Calling for a developmental perspective on action-based consciousness.

چکیده
Human newborns can resolve some response conflicts in order to adapt their behaviour, suggesting that the newborn has consciousness according to Morsella et al.'s framework. However, we pose a range of developmental questions regarding Morsella et al.'s account, especially concerning the role of consciousness in the development of action.

The primary function of consciousness in the nervous system remains mysterious. Passive frame theory, a synthesis of empirically supported hypotheses from diverse fields of investigation, reveals that consciousness serves as a frame that constrains and directs skeletal muscle output, thereby yielding adaptive behavior. How consciousness achieves this is more counterintuitive, “low level,” and p...
متن کاملHoming in on consciousness in the nervous system: An action-based synthesis.
What is the primary function of consciousness in the nervous system? The answer to this question remains enigmatic, not so much because of a lack of relevant data, but because of the lack of a conceptual framework with which to interpret the data. To this end, we have developed Passive Frame Theory, an internally coherent framework that, from an action-based perspective, synthesizes empirically...
