Psyche was used to refer to the soul, spirit, or mind. Aristotle theory of memory suggested that memories are the result of 3 principles of association, similarity, contrast and contiguity. Descaretes famously argues for the dualism of mind and body, that the mind and body ere separate and fundamentally different, with the mind being immaterial and the province of. He also believed that processes and functions such as memory, perception, dreaming, and emotions were properties of the body, and thus open to being understood in naturalistic terms. **wilhelm wundt(1832-1920) physiology informs us out those phenomena that we perceive by our external senses, in psychology, the person looks upon himself a from within and tris to explain the interrelations of those processes that this internal observation discloses.
