978-3-319-29467-4 (ISBN)
A more nuanced perspective on cognition, behavior, personality, and pathology.
Mind/brain.
It is explained that mental activity is not possible without concepts/memory structures that exist in the brain and result from perceptual learning. Core mental activities including thinking, reasoning, and judgment are described as components of self-regulation and in terms of interacting neural systems.
This framework also leads to a more specific and less stigmatizing system for classifying and diagnosing mental illnesses.
This concise volume:
- Introduces the S-O-R (stimulus-organism-response) model of mental activity.
- Recasts mental processes as neuro-mental processes.
- Provides empirical evidence for the neural basis for judgments.
- Addresses ongoing mind/brain questions such as whether thinking is unconscious.
