Document Summary
An interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence which assumes that thinking is a material computational representational process. A set mental process (cognitive capacities) conscious or unconscious that constitutes thought or inner mental life. Is not the sum of each disciplines contribution but as an integrated approach to specific questions about the mind. Linguistics, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. Psychology should not make references to mental state, and instead just solely be based off of observable behaviors since the mind is too difficult to read or measure. Assumption that psychologists should confine themselves to only studying observable phenomena as well as measurable behavior. Behaviorists believe that psychology is really the science of behavior. All learning is either reinforcement learning or associative learning (classical conditioning) The association between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus is strengthened. The unconditioned stimulus is not neutral for the organism and typically provokes a behavioral response.
