Architecture of the Mind

Psychology — Consciousness, Behaviour & Experience

The Central Idea

Mathematics describes patterns. Physics describes laws. Biology describes life. Sociology describes the collective. Psychology asks: What happens inside the human organism between experiencing the world and behaving in it? It is the study of the internal operating system.

WORLD → SENSATION → PERCEPTION → ATTENTION → MEMORY → LEARNING → THINKING → EMOTION → MOTIVATION → PERSONALITY → DEVELOPMENT → SOCIAL INFLUENCE → MENTAL HEALTH → BEHAVIOUR
BIOLOGY → BRAIN → MIND → CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE → BEHAVIOUR
