The ''I'' of the selves

Journal/Book: New Idea Psychol. 1996; 14: The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford, England OX5 1GB. Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd. 269-279.

Abstract: This paper presents a theory of the ''I'' and its relationship to consciousness and cognition, which integrates its relationship to the selves and the person. When cerebral neural systems are unable to automatically process information, they become disequilibrated. The person's ''I'' is the experiential display of autoregulatory orientational operations when the limbic brain/frontal lobe matrix becomes disequilibrated. The ''I'' and the sources of disequilibration are displayed in consciousness, facilitating cognition. Cognition and consciousness produce the experience of selves/person in relationship to plans and action programs (behavior) designed to stabilize disequilibrated neural structures.
