Dear Don:
Thank you for joining the list and taking on a question or two. I would like
to ask for clarification on two points. Although your distinctions address
visceral, behavioral and reflective design, your explanations of the terms
visceral, behavioral and reflective seems to map to McLean's physiological
model of brain stem, limbic system, and neocortex and even to the
evolutionary model of brain development to some degree. Do your distinctions
have physiological correlates or should they be understood simply as useful
categories for thinking about design that are based on other kinds of
evidence or arguments? Also, since visceral and reflective thought also
mediate behavior where do you draw your lines or your fuzzy limits.
Many thanks for your help,
Charles Burnette
