John F. Kihlstrom is a psychologist known for his work on consciousness, memory, and mental causation—the idea that our thoughts and desires can influence our actions. He explores how mental processes, often outside our awareness, can shape our behavior. Kihlstrom's research highlights the complexities of the mind, suggesting that understanding these processes can help us grasp how our internal states drive our decisions and actions in everyday life, bridging the gap between psychology and philosophy in understanding human behavior.
