Unpredictable predictions : Defining and measuring cognition
​in predictive accounts of the mind

Abstract

Distinguishing between perception and thought is a vacuous task. At least this is what most adopters of predictive coding accounts express. Here I want to argue for the opposite. Although I concur that perception can no longer be equated with strictly bottom-up processing, I argue that thought, in virtue of being at the top of the hierarchy, can be equated with a distinctive kind of process: It predicts but is not predicted by any other level. Using this argument and some recent collaborative experimental work on the much discussed example of racial biases in vision, I show why it makes a difference to the way we frame the issue of whether thought influences perception : What we have is a much more tractable and interesting problem of how much cognitive and metacognitive control we have over our perceptual biases.

Life is supposed to be unpredictable, that is what makes it exciting. If you are someone who is afraid of tackling the world and its unpredictability, then I am not judging you, instead, I am here to tell you about its greatness. The world is going to be unpredictable, that is just how it is. I really do hope that you can get pass this fear that you have. I am rooting for you, always now that I am here to support you.
