Putnam uses multiple realizability against functionalism itself, suggesting that mental events (or kinds, in Putnam's terminology) may be diversely implemented by diverse functional/computational kinds; there may be only a token identification between particular mental kinds and particular functional kinds.

It is also described as a dynamic field that involves various conceptualizations and re-significations of the body as well as its formation or transformation that ...

[ 51 ] Writing in Noûs , Barbara Hannon described "the inventor of functionalism" as arguing "against his own former computationalist views".
In a current application, kinesic behavior is sometimes used as signs of deception by interviewers looking for clusters of movements to determine the veracity of the statement being uttered, although kinesics can be equally applied in any context and type of setting to construe innocuous messages whose carriers are indolent or unable to express verbally.
