Empirical support for higher-order theories of conscious awareness
TLDR
This work defends the higher-order view against several major criticisms, such as prefrontal activity reflects attention but not awareness, and prefrontal lesion does not abolish awareness.About:

Distinct brain mechanisms for conscious versus subliminal error detection
TL;DR: This work proposes the existence of two distinct brain mechanisms for metacognitive judgements: a conscious all-or-none process of single-trial response evaluation, and a non-conscious statistical assessment of confidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the Higher-Order Approach to Consciousness.
TL;DR: It is shown that, while higher-order states are cognitively assembled, the requirements are in fact considerably less than often presumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grounding cognitive control in associative learning.
TL;DR: An associative learning perspective on cognitive control is outlined in which control emerges from associative networks containing perceptual, motor, and goal representations, and trending research themes that are shared between the domains of conflict adaptation, task switching, response inhibition, and attentional control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prestimulus alpha-band power biases visual discrimination confidence, but not accuracy
TL;DR: A clear dissociation between objective and subjective measures of visual perception as a function of prestimulus cortical excitability is found, predicted by a model where the balance of evidence supporting each choice drives objective performance but only the magnitude of evidence support the selected choice drives subjective reports.
Journal ArticleDOI
To belief or not belief: Children’s theory of mind
TL;DR: In this paper, a minimalist framework for understanding the development of children's theory of mind (ToM) was proposed. But the current consensus that infants understand mental states is premature, and instead, excellent statistical learning skills and attention to human faces and motion enable infants' very good performance, and reflect an implicit understanding of behavior.

Signal detection theory and psychophysics
David M. Green,John A. Swets +1 more
TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is it like to be a bat
TL;DR: Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable as mentioned in this paper, which is why current discussions of the problem give it little attention or get it obviously wrong.
Book
The Cognitive Neurosciences
TL;DR: The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Neural Basis of Decision Making
TL;DR: This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.
