Problems of studying human imaginative thinking from the perspective of neuropsychology and cognitive semantics

Abstract

Neuropsychological principles of brain functioning and regularities of its system functioning in the process of studying the mechanisms of formation of imaginative thinking are considered. It is shown that the interaction of the brain hemispheres determines different models of image formation. Energy-informational interaction associated with the functioning of higher mental functions is illustrated by a number of examples, including the formation of prayer and poetic images. A schematic representation of cognitive semiosis in the process of understanding the integral image as a resource of semiotic operations is presented.
