11 When do children become consciously aware of events in the world? Five possible 12 strategies are considered for their usefulness in determining the age in question. 13 Three of these strategies ask when children show signs of engaging in activities for 14 which conscious awareness seems necessary in adults (verbal communication, exec15 utive control, explicit memory), and two of the strategies consider when children 16 have the ability to have the minimal form of higher-order thought necessary for 17 access consciousness and phenomenal consciousness, respectively. The tentative 18 answer to the guiding question is that children become consciously aware between 12 19 and 15 months ( 3 months). 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved. 20

In a process dissociation procedure (Jacoby, 1991) with word stem completion, picture fragment completion, and category production tasks, conscious and automatic memory processes were compared for studied pictures and words with an independent retrieval model and a generat...

Perceptual experience seems to involve distinct intentional and qualitative features. Inasmuch as one can visually perceive that there is a Coke can in front of one, perceptual experience must be intentional. But such experiences seem to differ from paradigmatic intentional states in having introspectible qualitative character. Peacocke (1983) argues that a perceptual experience s qualitative c...

The measurement of pain depends upon subjective reports, but we know very little about how research subjects or pain patients produce self-reported judgments. Representationalist assumptions dominate the field of pain research and lead to the critical conjecture that the person in pain examines the contents of consciousness before making a report about the sensory or affective magnitude of pain...

Recently, a number of experiments have emphasized the degree to which subjects fail to detect large changes in visual scenes. This finding, referred to as ‘‘change blindness,’’ is often considered surprising because many people have the intuition that such changes should be easy to detect. Levin, Momen, Drivdahl, and Simons (2000) documented this intuition by showing that the majority of subjec...
