{wiki=Naturalistic_theories_of_mental_representation}

Naturalistic theories of mental representation refer to frameworks that seek to explain how mental representations (like thoughts, beliefs, desires, and perceptions) arise and function based on naturalistic principles. These theories ground the understanding of mental representation in empirical findings from psychology, neuroscience, biology, and related fields, as opposed to relying purely on philosophical introspection or abstract metaphysical concepts.
