Journey of the Mind: How Thinking Emerged from Chaos by Ogi OgasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars

Building on these insights, Grossberg recognized that there had to be two distinct but codependent mental processes underlying the serial position effect, each associated with a different rate of time. The first was a fast short-term memory process that changed in real time as new items were presented, and the second was a slow long-term memory process that acted on a much slower time scale and was influenced by the results of the fast activity. The notion that two mental processes, each specialized for a specific purpose, yet each needing to collaborate with the other to achieve an even larger purpose, eventually contributed to his articulation of the complementary thinking principle.
He also recognized that because the mind was a physical system, it should be treated not as an abstract, noncorporeal entity but as a specific configuration of physical elements interacting with a specific physical environment in real time. Thus, he also embraced the embodied thinking principle.
