From classical times, it has been known that the human brain has two distinct ways of thinking and knowing. Many scientists, intellectuals, and authors have given names to these two types of intelligence or cognitive styles. Some examples are: |
Left Brain | Right Brain | |
RATIONAL | ||
Maslow | Rational | Intuitive |
Bruner | Rational | Metaphoric |
Koestler | Associative thinking | Bisociative thinking |
De Bono | Vertical | Horizontal or lateral |
Bronowski | Deductive | Imaginative |
Shopenhauer | Objective | Subjective |
Freud | Secondary process | Primary process |
Jung | Causal | Acausel |
Langer | Discursive symbolism | Presentational symbolism |
Neisser | Sequential processing | Multiple processing |
Kubie | Conscious processing | Preconscious processing |
Whatever they are labeled, the effective use of these two distinctive processes is vital for all creative human thought, for the full functions of the human brain. |
