Higher-order theories do just fine

Matthias Michel et al. Cogn Neurosci. 2021 Jan-Jan.

Abstract

Doerig et al. have set several criteria that theories of consciousness need to fulfill. By these criteria, higher-order theories fare better than most existing theories. But they also argue that higher-order theories may not be able to answer both the 'small network argument' and the 'other systems argument'. In response, we focus on the case of the Perceptual Reality Monitoring theory to explain why higher-order theories do just fine.

Keywords: Consciousness; higher-order theories; perceptual reality monitoring.
