How are non-accidental matches possible?
action
Contents of motor representations vs contents of intentions.
vision
Contents of visual representations vs contents of beliefs.
Visual representations cause visual experiences, which provide reasons for beliefs.
Beliefs (and desires) influence orientation and attention, and thereby visual representations.
model 2: sensations (the feeling of familiarity)
model 3: object indexes
object indexes
Scholl 2007, figure 4
What do object indexes contribute to experience? Structure!
object indexes
belief-independent
structure experiences
subject to limited, indirect cognitive control through attention
motor representations
intention-independent
structure experiences
subject to limited, indirect cognitive control through attention
Costantini et al, 2010 figure 1b
‘Action index’ conjecture
Motor representations of outcomes structure
experiences, imaginings and (prospective) memories
in ways which provide opportunities for attention to actions directed to those outcomes.
Forming intentions concerning an outcome can influence attention to the action,
which can influence the persistence of a motor representation of the outcome.
Predictions?
1. Not all action-related changes in experience are merely changes in bodily configurations, movements and their sensory effects.
2. Memory for objects should be influenced by their affordances.
