According to Fodor, in the functionalist view the psychology of a system depends not on the stuff it is made of but on . A. what psychologists say about the stuff B. what kind of stuff it is C. how the stuff is put together D. how the stuff relates to modern physics

The correct answer is letter C

Functional psychologists define psychology as a biological science interested in studying psychic (mental) processes, operations and acts as forms of adaptive interaction. They start from the assumption of evolutionary biology, according to which living beings survive if they have the appropriate organic and behavioral characteristics to adapt to the environment.

They consider mental operations and processes (such as the ability to feel, think, decide, etc.) to be the true object of psychology, and the study of that object requires a variety of methods. They do not exclude self-observation, although they do not approve experimental introspection in the Titchenerian style, because it would be very artificial. They do not rely entirely on self-observation, given their scientific difficulties: it is impossible to check publicly whether a self-observation has been done well and, therefore, it is difficult to reach an agreement based on such observations.

i disagree that there is little difference between adult female development and adult male development. sociological studies comparing female and male pathways to adulthood, revelead that there are sustancial differences between them. particularly, female and male differ from timing of marriage, when they began to live with children and the likelihood of combining wife/husband and parent roles.
