Answer to Question 1

Answer: Descartes  mind-body problem; Locke  thought is a series of mental images; Berkeley  some concepts are too abstract for mental images; Wundt and Tichner (structuralism)  mental activity can be broken down into basic operations and these could be studied objectively; James (functionalism)  focused on the function of mental activity; behaviorism  experimental techniques; computer science  computer as a model and a research tool

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A structure-process trade-off occurs when we change a theory of a representation and then compensate for that change by modifying the theory of the process. This makes theories somewhat arbitrary. However, theories should be consistent with the properties of the brain.
