Bird's eye view of the Topographic organization

In relation to students in the classroom, if "Christopher Reeves" is believed to be in the front part of the nervous system, then I understand that the interpretation of feelings is what happens in the upper part of the nervous system. If one pinches Chris he cannot feel it because the system is not giving him an interpretation of the action. Pain is a feeling which is in the upper part of the nervous system.

Now does this mean that students that do not follow directions the first time given have a disconnection in their nervous system that implies that the auditory neurons are not sending the message or information through for any action to follow? Is their cognitive unconscious disabled or disjointed etc? Or is it the time gap for the I-function to respond to the stimulus that is causing the slow response? Or better still have they turned their I-function on very actively?
