Abstract (sommario):
Peaceful Mind, el proyecto desarrollado en el presente documento, surgió a raíz de la coyuntura actual y la nueva realidad generada a nivel mundial por la pandemia del COVID-19. Cinco meses después de iniciado el estado de emergencia sanitaria en el Perú se pudo identificar que, debido a las medidas de contingencia tomadas, especialmente el aislamiento social obligatorio, muchos familiares y amigos tuvieron que dejar de lado sus tratamientos psicológicos, perjudicando su proceso de mejora de salud mental, un problema que aqueja a muchos países del mundo y no se otorga la importancia debida. Al respecto, la Cruz Roja indicó que “el coronavirus agravó enfermedades mentales ya existentes, mientras que surgieron otras nuevas, lo que limitó aún más el acceso a servicios médicos especializados ante las restricciones económicas por las medidas de cuarentena adoptadas para contener la pandemia”. Frente a ello, nace la idea de crear una plataforma virtual que permita a los usuarios continuar con su tratamiento psicológico, recibiendo orientación psicológica personalizada y terapias alternativas de forma rápida y segura. Con el objetivo de desarrollar el proyecto se llevaron a cabo diversos experimentos que permitieron identificar la aceptación de la idea de negocio. Además, se realizó el planeamiento de los siguientes procesos: operativo, marketing, recursos humanos, responsabilidad social y planeamiento financiero. Los análisis cuantitativos indican que se necesita una inversión de S/ 90,245.98 para dar inicio al proyecto, el cual recuperará su inversión inicial en un periodo de tres años y obtendrá un Valor Actual Neto de S/ 123,469.37.
Peaceful Mind, the project developed in this document, came from the current juncture and new reality caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Five months into the declared global health emergency and mandatory social isolation, we found out many of our friends and relatives had to halt or put aside their psychological appointments and treatments, impairing the advancements or improvement of their mental health. This is a common issue in many countries that are often avoided or underestimated. In this regard, the Red Cross stated that the “Coronavirus worsen the existent mental health illnesses, while new ones emerged, which limited, even more, the access to specialized medical services before the quarantine economical restrictions enforced to containing the pandemic”. Thus was born the idea of creating a virtual platform that allows its users to continue with their psychological treatments, receive personalized psychological orientation, and practice alternative therapies in a fast and safe manner. In order to develop this project, many experiments were carried out to identify the feasibility and acceptance level of this business idea. Additionally, the planning of the following processes was carried out: operational, marketing, human resources, social responsibility, and financial planning. The quantitative analyzes show that an initial investment of S/. 90,245.98 is required to start this project with a VPN of S/123,469.37 and a payback period of three years

Abstract (sommario):
My art distills my relationship to spirituality, digital culture, and the practices and side-effects therein, into a simplified visual language. The work manifests in the form of paintings, drawings, and light sculptures. Meditation and mindfulness training are a large part of my influence and interests. I often wonder how mindfulness practice can be mirrored in my artwork, not only in my process for creating the work, but also with what the resulting imagery does for the viewer. My intention is to provide an art form that invites one to look and experience one’s own capacity to observe, without the need for immediate intellectualization. I wish to offer people an opportunity to focus their attention on the phenomenological sensations that emanate from the art, to take a step back from the conceptual part of the mind, and step into a part that’s more fundamental to our moment to moment reality.

Restrepo, Echavarria Ricardo. "Realism in Mind". Thesis, University of Canterbury. School of Humanities, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/4471.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
The thesis develops solutions to two main problems for mental realism. Mental realism is the theory that mental properties, events, and objects exist, with their own set of characters and causal powers. The first problem comes from the philosophy of science, where Psillos proposes a notion of scientific realism that contradicts mental realism, and consequently, if one is to be a scientific realist in the way Psillos recommends, one must reject mental realism. I propose adaptations to the conception of scientific realism to make it compatible with mental realism. In the process, the thesis defends computational cognitive science from a compelling argument Searle can be seen to endorse but has not put forth in an organized logical manner. A new conception of scientific realism emerges out of this inquiry, integrating the mental into the rest of nature. The second problem for mental realism arises out of non-reductive physicalism- the view that higher-level properties, and in particular mental properties, are irreducible, physically realized, and that physical properties are sufficient non-overdetermining causes of any effect. Kim’s Problem of Causal Exclusion aims to show that the mental, if unreduced, does no causal work. Consequently, given that we should not believe in the existence of properties that do not participate in causation, we would be forced to drop mental realism. A solution is needed. The thesis examines various positions relevant to the debate. Several doctrines of physicalism are explored, rejected, and one is proposed; the thesis shows the way in which Kim’s reductionist position has been constantly inconsistent throughout the years of debate; the thesis argues that trope theory does not compete with a universalist conception of properties to provide a solution; and shows weakness in the Macdonald’s non-reductive monist position and Pereboom’s constitutional coincidence account of mental causation. The thesis suggests that either the premises of Kim’s argument are consistent, and consequently his reductio is logically invalid, or at least one of the premises is false, and therefore the argument is not sound. Consequently, the Problem of Causal Exclusion that Kim claims emerges out of non-reductive physicalism does not force us to reject mental realism. Mental realism lives on.

Abstract (sommario):
The mind as it is found in Aristotle's great work De Anima is a special capacity of the soul. It has both active and passive properties that work together to allow discursive thinking and moral ethical behavior to emerge. This work will look at Aristotle's philosophy of mind, and I will forward a new interpretation of the mind as he understood it: what I call the active and passive mind property dualism. Aristotle's four causes allow for a unique application of a form of dualism that accounts for the ontological status of the mind and the emergence of rational thinking. The importance of potentiality and actuality in Aristotle's metaphysics gives a different sort of formulation of the mind-body problem than is traditionally understood in the philosophy of mind. The first section of this paper will look at the terms used, especially actuality and potentiality. A comparison to Plato's tripartite soul will be given. Next, Aristotle's different kinds of soul and their varied capacities will be explored. Finally, the active mind will be explained as it appears in Book III, chapter 5.

Buttars, Simon. "The epiphenomenal mind". Thesis, University of Warwick, 2003. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/58425/.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
The Epiphenomenal Mind is both a deflationary attack on the powers of the human mind and a defence of human subjectivity. It is deflationary because in the thesis I argue that consciousness is an epiphenomenal consequence of events in the brain. It is a defence of human subjectivity because I argue that the mind is sui generis real, irreducible, and largely an endogenous product (i.e. not dependent on society or its resources). Part I is devoted to arguing that the conscious mind is epiphenomenal. Arguing from, the irreducibility of mental states, the causal closure of the physical domain, and the principle of causal explanatory exclusion, I seek to demonstrate that all theories of mental causation necessarily violate one or more of these premises. Contemporary approaches to mental causation come under two broad categories, those that argue that mental events are supervenient on physical events (such as Davidson, Kim and Horgan) and those (like Haskar) who argue that the mind is an emergent property of the brain. Supervenience based theories, I argue, end up reducing mental states in their search for a theory of mental causation and emergence based theories end up violating the principle of the causal closure of the physical. In part II, I explore some of the consequences of epiphenomenalism for social theory. This exploration comes in the context of a defence of human subjectivity against (i.) those sociological imperialists who view the mind and self as a 'gift of society', and (ii.) social situationalists who have abandoned the concept of action and an interest in 'what's in the head' of the actor, in favour of a concept of social action which views behaviour as action only to the extent that it is socially meaningful. The conclusion is that the social sciences should return to an interpretative style (Weberian) methodology.

Abstract (sommario):
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 1998.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 111-114).
From the time of Descartes to about the 1960s, a certain epistemological idea dominated the philosophy of mind, namely the idea that theses about the relation between mind and body are, if true, a priori truths. Much of recent philosophy of mind is devoted to the question whether that idea is right. My research is largely an attempt to argue that some recent defenses of it are unsuccessful. For example, Physicalism is the metaphysical thesis that every actual psychological event, property, or process is necessitated by some actual physical event, property, or process. Many philosophers believe that Physicalism is true. Until about the 1960s, those who believed it true typically believed that statements relating mind and body were a priori truths. Let us call this thesis A Priori Physicalism. Many philosophers nowadays believe, instead, that statements relating mind and body are only a posteriori truths. Let us call this thesis A Posteriori Physicalism. A number of philosophers have argued in recent years that A Posteriori Physicalism is unacceptable; on their view, Physicalists had better be A Priori Physicalists. My thesis examines the question whether that view is correct. I begin with a discussion of two influential arguments for the conclusion that Physicalists must be A Priori Physicalists. Chapter 1 addresses itself to an argument for the conclusion that if physicalism is true, every referring psychological expression is coreferential a priori with some referring physical expression. This argument is commonly called the Property Dualism Argument against Physicalism. I argue that the Property Dualism Argument rests on an ambiguous premise: on one reading it begs the question against A Posteriori Physicalism, on the other reading the conclusion of the Property Dualism Argument does not follow. Chapter 2 addresses itself to an argument of Frank Jackson's for the conclusion that Physicalists must have an a priori story to tell about how the physical nature of the actual world makes true the psychological nature of the actual world. I distinguish two ways in which this claim might be understood, and I argue that on neither way of understanding it does Jackson have a compelling argument for A Priori Physicalism. Finally, in Chapter 3 I turn to a more general discussion of the relation between conceivability and possibility, and its bearing on the dispute between A Priori and A Posteriori Physicalists. I focus in particular on a recent argument of David Chalmers' from the conceivability of so-called zombies to the conclusion that A Posteriori Physicalism is false. I argue that this argument fails to provide compelling reasons for rejecting A Posteriori Physicalism. I argue, first, that it misconstrues the relation between conceivability and possibility, and second, that it fails to establish that zombies are conceivable in the relevant sense.

Abstract (sommario):
En la actualidad, solo uno de tres peruanos mayores a los 15 años realiza algún tipo de actividad física, dicha situación es alarmante. Ocasiona que las personas sean propensas a contraer enfermedades crónicas como diabetes, hipertensión, cardiopatías, cáncer, según Alexandro Saco, director de la Promoción de la Salud del Minsa. Cabe precisar que aquellos que padecen las enfermedades antes mencionadas están en riesgo al contagiarse de covid-19. A lo antes mencionado se le suma que las constantes exhalaciones por el esfuerzo durante la actividad física provocan un ambiente más favorable para los contagios de coronavirus dentro de los gimnasios. Es por ello, que el Gobierno Peruano se vio en la obligación de cerrar los gimnasios. Sin embargo, en el Perú según el último reporte (2019) del IHRSA, existen 1,818 gimnasios y centros de entrenamiento, que en estos momentos se mantienen cerrados afectando a alrededor de 20,000 profesionales del deporte. En base a ello, nace “HEALTHY MIND”, una idea de negocio de un grupo de alumnos de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. Este equipo analizó la situación que se vive en la actualidad y elaboró un servicio para que las personas puedan cambiar su estilo de vida desde casa y no tengan excusas para realizar alguna actividad física. Este proyecto consiste en brindar diversas disciplinas de manera online, al inscribirse podrán acceder a clases en vivo, grabaciones de las clases, un blog con tips para llevar una vida saludable y recibirán un control semanal por parte de los entrenadores personales.
At present, only one in teree Peruvians over 15 years of age performs some type of physical activity, this situation is alarming. It causes people to be prone to contracting chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, according to Alexandro Saco, director of Health Promotion of the Minsa. It should be noted that those who suffer from the aforementioned diseases are at risk by contracting covid-19. To the aforementioned, it is added that the constant exhalations due to effort during physical activity cause a more favorable environment for coronavirus infections within gyms. That is why the Peruvian Government was forced to close the gyms. However, in Peru, according to the latest IHRSA report (2019), there are 1,818 gyms and training centers, which are currently closed, affecting around 20,000 sports professionals. Based on this, “HEALTHY MIND” was born, a business idea from a group of students from the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences. This team analyzed the current situation and developed a service so that people can change their lifestyle from home and have no excuses for doing any physical activity. This project consists of providing various disciplines online, by registering you will be able to access live classes, class recordings, a blog with tips for leading a healthy life and will receive weekly control from personal trainers.

Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation consists of two parts. Part I proposes a new approach to modality, abductive modal realism. Part II proposes a new version of physicalism, abductive physicalism. The parts relate in that abductive physicalism presupposes abductive modal realism.Abductive modal realism holds that inference to the best explanation (i.e. abduction) grounds some and any justified belief about mind-independent necessity and possibility. This approach avoids the disadvantages of extant approaches to modality. Specifically, unlike extant approaches, abductive modal realism accepts real, mind-independent necessities and possibilities without employing a modal epistemology that fits these poorly. Abductive physicalism holds that we should adopt abductive modal realism, that abduction favors physicalism, and thus, that we should adopt physicalism. Although standard a posteriori physicalism accepts the latter claims, it sees appeals to abduction as exceptions to an otherwise non-abductive modal epistemology. Abductive physicalism, contrariwise, sees abduction as the arbitrator of modal disputes quite generally. This difference allows abductive physicalism to avoid problems that plague standard a posteriori physicalism.

Abstract (sommario):
The artist discusses the work for his Masters of Fine Arts exhibition, Mind under Matter, held at the Tipton Gallery in downtown Johnson City, Tennessee. Exhibition dates are from March 27th through April 5th 2017. ‘Matter under Mind’ explores the balance of control and non-control within the art-making process. This technique creates an automatic dialogue resulting in abstraction guided by the subconscious. The title ‘Matter under Mind’ is a slight play on the phrase ‘mind over matter’ emphasizing how matter/material is manipulated by the mind through the making of artwork, and within the mind’s eye or imagination. The video installation featuring the work is accompanied by a soundscape to bring the viewer deeper into the creative process. The video symbolizes the idea of ‘solve et coagula’ or, dissolve and coagulate, destroy to recreate by revealing how the process of cleaning paint off of a surface creates artwork in itself.

Locke, Abigail. "The mind-field of sport : emotion, mind and accountability in athletes". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2001. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/7630.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Using a discursive psychological framework, this thesis provides an analysis of athletes accounting for sports performance. Traditionally, such work has been conducted under a cognitive sports psychological framework. This thesis challenges the mentalistic notions of such an approach, when looking at 'emotion' and 'mind', and instead examines their potential for accounting purposes. Drawing primarily on retrospective semi-structured interviews, with additional data provided from focus/discussion groups and media data, the thesis considers a number of interlinking analytical themes. These can be divided into two broad categories. The first focuses on the athletes' uses of mental concepts such as 'mind' and 'emotion' when accounting for performance. Rather than treating these invocations of mental states as 'real' descriptions of the athletes' experiences, I consider the uses of such terms as embedded within narrative and used for accounting purposes. The athletes constructed the experience of emotion as normal for sports performance and claimed that it was needed to perform successfully. When looking at mind, the athletes invoked the strength of the mind as the difference between success and failure. Such invocations when accounting for success enabled the athletes to soften their agency for their good performance, thus demonstrating the embedded nature of such concepts within narrative. The second broad theme is closely linked with the first and examines the athletes' narratives of success and failure. I note how both accounting for success and failure are potentially problematic for the athletes. When narrating failure, the athletes have to delicately manage blame, stake and accountability. In contrast, when accounting for success, they have to manage their claims in the light of being seen as making immodest or arrogant claims. In addition, I note the relativity of the categories of success and failure. In conclusion, I examine the contributions of the thesis to three main areas of research, emotion theory, sports psychology, and discursive psychology. I argue that the explication of themes has demonstrated that mental concepts such as 'emotion' and 'mind', rather than being treated as separate and measurable entities, should be examined in the light of their discursive currency for accounting purposes.

We propase to analyze this process by applying the concepts of phenomenal mind and conceptual mind on severa! psychological approaches, including main historical and contemporary "schools". Analysis suggests the existence of complex relations and mutual influences among psychologies, uneasiness to classify sharply al! psychologies as phenomenal or conceptual, and the potential to unify psychology as a science by including phenomenological points of view in contemporary psychology.

Proponemos analizar este proceso aplicando los conceptos de mente fenoménica y mente conceptual sobre diversos enfoques psicológicos, incluyendo las "escuelas" históricas y contemporáneas más importantes. El análisis sugiere la existencia de relaciones complejas e influencias mutuas entre las psicologías, la dificultad para clasificar claramente a todas ellas como fenoménicas o conceptuales, y el potencial para unificar la psicología como una ciencia a través de la inclusión de puntos de vista fenomenológicos en la psicología contemporánea.

Abstract (sommario):
Interest in questions about the minds of people in the past has come' to take centre stage, not just within the discipline of archaeology, but more widely. This thesis argues that, to date, attempts to fashion and practice an archaeology of mind have been fundamentally undermined, if not rendered entirely incoherent, by conceptual confusions regarding the phenomena of mind with which they are interested. Such confusions have led to mistakes of varying severity effecting both the identification of mental phenomena from the evidence of the archaeological record, and subsequent attempts to explain the presence and nature of such phenomena. Here, following the insights of Wittgenstein (1958a), it is argued that conceptual clarity is a necessary foundation for a successful empirical endeavour, and that sucn clarity can only be achieved by paying attention to the use words have in our language. In this light, the conceptual confusions present in, and negative implications resulting from, two of the central approaches (the cognitivist [e.g., Wynn 2002] and Iingualist [e.g., Noble and Davidson 1996]) to the archaeology of mind are explored. Arising from these two critiques are a number of positive conceptual points (inclUding that mind can only be identified by its content, and that such content can be attributed on the basis of both linguistic and non-linguistic behaviour) that go toward the development of a methodology that allows for the secure archaeological identification of mental phenomena in prehistory. The final part of the thesis applies this methodology to a particular area of archaeological interest (regarding the temporal content of past minds), finding that many existing attributions are, at least, underdetermined by the evidence adduced, but that certain temporal content is manifest in that very same evidence. The thesis concludes by outlining some of the prospects for, and limitations of, the archaeology of mind.

Abstract (sommario):
It is a common notion that we have minds or souls in addition to or distinct from our bodies. This common notion, however, is considered by many to be philosophically unacceptable. This toeing the case many philosophers have attempted to account for the mental in terms of the physical. This thesis examines four such attempts. The type identity theory, functionalism and eliminative materialism are examined and rejected. A token identity statement is adopted and defended. The defense of the token identity statement rests on its form which takes the subject of experience to be central. While consciousness is not explained by this identity statement, I argue that it does enable us to accommodate the mental within a physicalist framework.

Abstract (sommario):
“Slowly Rushing Absent Mind” explores themes of origin and nature through poems about family history and the natural world. This collection explains poetry through poetry by using different forms—the ghazal, the prose poem, the sonnet and the lyric, to convey an awareness of a deeper consciousness. These poems seek to fill the space in the air above your shoulder at which the retail clerk stares as he hands you your change and wishes you good day. “The world we know,” Foucault explains, “is a profusion of entangled events;” these poems are meant to hint at a true beginning, one at which only the most exhaustive of genealogical research could possibly arrive, yet one that is intrinsic in the details of everyday life.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis argues that mind is a property of the brain, that it has no independent existence of its own and that it is not a substance of any kind. It distinguishes between mind, consciousness and self. It argues that consciousness, like language, memory, perception, attention and emotion is simply another feature of mind, albeit a philosophically interesting feature. The neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning consciousness are sketched out, using visual awareness as an example. The case is made for the hypothesis that consciousness is not a global property of the brain but a result of local and discrete structural and neurophysiological processes. Blind sight and prosopagnosia are used to exemplify this case. The thesis argues that the self includes aspects which are derivable from human culture but that these aspects are predicated upon particular physical brain structures. In the second section of the thesis, three psychiatric syndromes, namely autism, multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia are examined. Autism is described as resulting from a failure of theory of mind. It is argued that this account of autism, although incomplete in detail, supports the claim that mind is a conceptual artefact, that is that it is a theory which we use to explain human behaviour. The nature of multiple personality disorder is explored and it is concluded that multiple personality disorder is not a naturally occurring example of Parfit's theory of Personal Identity. Finally, schizophrenia, the paradigmatic psychiatric disorder is examined. The claim is that schizophrenia is a condition in which several aspects of the self are severely compromised. The capacity to experience the world accurately, to make judgements and to communicate these judgements are all affected. It is argued that these impairments in the functioning of the self have demonstrable neural correlates and that this confirms the thesis of the materiality of the self.

Abstract (sommario):
There were two starting points for this Creative Project. First, the idea of integrating photography in the design process, not only as a means of later documentation, but as a creative tool. This is a relatively new and unexplored field, thus few resources about the topic could be found. However, I was sure that this unique approach to design was worth exploration and decided to pursue it.The other idea came from research on revitalization of downtown areas which was triggered by my initial confusion and reorientation in a different culture where so ma-iv of the characteristics of urbanity were missing that I was so used to. The changes that have occurred in America's historic centers today are usually considered unavoidable and have resulted in a lifeless downtown area that seems to be the normal status. I believe that this is not just the decay of an important district of the town but, more importantly, the total loss of communication on a human level where the spatial demands of the automobile have become more important than human interaction.With those two ideas in mind I was searching for a site that would fit both. I have been living in Muncie. Indiana, long enough to understand the daily routine of the town, and the search for ideas that would lead to a change here was constantly on my grind. After some research on the entire downtown area I found an appropriate site and developed a proposal that integrates both my ideas and creates a vision of what could be.

Abstract (sommario):

Industrial design is meant to improve the design of mass produced objects and by doing so to contribute to improve the users' quality of life. The designer's challenge is to balance functionality, aesthetic appeal and ease of use to create a successful market product. This industrial design thesis presents a pediatric examination table.

Within the context of the new trends for healthcare design, it looks forward to contributing to the pediatric healthcare quality with an innovative product. Thus its design criteria must respond in both physical and emotional terms, to the users' needs and especially to their dreams. The pediatric examination table must be functional, aesthetically appealing, mechanically simple, and economic. And it can't just happen to be for children it must be designed with children in mind.

Abstract (sommario):
Les bébés ont-ils des pensées sur leurs propres pensées? L'objet de cette thèse était d'examiner cette question en se concentrant sur le développement de la métacognition, cette capacité que nous avons d'observer et de réguler nos propres processus cognitifs. Les recherches antérieures ont documenté un développement tardif de la métacognition. Cependant, cette question a essentiellement été étudiée en demandant aux enfants de rapporter verbalement leurs propres états mentaux. En nous appuyant sur des méthodes issues de la littérature comparative, ici nous avons étudié la possibilité que même les bébés pourraient démontrer des capacités métacognitives dans des situations qui ne requièrent pas de rapport verbal. Dans une première étude, nous avons trouvé que les bébés de 12 et 18 mois détectent leurs erreurs, évaluent la confiance qu'ils peuvent avoir dans leurs décisions, et utilisent ces informations pour réguler leur comportement. Dans une deuxième étude, nous montrons que les bébés de 20 mois sont même capables de communiquer leur propre incertitude non verbalement. Cela suggère que les tout petits peuvent consciemment représenter leur propre incertitude, même si ils sont incapables de la verbaliser convenablement avant bien plus tard pendant l'enfance. Nos résultats indiquent qu'il y a une dissociation importante entre les capacités de régulation métacognitive, déjà présentes chez le bébé, et les aspects plus explicites de la métacognition, qui se développent lentement pendant l'enfance. De façon plus générale, nos résultats suggèrent que les bébés, en plus d'analyser leur environnement physique et social, peuvent aussi examiner leurs propres processus cognitifs
What do infants know about themselves? Do they have thoughts about their own thoughts? The aim of this thesis was to investigate this issue by focusing on the early development of metacognition, our capacity to monitor and regulate our own cognitive processes. Previous research essentially relied on verbal reports, and showed that reflecting upon their own mental states is difficult for preschoolers. Yet, these observations might reflect children’s limited capacities in explicitly reporting their own mental states, rather than limitations in metacognition per se. Here, by relying on methods coming from the comparative literature, we investigated the possibility that even infants could demonstrate rudimentary forms of metacognition in non-verbal settings. In a first study, we found that 12- and 18-month-olds can evaluate decision confidence, monitor their errors, and use these metacognitive computations to regulate subsequent behaviour. In a second study, we further show that 20-month-olds are able to share their own uncertainty with others in order to regulate behaviour. This last aspect of our results suggests that infants can consciously access metacognitive representations, although they remain unable to manipulate them verbally until much later during childhood. Taken together, our results highlight an important dissociation between core metacognitive capacities, already present in infancy, and more explicit aspects of metacognition, developing through an effortful process during childhood. More generally, the present work provides some evidence that infants not only consider their physical and social surroundings, but also, reflect upon their own cognitive states

Abstract (sommario):

Each year, nearly 70,000 youth in America enter the juvenile justice system and are confined in correctional facilities. Many children younger than 18 years of age are forced to consider these institutions their home as they live out their sentence. A large body of evidence has shown that a majority of these detained adolescents commit crimes due to untreated mental health or from enduring years of constant mental abuse. These issues are often carried over into their sentences and juvenile facilities are not well equipped or properly trained, leaving many behavioral symptoms unattended. Mind Over Matter Telepsychiatry aims to utilize the emerging innovations of telehealth technology to transform mental health service delivery within the juvenile justice system. The mission is to provide accessible, effective, and quality care to vulnerable and often overlooked youth populations in order to prepare them for successful reentry into the community. Mind Over Matter Telepsychiatry’s goal is to work alongside juvenile halls located in The Greater Los Angeles area to become the primary provider of behavioral telehealth services. This proposal will provide an in-depth analysis of how Mind Over Matter Telepsychiatry aim to accomplish these objectives.

Abstract (sommario):
Do minds ever extend spatially beyond the boundaries of the bodies of their subjects? I argue that they do. More precisely, I argue that some of our visual experiences are constitutively grounded by events that include parts of the world that are not parts of any subject's body. After surveying the development of externalist theories in the philosophy of mind, I present some of the motivations common to ecological, enactive, dynamic sensorimotor and two-level interdependence accounts of perception and explain how some of these accounts support the case for active vehicle externalism about consciousness. I then discuss and respond to three well-known objections. The first concerns whether the extended mind thesis implies that there extended selves, the second concerns what exactly demarcates mental events from non-mental events, and the last concerns what is required to demonstrate constitutive dependence. To address what distinguishes constitutive from nomological or causal forms of dependence, I develop an account of constitutive grounding. My account draws on recent work in analytic metaphysics on the notion of ontological dependence or grounding, where grounding is taken to be a non-causal relation of ontological priority. After showing how this notion is different than any kind of nomological dependence and how it can be constructively used to decipher the spatiotemporal extent of events, I argue positively that the grounds of visual experiences are always temporally extended and often include parts of the world external to the seeing subject's body. My argument for temporally extended vision begins by considering three different models of the temporal structure of consciousness: cinematic, retentional, and extensional. I then draw on the dynamic sensorimotor theory to object to the cinematic model and explore whether enactivists are really committed to retentionalism. I end up arguing that any account one gives of the intentional contents or phenomenal characters of individual conscious visual events will have to make reference to a briefly enduring process and not just an instantaneous event involving the subject. Lastly, I argue as follows: (P1) in the explanation of visual experience, the brain internal parts of the temporally extended events that constitutively ground visual experiences often cannot be decoupled from parts of the non-bodily world; (P2) if event A is a constitutive ground of event E and event B cannot be decoupled from A in the explanation of E, then B is also a constitutive ground of E; therefore, (C) some visual experiences are constitutively grounded by events that include parts of the non-bodily world. I call this conclusion the extended visual consciousness thesis. If my argument for it is sound, our conscious minds do, in some cases, extend beyond our bodies.

Abstract (sommario):
The project consists of a defense of the reductivist program generally and an application of the program to the theory of epistemic justification. Chapter One sets out the problem of reducing justification to other terms and defends the legitimacy of this problem against attacks by Quine in particular and supervenience theorists generally. Chapter Two is an explication and refutation of all possible theories which reduce justification-facts to facts about the reliability of cognitive processes. All such theories founder due to their insensitivity to the perspectival component of thought. Chapter Three argues that this perspectival component is non-truth-theoretic and hence that the connection between justification and truth is much less important than has been generally supposed. Chapter Four lays out the structure of epistemic justification and proposes a reductive thesis entailing this structure. It is argued that essential elements of both coherence theories of justification and foundations theories of justification are present in rational thought and that this is explicable in terms of the teleology of human cognition. Chapter Five explicates and defends the theory constructed in Chapter Four.
