Ok, I just read Tom's long post and realize that there is a misunderstanding
about what I am saying. Did I say that the clinical report was a CHALLENGE to
PCT? If so, it is not what I meant. I meant that here is a perfect
opportunity for PCT to get involved--I knew when I first saw the videotape of
the patient that it was a problem at the Relationship level--just like Tom
said. So....since we believe it is a Relationship problem and we know that
there is a bilateral lesion to the superior parietal area, then lets start
mapping our hierarchy. We cannot map the hierarchy without neuroscience
data--that seems very clear--how else will you know where some function occurs
unless you know about what happens when areas are disabled (or brain scan
data)?
I don't think we disagree very much --I think we agree alot. My only
disagreement is to think that you can do it ONLY topo-down. You gotta have
both. The bottom limits the top ad the top inform the bottom.
I'd write alot more but I should have quit an hour ago.
