Abstract
A standard approach in physiological and neurological psychology is to try to find “neural correlates” to various folk-psychological and scientific-psychological phenomena. For instance, we believe we have some understanding of “consciousness” or “working memory” or “components of emotion”. Then we look to see what “centers” and “circuits” and “neurotransmitters” underlie those processes. This traditional approach is to move from the psychological to the neurological. This approach has been quite successful.
