Abstract:

Finds a statistically significant relation between top-down concept-mapping and the right cerebral hemisphere, and between bottom-up concept-mapping and the right hemisphere. Correlates scores on concept-mapping with scores on hemispheric tests, and compares the scores of the subjects on hemispheric tests with the preferable style of concept-mapping. Concludes that top-down concept-mapping, the right hemisphere, and Frege’s logic are mutually related. Similarly, bottom-up concept-mapping, the left hemisphere, and Russell’s logic are mutually related.
