Man's triune conscious mind.

In a previously presented perceptual model perception was assumed to be the result of two separate but coupled modes of consciousness, one sensory-based or outer and one memory-based or inner. Evidence was found for the assumption that the outer mode of consciousness is related to the primary projection areas of the sensory cortices. In the present paper the perceptual model is further integrated with the cognitive system while considering neuropsychological aspects. The two perceptual modes of consciousness, and one mode related to the experience of feelings, are considered to be the consciousness outlets of three functionally and physiologically distinguishable minds which cooperate or compete in the control of man's behavior.

Note on Gibson's direct visual perception.

Gibson's 'ecological approach to visual perception' is shown to be compatible with traditional memory-assisted perception, viz., if it is applied to automatic behavior.

Perception: a model comprising two modes of consciousness.

A model of human perception is proposed in which conscious awareness is assumed to be the result of two separate mechanisms each involving consciousness, one outer, sensori-produced, and one inner, conceptual. By mediation of flexible memory representations the sensory data of the outer consciousness give rise to a matched "copy" in the inner consciousness which conceptually organizes the former and also serves as input to the memory store. The model is applied to some perceptual problems in vision such as ambiguous stimuli, subjective contours, space perception, a case of metacontrast, and subliminal perception.
