| | Harvey Carr: The Nature of Mental Process |
 | | Such a view permits the widest latitude as to methods of approach; it permits mental processes to be studied from the standpoint of immediate experience, of objective observation, or of clinical data. | | | The subjective conception of the nature of mental process (mental as opposed to material) originated from philosophical interests at a time when a dualistic conception of the human organism prevailed. | | | This paper proposes the somewhat unorthodox view that the mental functions with which psychology concerns itself are in reality psychophysical, and at times neural, activities and that psychology shall study and attempt to comprehend these functions in their entirety. |

| | JITE Volume 36, Number 2 - Roger B. Hill and Robert C. Wicklein |
| | The conceptual basis for requesting the perceived frequency of use of mental processes as a basis for developing representative constructs for mental processes used by technologists was the belief that related processes would have similar patterns of use and importance. | | | While the process was a subjective one, the choices reflect careful consideration of the definitions of each mental process clustered under a factor. | | | These intellectual or mental processes often interface with manipulative activities, but the key elements to be examined in this study are the mental processes used to solve technological problems. |

| | Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations: The Muddle of Understanding as a Mental Process |
| | Mental states, according to Wittgenstein, have two distinct qualities about them: they have some amount of temporal duration and can be readily predicated of the individual at the time they occur. | | | I shall point out this reductio and reasoning in rejecting the notion the understanding and knowledge are mental processes. | | | We are fooled by our use of grammar and run into trouble when we try to think of understanding as a mental process of some duration in our mind. |

| | Bidder. ON MENTAL CALCULATION |
| | Therefore, in stating my conviction that mental arithmetic could be taught, I would desire it to be understood, that the limits within which it may be usefully and properly applied, should be restricted to multiplying 3 figures by 3 figures. | | | But it must be borne in mind, that my memory is the limit by which my mental powers are restricted; and that the processes I pursue are all adopted, simply with a view of relieving the registering powers of the mind, i. | | | to do this it is requisite especially that, you should have a clear idea of the facts required by mental arithmetic, - of some of the facts connected with the laws of mechanics, - and considerable experience in the practice of the profession. |

| | Psychology of Intelligence Analysis |
| | Intelligence analysis is fundamentally a mental process, but understanding this process is hindered by the lack of conscious awareness of the workings of our own minds. | | | This process may be visualized as perceiving the world through a lens or screen that channels and focuses and thereby may distort the images that are seen. | | | This book focuses on problems inherent in analysts' mental processes, inasmuch as these are probably the most insidious. |

| | As to mental phenomena, when you note rising, falling of the abdomen; or lifting, pushing, dropping of the foot; or bending of the arms, stretching of the arms, then there's a mental process that knows the object, rising, falling movement, lifting, pushing, dropping movement, bending, stretching movement of the arm. | | | Mental process is just the natural process of mentality. | | | The falling movement is one process; the mind that cognises it is the other process. |

| | Judicial decisions within the involuntary commitment process are made within the context of available mental health services and decision-makers within the process raise concerns about the availability of treatment alternatives. | | | Compared to processes in some other states, Virginia's involuntary commitment process has some strengths, including a shorter period of detention prior to the commitment hearing; however, the comparison indicates some areas of weakness, such as pre-screening for detention, detention criteria, and hearing oversight. | | | It was beyond the scope of this JLARC study of the involuntary commitment process to examine the extent to which the availability of services may have improved or diminished since 1986. |

| | If the ironic process is inherent in the control system whereby we secure whatever mental control we do enjoy, then it ought to be evident across many domains in which we do have some success in controlling our minds. | | | It may be that in any attempt to control our minds, two processes are instituted--an operating process that works quite consciously and effortfully to carry out our desire, and an ironic process that works unconsciously and less effortfully to check on whether the operating process is failing and needs renewal. | | | The research that my colleagues, students, and I have been conducting on mental control reveals the outline of just such a seed in the psychological processes that operate when people try to control their own minds. |

| | The Anatomy of the Mental Personality by Sigmund Freud |
| | The oldest and best meaning of the word 'unconscious' is the descriptive one; we call 'unconscious' any mental process the existence of which we are obliged to assume-because, for instance, we infer it in some way from its effects but of which we are not directly aware. | | | Once again, from a purely descriptive point of view, the 'preconscious' is also unconscious, but we do not give it that name, except when we are speaking loosely, or when we have to defend in general the existence of unconscious processes in mental life. | | | You observe, in any case, that we can attribute to the id other characteristics than that of being unconscious, and you are aware of the possibility that parts of the ego and super-ego are unconscious without possessing the same primitive and irrational quality. |

| | Organisational Memetics |
| | The question would take us back towards belief systems and mental models of what organisations are, and of what organisms are or life is, and even of what truth is. It is more practical to explore the power of an organic mental model for understanding and managing learning organisations. | | | Whilst much remains unknown there exists evidence that there is some biochemical process that enables thought and cognition, and that the stimuli of new ideas can trigger that process in the cerebral cortex. | | | Memes, paradigms or mental-models are different expressions of the same concept; a self-replicating mental entity which ëinfectsí a brain and seeks to defend itself against competing memes. |

| | Working Paper: Creativity Models |
| | In contrast to the prominent role that some models give to subconscious processes, Perkins (1981) argues that subconscious mental processes are behind all thinking and, therefore, play no extraordinary role in creative thinking. | | | The creative process involves purposeful analysis, imaginative idea generation, and critical evaluation -- the total creative process is a balance of imagination and analysis. | | | Directed creativity simply means that we make purposeful mental movements to avoid the pitfalls associated with our cognitive mechanisms at each step of this process of searching for novel and useful ideas. |
