Self-Knowledge in a Predictive Processing Framework

摘要: In this paper I propose an account of self-knowledge based on a framework predictive processing. Predictive processing understands the brain as prediction-action machine that tries to minimize error in its predictions about world. For view evolve into complete human cognition we ought provide idea how it can for – knowledge one’s own mental states. attempt such starting from remarks introspection made by Hohwy (2013). develop Hohwy’s picture general model states, discussing oneself be used capture self-knowledge. further explore empirical predictions, and thereby argue provides good explanation failure cases involving motor aftereffects, broken escalator phenomenon. conclude proposed is incomplete, but valuable first step connect research with epistemology
