Academic Review of Correlation Relations between Neurology, Physiology, Metabolism, Changes in Glucose Levels, and Human Energy Frequencies

Bugelski's (1973, 1982) stance on reduction to hypothetical physiology has a long and glorious history. For example, some French and German materialists of the 18th and 19th centuries saw consciousness and thinking as secretions of the brain and thus linked psychology to hypothetical (or fictitious) physiologies. This view was common in Europe at that time (Kantor, 1969, pp. 203- 204, 258-259). More recent examples include Hull's (1943) use of terms that sound physiological but not, such as afferent neural interaction; Hebb's (1949) conceptual invention of the nervous system with no reference to the real nervous system; adaptive network models, which are simulations of physiological processes with "loosely resembling neurons" units (Palmer & Donahoe, 1992, p. 1355); and other non-existent versions of modem connectivity (Hilgard, 1987, p. 190). Another example is that one of the criteria proposed by cognitive theorists to assess the adequacy of any information processing model is the consistency of the model with what is known about neural physiology (Klahr and Wallace, 1976, p. 5; Palmer and Donahoe, 1992 ). ; Simon, 1972), but even with this consistency the model is not physiological. Another example is one of the criteria proposed by cognitive theorists to evaluate the adequacy of any knowledge process. However, these theories and models may be scientifically useful for other purposes that will not be covered in this article. Another method known as the "mind over the brain" approach is used by some connectionists ; however, this method does not seem to have much relevance in the scientific community. This shift was opposed by Skinner (1974) as an attempt to escape from the then prevalent mind-body dichotomy rather than as an attempt to offer a physiological explanation. Cognitivists seem to use it not to avoid mentalism, but to make mentalism more palatable, although Ryle (1949) argues that this statement is less misleading and therefore preferred "in the mind." Another metaphor used by some cognitivists is "in the head" as a vague euphemistic way of saying "in mind" ( e.g., Brown, 1975; Jenkins, 1971). However, the term is sometimes used simply to supply stylistic diversity ( e.g., Craik, 1943, p. 51; Dewey, 1933, p. 111).
