TWO BIG IDEAS 1. DUALISM: Pythagoras, Plato, Augustine, psyche, nefesh, and Aristotle. Descartes ( ) introduces “modern” dualism setting the stage for the development of both physiology and psychology as well as the role of “mechanism.” But, any such concept is incompatible with a natural science of behavior. 2. ASSOCIATIONISM: Aristotle again (1) contiguity, (2) similarity, (3) contrast. Some form of association theory (or denial of it) as a proposed mechanism is the basis of modern learning and memory theory.

The Descartian Agenda Body as machine, reflexes and involuntary behaviors: The development of experimental neurophysiology and the work of Russian reflexologists—Sechnov, Pavlov, Bekhterev. Soul as mind: voluntary behavior and the British empiricists—introspection and the role of association.

DESCARTES’ LEGACY INTERACTIVE MIND-BODY DUALISM LED TO PARALLEL TRACKS OF INVESTIGATION MIND: METHOD OF INTROSPECTION ISSUE: EPISTEMOLOGY—WHAT DO WE KNOW AND HOW DO WE KNOW IT? PRINCIPAL DIRECTION: EMPIRICISM (ROLE OF EXPERIENCE) AND ASSOCIATION AS MECHANISM GOAL: TO DEVELOP LAWS OF ASSOCIATION BODY: EXPERIMENTAL METHOD: BASED ON STRICTLY MATERIALIST ASSUMPTIONS ISSUE: REDUCTION OF ALL BEHAVIOR TO PHYSIOLOGY PRINCIPAL DIRECTION: EXPLORATION OF REFLEXES; REFLEX ARC AS MECHANISM GOAL: DEVELOP LAWS OF THE REFLEX

REFLEXES OF THE BRAIN (1863) Ivan Sechenov “Thought is generally believed to be the cause of behavior… [but this is] the greatest of falsehoods: [for] the initial cause of all behavior lies, not in thought, but in external sensory stimulation.”

CONDITIONED REFLEXES (1927) Ivan Pavlov “The entire mechanism of thinking consists of the elaboration of elementary associations and the subsequent formulation of chains of association.” “The naturalist must consider only one thing: what is the relation of this or that external reaction of the animal to the phenomena of the external world.” “…natural science is under obligation to determine only the precise connection..between a natural phenomenon and the response of the living organism to that phenomenon…”
