Petar D. Bojović Its more like Mind is the software! Consciousness is at other levels which can be sometimes considered as a part of the Brain, Body, and mind.

Tatiana Koerich Rondon

Dear Petar D. Bojović

Your question reminded me of a comparison between different components of the mind, regarded as hardware and software. Hambrick and Engle (2002) mention that working memory capacity and other aspects of the cognitive system are the mind's hardware due to their relatively stable nature. On the other hand, domain knowledge would be a more flexible aspect. Hence, it would be considered the software.

Cheers,
