Why are you most excited to learn about reasoning in cognitive psychology? How could knowing more about how the mind works in reasoning be applied to a real-world situation, problem, or issue in one's life, work, or in society? please be detailed.

Prompt: One of the fundamental assumptions of cognitive neuroscience is the concept of "materialism." Contrast "materialism" vs. "dualism" in relation to the link between the mind and the brain. Please present it as if you are explaining these different perspectives to someone unfamiliar with these concept (I call it "How would you explain it to Grandma?") Be sure to explain why the assumption of materialism is essential to the scientific study of cognition. Also, include evidence from the module or an example from everyday life that demonstrates the materialist nature of the mind body relationship. Please be detailed.

Describe a context from day to day life or your personal experience where object segmentation as perceptual challenge is relevant. And then use this example to explain the cognitive processes that allow us to overcome this perceptual challenge (or sometimes make us fall for illusions or make perceptual errors).please be detailed.
