Evolutionary Psychology | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy iep.utm.edu 2 facts
perspectiveEvolutionary Psychologists argue that the assumption that the human mind is composed mainly of a few content-free cognitive processes is inadequate for explaining human thoughts and feelings.
quoteErmer et al. (2007) stated: "the assumption that the human mind is composed mainly of a few content-free cognitive processes that are 'thought to govern how one acquires a language and a gender identity, an aversion to incest and an appreciation for vistas, a desire for friends and a fear of spiders—indeed, nearly every thought and feeling of which humans are capable' is inadequate."
The Hard Problem of Consciousness | Springer Nature Link link.springer.com 2 facts
claimDavid Chalmers argues that the 'hard problem of consciousness' is not about tracing neuronal processes and their correlation with cognitive processes, but about explaining why physical activity is accompanied by phenomenal experience.

referenceResearch by van der Burght et al. (2023b) demonstrates that a significant correlation between computational models and the human brain does not prove that the models have implemented human cognitive processes.
The cross-cultural study of mind and behaviour: a word of caution link.springer.com Apr 8, 2022 2 facts
perspectiveThe author argues that ethnographic research should aim to identify patterns in models of the mind, similar to how anthropologists identify patterns in kinship systems or how cognitive scientists identify patterns in ways of knowing to indicate variations in basic cognitive processes.
referenceResearch by Nisbett and Masuda (2003) suggests that variations in basic cognitive processes, specifically attention and covariation detection, contribute to different ways of knowing the world.
