Abstract
Everyone has beliefs about how the world works and how they behave depends heavily on their beliefs about how the real world works. Cognitive psychologists believe that the mind actively represents the outside world and the way people interact with and behave with the environment is the result of these changes and manipulations that occur in mental representations. Scientists also believe that in the face of the phenomena of the outside world, there is an interactive relationship between the mind and behavior with the brain; So that the occurrence of a phenomenon, along with the entry of information into the brain, and the analysis and processing of that information by the mind, results in conscious or unconscious behavior in the human. In other words, there is an interactive relationship between the brain, mind, and behavior (MBB). Therefore, the present study attempts to examine MBB in the case of human exposure to economic inflation. This is applied and developmental research with the type of library study and uses the new findings of cognitive science to explain this relationship. The findings indicate that following inflationary shocks and the transfer information of about monetary loss to the mind, the activity of the striatum, the ACC, the MPFC, and the amygdala increase, and information about emotional actions that are contrary to mental habits transmit to the highest cognitive unit of the brain (PFC). Consequently, it leads to cognitive and behavioral changes in humans. Thus, in the face of economic inflation, the MBB relationship is also confirmed.
