PSYC 142 Study Guide - Final Guide: Philosophy Of Mind, Emergentism, Emergence
Document Summary
What question would you ask someone to decide what theory they believed in: epiphenomenalism: mental events are caused by physical events in the brain, but have no effects on physical events. Ex: when you turn on a light (physical), it produces heat (mental), but that heat has no effect on the function of the light bulb in making light: emergentism: intelligent properties can have emergent properties from simple rules.
