Document Summary

We tend to think of seeing as the same thing as visual awareness. After removal, he could not see anything in the left half in the world in front of him. He insisted he could not see items, but he could guess their identity and location correctly. Consciousness: a state of awareness of sensations or ideas, such that we can: Know what it feels like to experience them. Report to others that we are aware of these sensations and ideas. Cognitive unconscious: mental activities below the level of awareness that make cognition possible. Example: cqrn is perceived as corn though participants are unaware of the error. We are aware of the products of cognition but unaware of the processes. Retrieving information, such as a name from long-term memory. Seeing and reading a written word, making inferences about missing features. Recalling an episodic memory and perhaps committing a memory. This name sounds familiar, so it must be someone famous.
