Consciousness, higher-order thought, and stimulus reinforcement
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (2):194-195 (2000)
| Abstract | Rolls defends a higher-order thought theory of phenomenal consciousness, mapping the distinction between conscious and non-conscious states onto a distinction between two types of action and corresponding neural pathways. Only one type of action involves higher-order thought and consequently consciousness. This account of consciousness has implausible consequences for the nature of stimulus-reinforcement learning. | |||||||||
