Document Summary

First to develop formal theory about behaviour, about what controls behaviour. Error for claiming that our thoughts resides in the heart, our mind is what control our behaviour and it is in the heart = mentalism. Through observation: heart rate increase under anxiety, therefore heart respond to different situation. The mind is in the ventricles of the brain (the cavity of the brain) Rene descarte: dualis(cid:373): there is (cid:373)i(cid:374)d that you (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t tou(cid:272)h or see (si(cid:373)ilar to the concept of the soul); and the body where the mind resides somewhere in it. Says that the mind resides in the pineal gland. The immaterial (mind) has the ability to make changes in the material (brain); leading to changes in behaviour. Suggest that different part of the brain do different functions. If you were doing too much of something, that part of the region will grow.
