This article aims to demonstrate that most of what we do or feel is not conscious, andthat immediate responses to internal and external stimuli are coming from a set of automatic responses inherited from biological matrices and enhanced throughout life. Therefore, we want to defend the thesis that the brain comes into the world not as a “blank slate”, but with certain “specialized neural programs”. We must finally emphasize that our proposal does not hold that every person is a biological machine programmed to respond to the stimulus automatically and immediately, but to defend inherently that the recognition of the existence and effectiveness of automated and non-conscious processes does not eliminate the role of our cognitive apparatus and the ability to act intentionally and consciously.References
