The Simulation Theory and Explanations that Make Sense of Behavior

"The act of conscious" theory and interpretation of simulation Summary: The basis of the current discussion between theory and simulation theory is to assume a causal relationship in folk psychology theory, to explain the behavior. Analog scientists Martin Davis, Tony Stone and Jane Hill argued that folk psychological explanation will be determined with reference to his actions with an important thought of interpretation of certain circumstances and other meanings. I think that it is unlikely that these explanations will be causal.

The theory can explain and explain the meaning of treating (ie antipathy) and cognitive doctrine of realism. It is a literal interpretation of the external reality description - realism explains that the description is based on the assumption that the interpretation of the entity or process actually exists. In contrast, the explanation of cognition is that these entities or processes do not necessarily literally mean, but the results are used only to organize human experience and scientific experiments - It is to promote a consistent interpretation of the only experience model, not a key, but a realistic offering literal explanation

By using a combination of comprehensive principle observations and predicting actions and events, through the interpretation of well-tested explanations for a series of observations, the beliefs about nature, test theory, certain aspects of nature In such something comprehensible sentence, such things are complete statements, why it exists in the past or present form how certain events And make a device aiming to clarify the phenomenon of the show phenomena such as descriptions and structures and operations related to the situation. Acts to inform and show causes. A discussion that will help clarify how topics or presentation processes work

The theory is the interpretation of natural or social behavior, events or phenomena. More formally, scientific theory, together with some prerequisites and suggestions with structure (concept), under the boundary conditions, the logic phenomenon of interest, system (structure relation), and consistency of There is an interpreting system (Bacharach 1989). 1 The theory should explain not only explanation and prediction, but also why things happen. A series of predictors can be used to predict events and behaviors without explaining why such events occur. For example, market analysts predict fluctuations in the stock market, based on market observations, company's primary revenue report and new data, Federal Reserve, relevance and other agencies, based on observations previously. Only predictions need relevance. Instead, understanding the necessity of causality or causality
