Problem 7 (Chemero (Churchland: (relied upon emulation theory of…

- - - - psychological processes explained by molecular functions
    - - reducing parts of psychology to neuroscience
- - - - integrate old and new theory
    - - both exist, but complex is not used anymore
  - - - non-transitivity of explanation
- - - - identify higher level strategies/thinking and use to explain behavior + cognition
    - - identify neurological mechanisms that explain cognitive function
    - - cognition is not only result of neural function
      - also product of environment
      - even if convergence is possible, it may not be effective for development of understanding
      - isolation of different levels leads to better understanding of system as a whole
      - can't always use knowledge from neurology to develop psychology
      - domains have different knowledge, therefore unbeneficial to converge
  - - - different systems can realize same mental state
    - - some concepts in psych + neuroscience are connected
      - autonomy results in increased resources, time, and complexity
      - detailed psychological explanations tell us about neurological structure
        
        the two are therefore related
