Psychology & Neuroscience Asked by user10108 on August 22, 2021
I am looking for two things that I an unable to find.
A "survey" or "quiz" that attempts to determine the degree one’s support for various theories of consciousness. I could imagine a series of statment on a Likert scale: "It is possible to upload a mind into a computer", "If Mary knows X holds and Mary knows if X holds then Y holds, Mary therefore necessarily knows Y holds", "It is possible to tell the difference between true and artificial consciousness through a keyboard-mediated conversation" etc. After taking the quiz, it could tell you, "you support a cognitivist theory of consciousness", or whatever the case may be.
Results on correlations between support for various theories of consciousness and things like educational background, age, religious affiliation, socioeconomic status, and so on. For instance, one might discover that engineers who make less than $80K per year tend to be more supportive of functionalism than those with a PhD in classic literature. I’m just making things up, but these are the kinds of things I am interested to see if there are results on.
I’m not even necessarily curious about which theories of consciousness are correct, but more so the (possibly implicit) beliefs about theories of d consciousness held by people across cultures and social groups and how to measure the degree of those beliefs.
