A General Theory of Psychological Relativity and Cognitive Evolution

This paper presents the first theory unifying brain, behavior, and psychology, utilizing a reference point of cognitive accuracy and rational bias. The theory integrates the tenets of rational-emotive behavior theory and cognitive behavioral science with our current general knowledge of brain functioning, tying together emotions, brain function, and cognition. Cognitive thought processes are shown to depend on cognitive accuracy, including accurate information, thought process accuracy, and time-space continuum accuracy. The evolution of the human frontal lobes is compared to the evolution of our thought processes in terms of cognitive accuracy. Generally our thinking is obstructed by cultural belief systems that tend to rely on rigid inaccurate irrational thinking. These learned irrational thought processes lag behind the ability of our frontal lobes to utilize flexible accurate rational thinking. Our irrational thinking inhibits accurate executive functioning which in turn diminishes our rational thought and behaviors, resulting in fewer rational outcomes, and promoting further irrational thought and behavior in the future. These irrational processes are passed down as cultural belief systems from generation to generation. The theory offers a critical reference point for implementation of cognitive accuracy based on our current knowledge of general brain functioning. Using accurate information with accurate cognitive processing in a timely response to situations enhances our rational thinking and behavior, leading to improved adaptability, harmony, and survival.
