Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theory of Mind The theory presented to the public in the following pages is intended to meet a definite need in the present state of human knowledge. It has, namely, been the thought of many who have considered the progress of science, that the next great advance should take place in psychology, and that this advance should be the result of a clarification of that field, chiefly by the modern science of biology. Nevertheless, up to the present time, biology has had an extraordinarily slight influence in this direction, in spite of the ingenuity and talent of those who have labored for it. Biology and psychology still stand almost rigidly apart. But if it has become increasingly plain that the two sciences as they stand will not help each other much, it is scarcely less plain, upon consideration, that psychology is somehow at fault and must somehow be fundamentally broadened. The theory of the instincts here proposed is intended to meet this situation - to show what the fundamental misconception has been, and, in so doing, to break the deadlock and allow the sciences to come together. If it does this (and, if accepted, it seems clear that it does) it opens the way for solid and important advances and discoveries - which, I trust, we shall soon see.

Download or read book Making Minds written by Professor Henry M. Wellman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental psychologists coined the term "theory of mind" to describe how we understand our shifting mental states in daily life. Over the past twenty years researchers have provided rich, provocative data showing that from an early age, children develop a sophisticated and consistent "theory of mind" by attributing their desires, beliefs, and emotions to themselves and to others. Remarkably, infants barely a few months old are able to attend closely to other humans; two-year-olds can articulate the desires and feelings of others and comfort those in distress; and three- and four-year-olds can talk about thoughts abstractly and engage in lies and trickery. This book provides a deeper examination of how "theory of mind" develops. Building on his pioneering research in The Child's Theory of Mind (1990), Henry M. Wellman reports on all that we have learned in the past twenty years with chapters on evolution and the brain bases of theory of mind, and updated explanations of theory theory and later theoretical developments, including how children conceive of extraordinary minds such as those belonging to superheroes or supernatural beings. Engaging and accessibly written, Wellman's work will appeal especially to scholars and students working in psychology, philosophy, cultural studies, and social cognition.

The present work is designed to give form to the maturity of his philosophical thinking. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Child s Discovery of the Mind written by Janet W. Astington and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-year old Emily greets her grandfather at the front door: "We're having a surprise party for your birthday! And it's a secret!" We may smile at incidents like these, but they illustrate the beginning of an important transition in children's lives--their development of a "theory of mind." Emily certainly has some sense of her grandfather's feelings, but she clearly doesn't understand much about what he knows, and surprises--like secrets, tricks, and ties all depend on understanding and manipulating what others think and know. Jean Piaget investigated children's discovery of the mind in the 1920s and concluded that they had little understanding before the age of six. But over the last twenty years, researchers have begun to challenge his methods and revise his conclusions. In The Child's Discovery of the Mind, Janet Astington surveys this lively area of research in developmental psychology. Sometime between the ages of two and five, children begin to have insights into their own mental life and those of others. They begin to understand mental representation--that there is a difference between thoughts in the mind and things in the world, between thinking about eating a cookie and eating a cookie. This breakthrough reflects their emerging capacity to infer other people's thoughts, wants, feelings, and perceptions from words and actions. They come to understand why people act the way they do and can predict how they will act in the future, so that by the age of five, they are knowing participants in social interaction. Astington highlights how crucial children's discovery of the mind is in their social and intellectual development by including a chapter on autistic children, who fail to make this breakthrough. "Mind" is a cultural construct that children discover as they acquire the language and social practices of their culture, enabling them to make sense of the world. Astington provides a valuable overview of current research and of the consequences of this discovery for intellectual and social development.

Download or read book How the Mind Works Classic Reprint written by Cyril Burt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How the Mind Works It is sometimes said that 'we are all of us bound to be psychologists.' The proper study indeed the inevitable study - of mankind is man. Yet for the most part we commonly assume that human nature is a thing about which any reasonable person can safely generalize and reach a satisfactory View. To manufacture or repair a lifeless machine - a motor-car, a microphone, a submarine - expert knowledge is essential. But to follow the workings of the growing mind, to guide its development and correct its faults, for that, we imagine, nothing but common sense is needed. No view could be more mistaken. Common sense alone will no more enable us to fathom the mysteries of the human conscious ness than it has helped us to solve the problems of the atom or the star.

Download or read book The Life of Mind Classic Reprint written by E. Jordan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mind The second principle is, that mind always acts as a whole or as a unity, and is known only as such. This means that whenever the mind acts it is always the whole mindthat acts and never a mere part of it. Thus when I see a tree, my whole mind is centered upon the tree and I am not seeing the tree with only a part Of my mind. When I think Of an Object, that Object is the point around which my mind as a whole is organized. The'n mind can be defined as the active unity which manifests itself in and comprehends the organization of objects in our world. And by Objects we mean primarily those things which we touch and handle and eat and sell in our cultural and practical relations, and not Objects which are supposed by some mystery to be only in or out of the mind and therefore unreal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intuitive Suggestion: A New Theory of the Evolution of Mind There are missing links, too, in the theory of the Evolution of the Mind as well as in the Evolution of the Body and while many authorities are prepared to accept the Evolution of the Mind, generally, along common lines, there are others who cannot reconcile certain faculties and functions as resulting simply from Natural Selection. Darwin believed that, just as the body of man has been evolved by one continuous process from the germ-plasm upwards, so mind, in complete association, has been similarly evolved. Haeckel has maintained the same theory, and laboured, diligently, to support his views. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book How Things Shape the Mind written by Lambros Malafouris and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the different ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body, from prehistory to the present. An increasingly influential school of thought in cognitive science views the mind as embodied, extended, and distributed rather than brain-bound or “all in the head.” This shift in perspective raises important questions about the relationship between cognition and material culture, posing major challenges for philosophy, cognitive science, archaeology, and anthropology. In How Things Shape the Mind, Lambros Malafouris proposes a cross-disciplinary analytical framework for investigating the ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body. Using a variety of examples and case studies, he considers how those ways might have changed from earliest prehistory to the present. Malafouris's Material Engagement Theory definitively adds materiality—the world of things, artifacts, and material signs—into the cognitive equation. His account not only questions conventional intuitions about the boundaries and location of the human mind but also suggests that we rethink classical archaeological assumptions about human cognitive evolution.
