Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu Nov 30, 2004 3 facts
claimGeneralized quantum approaches exist that address psychological phenomena using formal features of quantum theory, such as non-commuting operations or non-Boolean logic, without utilizing the full framework of quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.
referenceKhrennikov, A.Yu. published the paper 'Classical and quantum mechanics on information spaces with applications to cognitive, psychological, social and anomalous phenomena' in Foundations of Physics in 1999.
perspectiveThe investigation of mental quantum features prioritizes the study of psychological phenomena as a necessary precondition for understanding their neural correlates, rather than reducing them immediately to neural activity.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu Nov 30, 2004 3 facts
claimQuantum-inspired approaches to consciousness utilize formal features from quantum physics to address psychological phenomena without requiring the full framework of quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.
claimResearchers studying mental quantum features have addressed seven specific psychological phenomena: decision processes, order effects, bistable perception, learning, semantic networks, quantum agency, and super-quantum entanglement correlations.
claimThe investigation of mental quantum features is motivated by the rationale that the detailed study of psychological phenomena is a necessary precondition for understanding their neural correlates.

claimThe 'two culture' divide between the humanities and the natural sciences resulted from the experimental method of natural sciences proving inappropriate for addressing social and psychological phenomena.
Hard Problem of Consciousness | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy iep.utm.edu 1 fact
claimPsychological phenomena such as learning, reasoning, and remembering are explained by their functional roles, where a system is defined by its ability to alter behavior appropriately in response to environmental stimulation.

claimDavid Chalmers claims that consciousness is not functionally definable, unlike other biological and psychological phenomena.
Self-Consciousness - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu Jul 13, 2017 1 fact
claimJohn McDowell (1997) argues that there are no 'identity-free relations' to which a person's identity could be reducible, meaning psychological phenomena like memory cannot be characterized without invoking the identity of the person experiencing them.
Evolutionary psychology - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org 1 fact
claimEvolutionary psychologists maintain that verification of their hypotheses is possible, despite the challenges involved in testing ideas about the evolutionary origins of psychological phenomena.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu Nov 30, 2004 1 fact
claimThe term 'quantum cognition' refers to a research area that addresses psychological phenomena using formal features employed in quantum physics without involving the full framework of quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.
