Abstract

The APA Concise Dictionary of Psychology (2010) defines mind in five meanings: "1) as all the intellectual and psychological phenomena of an organism, including motivational, affective, behavioral, perceptual, and cognitive systems; 2) set of emerging properties that are automatically derived from a brain that has achieved sufficient biological complexity; 3) human consciousness considered as an immaterial entity distinct from the brain; 4) the brain itself and its activities; and 5) as intention or volition" (p. 309).
