{{Short description|Totality of psychological phenomena}} {{Other uses}} {{Featured article}} {{CS1 config|mode=cs1}} [[File:Mental capacities.svg|thumb|alt=Diagram of a head with symbols for different mental capacities inside it|The mind is responsible for phenomena like [[perception]], [[thought]], [[feeling]], and [[Action (philosophy)|action]].]] The '''mind''' is that which [[Thought|thinks]], [[Feeling|feels]], [[Perception|perceives]], [[imagination|imagines]], [[memory|remembers]], and [[Will (philosophy)|wills]]. It covers the totality of '''mental''' phenomena, including both [[Consciousness|conscious]] processes, through which an individual is aware of external and internal circumstances, and [[Unconscious mind|unconscious]] processes, which can influence an individual without intention or awareness. The mind plays a central role in most aspects of human life, but its exact nature is disputed. Some characterizations focus on internal aspects, saying that the mind transforms information and is not directly accessible to outside observers. Others stress its relation to outward conduct, understanding [[Mental state|mental phenomena]] as dispositions to engage in observable behavior. The [[mind–body problem]] is the challenge of explaining the relation between matter and mind. Traditionally, mind and matter were often thought of as distinct [[Substance theory|substances]] that could exist independently from one another. The dominant philosophical position since the 20th century has been [[physicalism]], which says that everything is material, meaning that minds are certain aspects or features of some material objects. The evolutionary history of the mind is tied to the development of [[nervous system]]s, which led to the formation of [[brain]]s. As brains became more complex, the number and capacity of mental functions increased with particular brain areas dedicated to specific mental functions. Individual human minds also develop over time as they learn from experience and pass through psychological stages in the process of aging. Some people are affected by [[mental disorder]]s, in which certain mental capacities do not function as they should. It is widely accepted that at least some [[non-human]] [[animal]]s have some form of mind, but it is controversial to which animals this applies. The topic of [[Artificial consciousness|artificial minds]] poses similar challenges and theorists discuss the possibility and consequences of creating them using computers. The main fields of inquiry studying the mind include [[psychology]], [[neuroscience]], [[cognitive science]], and [[philosophy of mind]]. They tend to focus on different aspects of the mind and employ different methods of investigation, ranging from [[empirical observation]] and [[neuroimaging]] to [[conceptual analysis]] and [[thought experiments]]. The mind is relevant to many other fields, including [[epistemology]], [[anthropology]], religion, and education. == Definition == The mind is the totality of psychological phenomena and capacities, encompassing both [[consciousness|conscious]] and [[Unconscious mind|unconscious]] states. The term ''mind'' is sometimes used in a narrow meaning to refer only to cognitive functions associated with [[perception]], [[Logical reasoning|reasoning]], [[awareness]], and [[memory]]. In a broader sense, it also includes processes like [[feeling]], [[motivation]], and [[behavior]].<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Kim|2011|pp=2, 6}} | {{harvnb|American Psychological Association|2018|loc=[https://dictionary.apa.org/mind § Mind]}} | {{harvnb|HarperCollins|2022|loc=[https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=mind § Mind]}} | {{harvnb|HarperCollins|2024}} | {{harvnb|Morton|2005|p=603}} | {{harvnb|Paivio|2014|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=FaGYAgAAQBAJ&pg=PR6 vi–vii]}} }}</ref> The precise definition of mind is disputed and while it is generally accepted that some non-human animals also have minds, there is no agreement on where exactly the boundary lies.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Sharov|2012|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=oQ5HAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA343 343–344]}} | {{harvnb|Carruthers|2019|pp=ix, 29–30}} | {{harvnb|Griffin|1998|pp=53–55}} }}</ref> Despite these disputes, there is wide agreement that mind plays a central role in most aspects of human life as the seat of consciousness, emotions, thoughts, and sense of personal identity.<ref>{{harvnb|Stich|Warfield|2008|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=NEGK_ZStddkC&pg=PR9 ix–x]}}</ref> Various fields of inquiry study the mind; the main ones include [[psychology]], [[cognitive science]], [[neuroscience]], and [[philosophy of mind]].<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Pashler|2013|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=lu3aMe6kRowC&pg=PR29 xxix–xxx]}} | {{harvnb|Friedenberg|Silverman|Spivey|2022|pp=14–17}} }}</ref> The words ''[[Psyche (psychology)|psyche]]'' and ''mentality'' are usually used as synonyms of ''mind''.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|American Psychological Association|2018|loc=[https://dictionary.apa.org/mind § Mind], [https://dictionary.apa.org/psyche § Psyche]}} | {{harvnb|Merriam-Webster|2024|loc=[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mentality § Mentality]}} | {{harvnb|Kim|2011|p=7}} }}</ref> They are often employed in overlapping ways with the terms ''[[soul]]'', ''spirit'', ''[[cognition]]'', ''[[intellect]]'', ''[[intelligence]]'', and ''[[brain]]'', but their meanings are not exactly the same.

The sensory information received serves as raw data that is filtered and processed to actively constitute the experience of the world and the objects within it. This complex process underlying perceptual experience is shaped by many factors, including the individual's past [[experience]]s, cultural background, beliefs, knowledge, and expectations.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Bernstein|Nash|2006|pp=85–86, 123–125}} | {{harvnb|Martin|1998|loc=[https://www.rep.routledge.com/articles/thematic/perception/v-1 Lead section]}} | {{harvnb|Gross|2020|pp=74–76}} }}</ref> Memory is the mechanism of storing and retrieving information.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Bernstein|Nash|2006|pp=208–209, 241}} | {{harvnb|American Psychological Association|2018|loc=[https://dictionary.apa.org/memory § Memory]}} }}</ref> [[Episodic memory]] handles information about specific past events in one's life and makes this information available in the present.

When a person recalls that the capital of Japan is Tokyo, they usually employ semantic memory to access this general information without remembering the specific instance when they learned it.

Consciousness is the awareness of external and internal circumstances.

Terminological Matters: Various Concepts of Consciousness}} }}</ref> In the case of phenomenal consciousness, the awareness involves a direct and qualitative experience of mental phenomena, like the auditory experience of attending a concert. Access consciousness, by contrast, refers to an awareness of information that is accessible to other mental processes but not necessarily part of current experience. For example, the information stored in a memory may be accessible when drawing conclusions or guiding actions even when the person is not explicitly thinking about it.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Davies|2001|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=-wt1aZrGXLYC&pg=PA191 191–192]}} | {{harvnb|Smithies|2019|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=s7emDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA83 83–84]}} | {{harvnb|Gennaro|loc=§ 1. Terminological Matters: Various Concepts of Consciousness}} }}</ref> Unconscious or nonconscious mental processes operate without the individual's awareness but can still influence mental phenomena on the level of thought, feeling, and action. Some theorists distinguish between [[preconscious]], [[subconscious]], and unconscious states depending on their accessibility to conscious awareness.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Bernstein|Nash|2006|pp=137–138}} | {{harvnb|Kihlstrom|Tobias|1991|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=GwxnDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA212 212]}} | {{harvnb|American Psychological Association|2018|loc=[https://dictionary.apa.org/unconscious § Unconscious]}} }}</ref>{{efn|The precise differences between these concepts are disputed. In Freud's psychoanalysis, the preconscious mind lies outside current awareness but can easily be accessed, whereas the unconscious mind is further removed from deliberate access. The word ''subconscious'' is sometimes used as a synonym of ''preconscious''.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Birch|Malim|2017|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=dzRIEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA205 204–205]}} | {{harvnb|Sayers|2020|p=100}} }}</ref>}} When applied to the overall state of a person rather than specific processes, the term ''[[Unconsciousness|unconscious]]'' implies that the person lacks any awareness of their environment and themselves, like during a [[coma]].<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Gennaro|loc=Lead Section, § 1.

According to [[Sigmund Freud]], the [[psychological mechanism]] of [[Repression (psychoanalysis)|repression]] keeps disturbing phenomena, like unacceptable sexual and aggressive impulses, from entering consciousness to protect the individual. Psychoanalytic theory studies symptoms caused by this process and therapeutic methods to avoid them by making the repressed thoughts accessible to conscious awareness.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Mijoia|2005|pp=1818–1819}} | {{harvnb|Bernstein|Nash|2006|pp=137–138}} | {{harvnb|Steinberg Gould|2020|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=yAT1DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA151 151]}} | {{harvnb|American Psychological Association|2018|loc=[https://dictionary.apa.org/unconscious § Unconscious]}} | {{harvnb|Carel|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=3iUMevXETJ8C&pg=PA176 176]}} }}</ref> === Other distinctions === [[Mental states]] are often divided into qualitative and propositional states. Qualitative states are experiences of sensory qualities, typically referred to as [[qualia]], like colors, sounds, smells, pains, itches, and hunger. Propositional states involve an [[Propositional attitude|attitude]] towards a content that can be expressed by a [[declarative sentence]]. When a person believes that it is raining, they have the propositional attitude of belief towards the content "it is raining". Different types of propositional states are characterized by different attitudes towards their content. For instance, it is also possible to hope, fear, desire, or doubt that it is raining.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Kim|2005|pp=607–608}} | {{harvnb|Swinburne|2013|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=FfDpm-roQwYC&pg=PA72 72–73]}} | {{harvnb|Lindeman|loc=§ 1.

For example, a belief is rational if it relies on strong supporting [[evidence]] and a decision is rational if it follows careful deliberation of all the relevant factors and outcomes. Mental states are irrational if they fail to adhere to these standards, such as beliefs caused by faulty reasoning, [[superstition]], or [[cognitive bias]]es, and decisions that give into [[temptation]]s against one's best judgment.<ref>{{multiref | {{harvnb|Harman|2013|pp=1–2}} | {{harvnb|Broome|2021|loc=§ 1.

A dispositional state is a power that is not exercised. If a person believes that cats have whiskers but does not think about this fact, it is a dispositional belief.
