Question

Sechenov:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sechenov postulated that both overt and covert behavior (mental processes) result from physiological processes in the brain, making him a precursor to the field of physiological psychology. Although he did not use the term "consciousness," he acknowledged the existence of mental states and emotions as physiological phenomena. He also rejected the idea that behavior was only reflexive and proposed that higher mental processes could be understood in terms of brain physiology.
