Document Summary

Answers: a standard model of the mind that is vertically modular with a sharp distinction drawn between perception and action, distinguishes between sensory perception and cognitive perception a. b. Indirect realism applied to cognitive perception, but not to sensory perception: behaviourism, horizontal modularity, extended mind, haugeland, both produce symbolic structures that are true when they match physical reality. Both have three stages: (1)signal, (2) data, (3) hypotheses: science- signal-level is when instruments are not calibrated, data-level is rival theories. Perception- signal-level is binocular rivalry, data-level is ambiguous figures: objectively, the visual image is impoverished. Subjectively, the visual image is a high-definition, full colour, wide-angle snapshot of the scene before us. We do not notice any deficits: thing seeing- people who say they do not see a difference are wrong, the do see the difference. Fact seeing- people are correct, they do not see that there is a difference or what the difference is: vibrations hitting your ears is thing hearing.
