Notes

  1. First developed by Hurley (1998), O’Regan and Noë (2001), Hurley and Noë (2003), and Noë (2004)

  2. Famously defended by Milner and Goodale (1995)

  3. See, especially, O’Regan’s and Noë’s contributions for a representation of the enactive view, which holds that knowledge of sensorimotor contingencies is constitutive of the qualitative character of visual perception. For some variations on this action-oriented approach, see Schellenberg, Kiverstein, and Mathen. All in Perception, Action, and Consciousness (hereon, PAC).

  4. See also Milner and Goodale (1995).

  5. See, for instance, Blangero et al. (2007,2008), Djikerman et al. (2005), Gaveau et al. (2008), Khan et al. (2005), Revol et al. (2003), and Rice et al. (2008), Himmelbach and Karnath (2005), Rossetti et al. (2005).

  6. Rossetti et al. (2003), Pisella et al. (2009)

  7. Milner and Goodale (2008)

  8. Milner et al. (1999), Rossetti et al. (2005)

  9. PAC, p.90

  10. PAC, p.107

  11. Rossetti et al. (2003), Pisella et al. (2009)

  12. PAC, p. 65

  13. For evidence supporting this view, see Sperling (1960) and Landman et al. (2003). In defense of this interpretation, see Block (2007), Dretske (2006), and Fodor (2007).
