The Missing Link in CognitionOrigins of self-reflective consciousness
Abstract
"Are humans unique in having self-reflective consciousness? Or can precursors to this central form of human consciousness be found in non-human species? The Missing Link in Cognition brings together a diverse group of researchers who have been investigating this question from a variety of perspectives, including the extent to which non-human primates, and, indeed, young children, have consciousness, a sense of self, thought processes, metacognitions, and representations. Some of the participants - Kitcher, Higgins, Nelson, and Tulving - argue that these types of cognitive abilities are uniquely human, whereas others - Call, Hampton, Kinsbourne, Menzel, Metcalfe, Schwartz, Smith, and Terrace - are convinced that at least the precursors to self-reflective consciousness exist in non-human primates."--BOOK JACKET.

“Introspection, in turn, is believed to involve such cognitive processes as attention, working memory, and metacognition (51-53), processes that are called upon in cognitive theories of consciousness (47,(54)(55)(56)(57).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
