Dear all
Reflection is an important step in students knowledge gathering. But I am wondering what happens in the brain both at neurological level as well as in the parts of the brain involved? Thanks tot your answers .
Bob
These researchers seem to answer your question:
"Self-reflection, compared with reflecting on the other persons and to a major part also compared with perceiving photographs of one-self, was associated with more prominent dorsomedial and lateral prefrontal, insular, anterior and posterior cingulate activations. Whereas some of these areas showed activity in the “other”-conditions as well, self-selective characteristics were revealed in right dorsolateral prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortex for self-reflection; in anterior cingulate cortex for self-perception and in the left inferior parietal lobe for self-reflection and -perception."

For the question of reflection & the brain in a very humble mode i take liberty for my publication under the name '' Brain Power '' for your perusal & also for our valued readers .
