| 110971095 | behaviorism | The view that mental states are either equivalent to the behaviors of an organism or the dispositions to behave. | 0 | |
| 110971096 | double-aspect theory | The view that the mind and body are two different aspects of one substance, which is itself neither mental nor physical. (See neutral monism.) | 1 | |
| 110971097 | epiphenomenalism | Refers to a theory that mental events are by-products of physical events. | 2 | |
| 110971098 | functionalism | A theory about the mind, holding that mental states are completely defined as functions of physical processes. | 3 | |
| 110971099 | identity theory | The view that mental events are identical with brain processes. | 4 | |
| 110971100 | interactionism | The theory that the mind and body, though they are two distinct and different substances, nevertheless can causally affect one another. | 5 | |
| 110971101 | mindbody problem | The problem of defining what mind and body are and stating clearly how they are related. Solutions to this problem include the contrasting dualism and monism theories. | 6 | |
| 110971102 | neutral monism | The view that what exists is neither mental nor physical, but neutral with respect to these properties. (See double-aspect theory.) | 7 | |
| 110971103 | parallelism | The theory that mental and physical events parallel one another in a coordinated manner but do not causally interact. | 8 | |
| 110971104 | mind-body problem | Since we commonly think of humans as having minds and bodies, philosophers wonder what precisely are the mind and the body, and how are they related to each other. | 9 | |
| 110971105 | dualistic and monistic | the proposed solutions to the mind-body problem | 10 | |
| 110971106 | Descartes | With whom is the theory of interactionism associated? | 11 | |
| 110971107 | Spinoza | With whom is the double-aspect theory associated? | 12 | |
| 110971108 | Descartes | Who thought that if he could prove that God exists, he could be certain that at least one thing outside his own mind exists? | 13 | |
| 110971109 | a thinking thing. | Descartes believed that his essence consisted solely in the fact that he is: | 14 | |
| 110971110 | Alan Turing | Who devised an operational test for deciding whether a computer can think? | 15 | |
| 110971111 | the best description for the theory of behaviorism | It is a materialistic theory of the mind which asserts that so-called mental events are the same thing as behaviors or dispositions to behave. | 16 | |
| 110971112 | Deeper Blue | It is a reference to the IBM computer that was an improved version of Deep Blue which was the computer beaten by the chess player, Kasparov. | 17 | |
| 110971113 | The Terminal Man | used by Hinrichs as an analogy for the relationship between a brain and a computer | 18 | |
| 110971114 | Hinrichs' understanding about the "hardware and software" of the brain | That a brain's hardware is pivotally changed by its software -- a process that is at the heart of how a brain stores information. | 19 | |
| 110971115 | the relationship between the brain and the mind | Minds are not substances; they are subjective experiences which the brain creates as a window into certain aspects of its own functioning. | 20 | |
| 110971116 | one problem with the identity theory | mental states seem to have characteristics different from those of physical states. | 21 | |
| 110971117 | slogan for functionalism | "The mind is to the brain as a computer's software is to its hardware." | 22 | |
| 110976635 | False | true or false. You a different person every time you have a different thought, feeling, or sensation. | 23 | |
| 110976636 | True | true or false. According to the theory of interactionism, mind and body causally interact in the sense that mental events can cause physical events and physical events can cause mental events. | 24 | |
| 110976637 | False | true or false. Epiphenomenalism asserts that a pre-established harmony exists between mental and physical events so that they run in parallel, like two clocks set to tick together. | 25 | |
| 110976638 | True | true or false. Materialism, or physicalism as it is sometimes called, is a monistic solution to the mind-body problem. | 26 | |
| 110976639 | True | true or false. The double-aspect theory is a monistic theory. | 27 | |
| 110976640 | True | true or false. Descartes noted that mind differs importantly from body in that body is by its nature divisible while mind is indivisible. | 28 | |
| 110976641 | True | true or false. Cartesian dualism is a refined and sophisticated version of Plato's soul-body dualism. | 29 | |
| 110976642 | True | true or false. Eve Browning Cole argues that Descartes' theory of the self has led to sexism insofar as it has reinforced a masculine notion of the self as autonomous, detached, and dominant over matter. | 30 | |
| 110976643 | False | true or false. Eve Browning Cole suggests that dreams themselves are a powerful impetus toward regarding the mind as no different from the physical "container" which it "inhabits." | 31 | |
| 110976644 | False | true or false. According to Eve Browning Cole, Descartes asserted that he never held false beliefs. | 32 | |
| 110976645 | False | true or false. According to Eve Browning Cole, the feminist perspective of Cartesianism encourages the adoption of the view of the body's relationship to the mind as one of unruly bondage or servitude. | 33 | |
| 110976646 | True | true or false. Eve Browning Cole asserts that for a genuinely liberatory philosophy of the body to be developed, women must reclaim in theory and in practice their own physicality, their own sexuality. | 34 | |
| 110976647 | False | true or false. Bruce Hinrichs argues that the brain, which creates the mind, is not a computing machine since the mind is immaterial. | 35 | |
| 110976648 | True | true or false. Bruce Hinrichs tells us that the most recent contributors to the mind-body topic are computer network experts. | 36 | |
| 110976649 | True | true or false. Bruce Hinrichs tells us that when the brain-computer analogy was presented in the 1960s, it was widely accepted. | 37 | |
| 110976650 | False | true or false. According to Hinrichs, brain cells and computer software are virtually identical. | 38 | |
| 110976651 | False | true or false. Hinrichs shows us that brain cells are not crucial for creating consciousness. | 39 | |
| 110976652 | True | true or false. Functionalism holds that mental states are defined completely by their functions or causal relations. | 40 | |
| 110976653 | True | true or false. Central to Searle's argument is a distinction between syntax (the grammatical rules that govern the arrangement of words in a sentence) and semantics (the meaning of a word or a sentence). | 41 | |
| 110976654 | True | true or false. Terry Bison's science fiction fantasy imagines robots visiting a planet to study creatures that have been sending radio messages into outer space. | 42 |
