Document Summary
Includes thoughts, perceptions, experiences of the world, and self-awareness. Dualism-philosophical belief that reality consists of two distinct entities: mind and matter (body) Rene descartes-> consciousness depends on a substance distinct from physical matter, since it doesn"t have properties that ascribe to matter. Materialism-philosophical belief that reality can be known only through an understanding of the physical world which the mind is a part. Physicalism- everything that exists is no more extensive than its physical properties. Perceptual representations and memories compete for representation in the global workspace, the one that wins is more accessible by processes including memory, high-level decision making, and verbal report. Neural correlates- minimal neuronal mechanisms required to produce a specific conscious precept. Blindsight- ability to interact behaviourally with objects while remaining consciously unaware of them. Consolidation-conversion of information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Biological rhythms- organisms that are adapted in the cycles in the environment.
