—Psychology

-is the scientific study of mind and behavior. Psychology includes the study of conscious and
unconscious phenomena, including feelings and thoughts. It is an academic discipline of immense scope,
crossing the boundaries between the natural and social sciences. Psychologists seek an understanding of
the emergent properties of brains, linking the discipline to neuroscience. As social scientists,
psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups.[1][2] Ψ (or psi) is a Greek letter
which is commonly associated with the science of psychology.

—MIND

is the set of faculties responsible for all mental phenomena. Often the term is also identified with the
phenomena themselves.[2][3][4] These faculties include thought, imagination, memory, will, and
sensation. They are responsible for various mental phenomena, like perception, pain experience, belief,
desire, intention, and emotion. Various overlapping classifications of mental phenomena have been
proposed. Important distinctions group them together according to whether they are sensory,
propositional, intentional, conscious, or occurrent.

>Mind or mentality is usually contrasted with body, matter or physicality.

>The mind is also sometimes portrayed as the stream of consciousness where sense impressions and
mental phenomena are constantly changing

–the issue of relationships between mind and brain called "mind-body-problem".

–The mind–body problem is a debate concerning the relationship between thought and consciousness
in the human mind, and the brain as part of the physical body.

*mind–body dualism denotes either the view that mental phenomena are non-physical,[1] or that the
mind and body are distinct and separable.[2] Thus, it encompasses a set of views about the relationship
between mind and matter, as well as between subject and object, and is contrasted with other
positions, such as physicalism and enactivism, in the mind–body problem.[1][2]

1.Substance dualism(Rene Descartes) asserts that mind and matter are fundamentally distinct kinds of
foundations.[1]

2.Property dualism suggests that the ontological distinction lies in the differences between properties of
mind and matter (as in emergentism).[1]

3.Predicate dualism claims the irreducibility of mental predicates to physical predicates.[1]

—CONSCIOUSNESS

is sentience or awareness of internal and external existence.


-FEELING

is used as a technical term which means a generalized bodily consciousness of a physiological sensation.
It can be termed as a perception of physiological events within the body. Importantly, feeling is also
termed as a self-contained physiological experience.

-THOUGHT

refer to conscious cognitive processes that can happen independently of sensory stimulation.

—UNCONSCIOUS

consists of the processes in the mind which occur automatically and are not available to introspection
and include thought processes, memories, interests, and motivations.

—BEHAVIOR

is the range of actions and mannerisms made by individuals, organisms, systems or artificial entities in
some environment.
