This book, a companion to William R. Uttal's earlier work on macrotheories theories of mind-brain relationships, reviews another set of theories--those based on microneuronal measurements. Microneural theories maintain the integrity of individual neurons either in isolation or a…
In 1988, Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn challenged connectionist theorists to explain the systematicity of cognition. In a highly influential critical analysis of connectionism, they argued that connectionist explanations, at best, can only inform us about details of the neural …
The saying "It's a jungle out there" refers to a competitive environment in which you'd better hone your skills if you hope to survive. And you'd better do what you can to keep a roof over your head, food in your belly, a leaf on your loins, and a mate who'll help pass on your g…
Studies in neuroscience demonstrate that a focus on mindfulness meditation and contemplative spiritual practice has the capacity to increase our non-anxious awareness and significantly lower our stress. Not only is this finding of immediate importance for pastoral counselors and…
This work offers an account of the evolution of multiple memory systems of the brain. It relates the neurobiological properties of dedicated and elaborate systems to their neuropsychological counterparts and accounts for the phenomenology of memory.
This mongraph will offer a theoretical account of the evolution of multiple memory systems of the brain. The author conceptualizes these memory systems from both behavioral and neurobiological perspectives, guided by three related principles. First, that our understanding of a w…
