| Exactly, bluebayou. Here's the next paragraph of Liberman's remarks concerning logic/intuitive:
"And Rev. Wright’s version of the left brain vs. right brain dichotomy is exaggerated, as most talk about the cerebral hemispheres is, but it’s also idiosyncratic. The usual exaggerated (not to say fabricated) functional opposition does oppose logic and intuition, but it also generally lines up language in the left brain vs. vision in the right brain, rather than Rev. Wright’s left-hemisphere “object oriented” vs. right-hemisphere “subject” or “person” oriented. In fact, there’s plenty of object-related neural processing that tends to be right-lateralized, such as visualization of mental rotation; and plenty of person-related neural processing that tends to be left-lateralized, such as the ability to speak."
docmom, I think you agree it's more complex than Wright presented it, but I also think you're ascribing a greater understanding of the issues to Wright, either than he actually has, or at least greater than he presented in his talk. |
