Seeing and Conceptualizing: Modularity and the Shallow Contents of Perception
By Eric Mandelbaum. 2018
99 citations recorded by the source corpus.
After presenting evidence about categorization behavior, this paper argues for the following theses: 1) that there is a border between perception and cognition; 2) that the border is to be characterized by perception being modular (and cognition not being so); 3) that perception outputs conceptualized representations, so views that posit that the output of perception is solely non-conceptual are false; and 4) that perceptual content consists of basic-level categories and not richer contents.
