Childhood and Adolescence; fine and gross motor skills continue to refine, and spatial processing becomes more sophisticated. The Parietal Structure supports academic skills and coordination during school-age years.
Temporal Lobe
Infancy and Early Childhood; the Temporal Lobe contributes to early language development and auditory processing. Formation of basic memory functions begins.
Adolescence; continued language development, refinement of memory, and the ability to understand and interpret complex auditory information are notable aspects of Temporal Structure development.
Occipital Lobe
Infancy and Early Childhood; the Occipital Lobe is vital for visual processing. During this stage, the brain undergoes significant development in visual acuity, colour perception, and object recognition.
Childhood and Adolescence; visual skills continue to mature, supporting academic activities and the interpretation of complex visual information.
Limbic Lobe(inc the Amygdala and Hippocampus)
Throughout Lifespan; the limbic system, involved in emotional regulation, memory, and social behaviour, undergoes development across the entire lifespan.
Adolescence; emotional regulation and the ability to manage stress become increasingly refined. The limbic system plays a crucial role in social and emotional development during adolescence.
