Abstract

In this chapter, I describe evidence relating early lateralization and developing cognition. Then, I present my model on the topic. It involves the present Neo-Piagetian model and the concept of activation–inhibition coordination in left hemisphere specialization. I apply the model to relations between ontogenesis and phylogenesis, and speculate on the evolutionary sequences that have led to contemporary peoples.
