the body mind problem

1.-Why do we need to understand the mind-body problem?

A psychologist in formation requires understanding the mind-body problem due to its great bond with the human conscience, this consciousness (mind) is integrative and at the same time has physical sustenance (the brain), likewise mentioned by Díaz J.L. in "Avive el seso": it has led us to create the historical-social context in which we live. Therefore, it is essential to know the biological foundations and where the transition between the neurophysiological and behavior occurs (which is as interesting as the study objective of psychology) since this relationship or link between what we experience through the external environment (sociocultural component) ) influences too much in the decision making (through the thought product of the mind). In summary, the physical stimuli that reach the brain intervene directly with the mind (the mind analyzes, associates and / or recreates with or without external stimulus) becoming a behavior (object of study of psychology)

2.-What is conscience? According to Muñoz.GC is the phenomenal experience we have of the world (it is the difference between being awake and asleep without dreaming anything), in this way we are giving meanings (opinions, beliefs) to the experiences and through the physical link of the individual and the sociocultural stimuli form an "I", later the conscience becomes more complex by associating and integrating these meanings leading to create a vision of the person and its role in the world. At the same time it gives utility to its association between experiences and their interpretation, modeling the behaviors of the individual (cause of historical-social adaptation in which this consciousness recreates), in such a way that because the interpretation is so subjectively diverse and influenced by external factors, it becomes a guarantee seal towards innovation, creation and development.

1. What is the mind? Where is the mind?
   The mind is the cradle and / or part of consciousness, as Munoz assents: Descartes puts consciousness as a singular property of consciousness, unfortunately his great relationship with consciousness has problematically turned the mind-body situation. It is the mind that gives rise to the cognitive processes that allow human beings to understand the reality in which they live, make judgments and make decisions as suggested by Coon and Mitterer (2010). The mind has a neurophysiological base in the brain, this is known because without the organic basis, mental processes do not manifest themselves, for example, in patients with aphasia in whom Broca's area has been anatomically damaged, as Diaz J.L.

1. How is the mind and body related?
   The mind and the body are intimately physically related, since the body forms a base of support for the mental processes to take place, they also have a reciprocal and feedback relationship, since they generate an impulse in both senses, that is, the mind It recreates an experience and carries out an action, just as through the external perception the impulse comes to the mind so that it makes a decision as to what is the best thing to do in each determined situation. In this way, a learned behavior is created that processes the mind through its physiological basis, which is the brain, this fundamental behavior being the basis for new future decisions, in other words they form judgments and attitudes.
