For me the takeaway is that all the "myths" mentioned in here are often simplified abstractions, but they do have underlying truth.
> Brains don’t work by stimulus and response.
They definitely do, eg. when you accidentaly touch a hot object. But that's not all they do. They also have a predicting mode of operation.
> specific parts of the human brain have specific psychological jobs
There are parts of the brain doing specialized things, otherwise why do we still call an area of the brain "visual cortex"? But the brain is much more malleable and plastic than we thought earlier, and entire areas can be repurposed.
