One theory of why lateralization of function evolved is that there are two fundamentally different modes of thinking,each requiring different neural circuitry.These two modes of thinking are referred to as
A) positive and negative.
B) scientific and nonscientific.
C) logical and illogical.
D) synthetic and analytic.
E) motor and sensory.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theory suggests that the two modes of thinking are synthetic and analytic, which require different neural circuitry, leading to the evolution of lateralization of function in the brain. Option D is the correct choice that represents these two modes of thinking. Option A is incorrect as positive and negative are not modes of thinking. Option B is incorrect as scientific and nonscientific are not modes of thinking, but rather approaches to inquiry. Option C is incorrect as logical and illogical are not comprehensive enough to capture the complexity of the two modes of thinking. Option E is incorrect as motor and sensory do not represent modes of thinking, but rather sensory and motor functions.
