This chapter is about the functions of the brain: both global mental functions, such as consciousness, energy and drive, and specific mental functions, such as memory, language and calculation mental functions.
Disposition to act or react in a particular way, characterizing the personal, behavioural style of an individual that is distinct from others. These behavioural and responses styles are developmental in nature and may be foundational for later patterns of temperament and personality functions. Remark: The codes on Dispositions and Intra-personal functions can be related to the codes on expression of Temperament and Personality functions (b126). Users may use either or both. The taxonomic properties of these codes and their relationship need to
be developed through research.
