“…Intencio nalnost propozicijskih stavova često se navodi kao svojstvo koje razlikuje mentalno od fizičkog jer smatra se da samo mentalno može biti o nečemu. Međutim, Churchland (1981Churchland ( , 1999 6 smatra da ovo nije nikakav misterij ako pučku psihologiju promatramo kao teoriju. To je samo strukturalna osobine teorije koja je zajednička raznim teorijama.…”

“…Pučku psihologiju treba eliminirati iz znanstvenog objašnjenja ljudskog ponašanja i zamijeniti je nekim drugim konceptom, koji će uključivati neurone, neuro transmitere, sinapse itd. (Churchland 1981(Churchland , 1999. Pogledajmo pobliže razlo ge za ovu radikalnu poziciju.…”

“…Eliminativist Churchland (1981Churchland ( , 1999 »… naša zdravorazumska koncepcija psiholoških fenomena čini radikalno neistinitu teoriju, teoriju fundamentalno defektivnu tako da će principi i ontologija te teorije eventualno biti zamije njeni, prije nego blago reducirani, s kompletiranom neuroznanošću.« (Churchland 1981, 568) Vidjeli smo kako je teorija flogistona, unatoč dobroj objašnjavalačkoj moći, eliminirana kada se pojavila alternativna teorija, objašnjavalački bolja. Nije samo stvar u tome da je Lavoisierova teorija bolja teorija nego je sama teorija flogistona imala defektne elemente (ne može objasniti povećanje težine tvari nakon gorenja) koje su je dovodile u pitanje, čak i da nije bilo alternativne teorije.…”

“…Druga opcija, da takvo nešto nije moguće i da ne može ni u principu biti izvedivo, jest eliminativistička opcija. Prema eliminativizmu (Churchland 1981(Churchland , 1999) pučka psihologija je neistinita teo rija i entiteti koje pretpostavlja ne postoje. Pučku psihologiju treba odbaciti i zamijeniti drugom teorijom.…”

Pučka psihologija: znanstvene perspektive realizma, eliminativizma i instrumentalizma Pučka psihologija u svakodnevnoj zdravorazumskoj upotrebiSvatko od nas, s relativno razvijenim kognitivnim i jezičnim kompetencijama, svakodnevno koristi pučku psihologiju da bi objasnio i predvidio ponašanje drugih ljudi, ali i svoje vlastito ponašanje. Pogledajmo primjer iz svakodne vice. Zašto sam se zaustavio na semaforu za vrijeme crvenog svjetla? Zato što opravdano vjerujem da je crveno, vjerujem da bi iz drugog pravca mogao proći automobil, ne želim izazvati sudar, strah me je da ću platiti kaznu i

“…This would be an example of applying the "belief-desire-law" which holds that people will do what satisfies their desires (Gauker, 2005). The theory theory's view strongest advocates are some philosophers (Churchland, 1981;Fodor, 1987), and some developmental psychologists (e.g., Gopnik, 1993).…”

Predicting Framed Decisions: Simulation or Theory?

When predicting thoughts and behavior of other people, we use either the self as the basis for predictions (i.e., we simulate others), or theoretical knowledge (i.e., we use knowledge about others). To find out whether the prediction of complex choices is possible we asked participants to predict the choice of a well-known or unknown target person in the classic Asian disease framing task, a paradigmatic example of a paradoxical decision. In addition, we collected participants' self-reports on their prediction strategies (theory or simulation). People's choice in a framing task was correctly predicted regardless of familiarity. Although familiarity influenced reported strategy, correct predictions were presumably based on simulation, since explicit theoretical knowledge either was irrelevant or non-existent. These findings show that the correct prediction of paradoxical decisions by high-level simulation cannot be ruled as an alternative to prediction by theory.

Behaviorism and Eliminativism

Behaviorism and eliminativism represent significant challenges to the scientific legitimacy of folk psychological concepts and explanations. Both views emphasize the explanatory inadequacies of folk psychological explanations of human behavior, but they differ with respect to the theoretical framework that they hypothesize will take its place. B. F. Skinner's radical behaviorism maintained that folk psychological explanations would eventually be replaced by explanations in terms of reinforcement contingencies. In contrast, the eliminativism of Paul and Patricia Churchland contends that folk psychological explanations will eventually be replaced by neuroscientific explanations. The motivations and implications of each of these views are discussed.
