The Brain-What Else! All senses are connected with the brain. From
sense-perception derives . . . knowledge. In the brain is the
sovereignty ofthe mind. Mind is interpreted by the brain. AIcmaeon
of Croton (5th Century B. c. ) The ground is shifting under the
traditional approaches to problems in the philosophy of mind.
Earlier doctrines concerning the independence of cognition from the
brain now appear untenable. P. S. Churchland (20th Century A. D. )
It is not objective of this volume to discuss the history and
significance of neuroscience for philosophy from a developmental
perspective, although this would be a rather interesting topic. Its
object is the relationship between brain and behavior in children
as exhibited by higher mental functions (e. g. , speech and
language; reasoning, perception, free will and control of motor
acts, dependence of behavior on neuronal constraints, the self of
the child and therapeutic acti vi ties). Child psychiatrists
commonly allude to the brain as the site of disturbance responsible
for many developmental disabilities and psychopathological syn
dromes identifiable by observing behavior (e. g. , dyslexia,
delusions), neurological examination (e. g. , soft signs),
psychological test performance (e. g. , Bender Gestalt Test), EEG
(e. g. , alpha-theta ratio), and CCT (e. g. , pseudoatrophy). While
there is nothing inherently wrong with such inferences, the fact is
frequently overlooked that there is no specific set of
brain-behavior relationships validating these inferences.
