Functionalists study how cognitive processes help people and animals adapt to their environment and develop habits.
Functionalism in the social sciences is a theory based on the premise that all aspects of society (institutions, roles, norms, etc.) serve a purpose and that all are essential for the long-term survival of society.
Functionalism is that what makes something a thought, desire, pain (or another kind of mental state) does not depend on its internal organization, but only on its function or role in the cognitive system.
