Document Summary
Slide 2: consciousness is the closest thing to the soul. Working memory is part of consciousness we have already learned. Ex: how many windows are there in your house?" you will image the house and count the windows inside your head, and you use your working memory. We think ourselves as relatively constant, but that isn"t fully the case- for example, you are different from when you were 12, but both today and then are part of your self. Materialists have considered control with consciousness, meaning that behavior is part of our own. Criminals say that their behavior was caused by their upbringing, but not everyone believes that. Many of our behavior is considered habitual and becomes subconscious, but it"s not devious. The battle between coke and pepsi; when you buy pepsi time after time, you build a strong habit in which your muscle memory will get you the pepsi without thinking about it.
