The discussion of actual differences in brain functioning brings me to
Vygotsky's discussion of spontaneous v scientific brain processes. In order
for me to understand these different brain processes it is important I use
the developmental framework that measures progress. In step with my previous
post; this framework would measure the movement of a person from 'not p' to
'p'. Now, if we are discussing two different brain functions it is possible
that person could use either functions or both in combination when that
person progresses from 'not p' to 'p'. Then Laszlo a question I have in
order to attempt a clarification of my own thinking regarding your new crisis
paperis the following, when you are discussing ecological factors which
determine a hemisphere of brain function is it similar to Vygotsky's ideas of
scientific v spontaneous thinking? Also, are you a developmentalist and if
not what would you view as your personel theoretical framework?
