I've read similar things in a few psych text books and from some psych journal articles, if you really want to read about learning I'm sure I can throw together some very dry material for you to read... then again, i'm a social-psych/social philosophy kind of guy so I'm not as interested in the brain as some of my fellow social science students.

Please don't act like this is some new concept that is radical and unproven. My first instructor at SBG followed this philosophy, I just went to a seminar with BB Jeff Curran who says and does the same thing. It's not as if you don't do a left armbar as much as right you'll just stop and have a seizure when the left arm presents itself. You can't have an awesome armbar on one side and just be a blank on the other. Everybody has a favorite side, and as I said, there is only so many hours in the day...I, and many others tend to retain techniques better if we focus on one side. If you have the mat time or the good muscle memory to train both sides and get both up to a high standard, great for you.

I think Saulo says something similar in his dvds about the x pass. That you learn the technique for your best side and use the invert technique for the other side. Although I think he may be only referring to guard passes.

I think all people can think in all 4 types, some better than others but everyone has that capacity. I'm probably best at approaching things procedurally and collaboratively.
