ABSTRACT
Neuropsychological research on the neural basis of behavior generally posits that brain
mechanisms will ultimately suffice to explain all psychologically described phenomena.
This assumption stems from the idea that the brain is made up entirely of material
particles and fields, and that all causal mechanisms relevant to neuroscience can therefore
be formulated solely in terms of properties of these elements. Thus terms having intrinsic
mentalistic and/or experiential content (., "feeling," "knowing," and "effort") are not
included as primary causal factors. This theoretical restriction is motivated primarily by
ideas about the natural world that have been know
