Document Summary
Sensory to motor connection: descartes saw that you take inputs from the outside world and use these signals to alter internal and external behavior. Pineal gland is the only non bilateral structure which control muscles via air from the ventricles that go down through the nerves. But that doesn t actually work because that would mean that someone put into a place of sensory deprivation, a human would have no thoughts a) Like you tummy rumbles, your legs cramp ii. Volition- if a person is to make a decision, how should they make said decision. The point of decision making is not do dumb things b. Consistency-a subject with transitive choices behaves as if he/she placed a numerical value on every option before them and choose the option with the highest value. The risk of the outcome not being favorable to you. Multiply value by probability which produces a decision variable and then choose the highest one.
