Descartes' dualism fell recently to the computational theory of the mind which viewed the brain as a rational calculating machine. It owed much of its impact to our understanding of computers and how our mind seemed to order the world by a similar process.

For example, participants in scientific studies often lean forward when they think of the future, thus we associate the future with something 'forward'.
