Abstract

This thesis analyzes the neuropsycholinguistic foundations of human thought, the interrelationship between language and thought, and the cultural evolution of human consciousness. The study examines brain-related mechanisms of linguistic activity, functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres, primitive and modern forms of thought, Eastern and Western cognitive styles, and the impact of contemporary information and communication technologies on human consciousness from a neuropsycholinguistic perspective. In addition, the formation processes of mythological thought, magical beliefs, and syllogistic reasoning are explained based on scientific sources.
