memory. A pet dog may have "pleasure" emotions associated with its memory, while the dog down the street may have "danger" emotional tags. The sight of
each dog's image may trigger the emotions, or thinking the emotions may trigger the images.
Emotional tags learned very young can become the basis of phobias, racial prejudice, and tribal warfare, and are very difficult to change in adults.
The Creative "Yes" area
The central frontal lobe creates new ideas and patterns from the raw material in memory and senses.
Creativity is a talent that is based on the strength of other talents. The field of creativity depends upon which patches this area is strongly connected to, such
as art, dance, music, architecture, etc. A person with this area strongly connected to the face memory patch may be good at organizing social relationships.
This area is also the "Yes" or "Go" centre. It's job is to think up an action (which may or may not be creative). People who have a strong Go centre will tend
to say "Why not?" and be the first to do wild or dangerous things. People with weak Go centres will tend to be lazy and unmotivated.
The "No" or Inhibition area
Inhibition is in the lower frontal lobe. It's job is to inhibit the "Go" centre, thus striking a balance, and protecting people from acting in a way that can lead to
danger. It is a self-protective talent. This is where we learn what is right and wrong behaviour, store our conscience, and learn social manners (correct
behaviour).
If this is naturally weak, or not well developed, then a person will have low inhibitions, and perhaps anti-social or criminal behaviour, which may put the
person in danger.
A person with a strong inhibition talent will tend to think "no" to new ideas and suggestions, thereby over-protecting themselves. Unfortunately, this aspect
can also bother other people, such as teenage children or employees, who are excited with new ideas or plans.
Animals that stay in groups will have the most need for learning inhibitions, and therefore be the most trainable. Individuals in a pack of wolves or dogs, a
group of apes, or a tribe of humans, need to learn "social behaviour" to survive well. Solitary animals such as house cats don't need to learn many inhibitions.
This can explain why dogs become so sociable and trainable, while house cats can't be trained well (lions in Africa live in groups, so may be more trainable
than house cats).
