Relating the Comprehension Ability to the Neocortex Verbal Areas: A Brief Study | Chapter 15 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 1

 The goal of this article is to summarise how Donald Hebb's discoveries regarding how the neocortex multilayer neural networks receive and store information help explain the relationship between our sensory perceptions and the words we use to describe them. Summary of how Paul Chauchard's findings on the relationship between intelligence and the density of the synaptic network of interconnections generated during infancy in the linguistic sections of the neocortex align with Hebb's findings. Summary of how the automatic correlation mechanics of the neocortex neural network allow the generalisation ability discovered by Ivan Pavlov as being due to the use of articulated languages, and how it also explains why Alfred Korzybski's reasoning method is so effective in helping to establish a clearer understanding of our environment, with a summary description of the reasoning method.

Advancement on the Mechanics of Conceptual Thinking | Chapter 4 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 6

 The knowledge accrued about the implication of the limbic system's internal mechanisms in the production of articulate expression, from which conceptual thought arises, is now advanced to the extent where it is now possible to formulate a simple mechanic of conceptual thinking. Definition of conceptual thought mechanics resulting from sequences of contact between the limbic system and the neocortex verbal regions. Definition of the increase in the level of attention to complete active awareness when the amygdala is activated by a feeling of uneasiness due to a verbal stimulus, accompanied by an active cogitation phase involving the verbal areas of the neocortex, resulting in the strengthening of a synaptic arborescence corresponding to a changed verbal sequence in the neocortex by the hippocampus that eliminates or decreases. Description of the capacity to generalise resulting from the use of articulate languages, gained through education, from which logical thought emerges and the collectively intelligible mathematical language that also evolves through education in certain individuals to varying degrees. Definition of the mode of mathematical thought whose engrams are found in areas not overlapping verbal areas of the neocortex.
