Human nature without a soul
Rapid developments in neuroscience over the past four decades continue to receive wide media attention. Each new reported advance points to ever tightening links between mind and brain. For many centuries, what is today called ‘mind-talk’ was familiar as ‘soul-talk’. Since, for some, the possession of a soul is what makes us human, the challenges of cognitive neuroscience directly address this. This paper affords the non-specialist a brief overvi…
Minds and Brains
The accelerating pace of research in neuropsychology in particular, and in neuroscience in general, has reopened discussion of perennial questions about the relation of mind and brain. Many of the findings point to an ever tightening link between mind and brain. At the same time, the nature of this link is far from understood. Trends in current research are reviewed in historical perspective, and some tentative conclusions and pointers to the fut…
Use of Criterial Measures in Animal Discrimination Learning Experiments
Findings from 2 experiments are described in which rats were overtrained on black/white and conditional discriminations. on the former, performance improved up to criterion and thereafter was maintained at a high level. on the latter, more difficult task, behaviour was less consistent and performance deteriorated with overtraining. A relation between elimination of position responses and task difficulty is suggested, and implications for the use …
