In this article, we advocate for scientific approaches that attempt to bring together four types of phenomena and their corresponding theoretical accounts: behavioral acts, cognitive events, neural events, and subjective experience.

‎there is a flatness property of acts over monoids called condition $(pwp)$ which‎, ‎so far‎, ‎has received‎ ‎much attention‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we introduce condition gp-$(p)$‎, ‎which is a generalization of condition $(pwp)$‎. ‎firstly‎, ‎some  characterizations of monoids by condition gp-$(p)$ of their‎ ‎(cyclic‎, ‎rees factor) acts are given‎, ‎and many known results are generalized‎. ‎more...

Statistical learning is assumed to occur automatically and implicitly, but little is known about the extent to which the representations acquired over training are available to conscious awareness. In this study, we focus on whether the knowledge acquired in a statistical learning situation is available to conscious control. Participants were first exposed to an artificial language presented au...
