Eliminativism

The position, in the philosophy of mind, that denies the real existence of things like beliefs, desires and sensations in favor of a reductive neurophysical description. The eliminativist argues that these concepts (e.g. beliefs, etc.) have entered our language through a non-scientific folk-psychology and that future scientific research will make these terms obsolete.

Eliminativism is also known as eliminative materialism.
