    Challenges→A judgment about one's body posture made on the basis of visual perception alone is not immune to error through misidentification.

    Key Terms

    Bodily judgments(as used in epistemology)
    Conclusions or claims you make about your own body, like 'my arm is raised' or 'I feel pain in my leg.'
    Body-schema integration(as used in philosophy of mind and perception)
    The brain's ability to automatically coordinate information about where your body parts are and how they move, without you having to think about it consciously.
    Immunity to misidentification(as used in epistemology and philosophy of mind)
    A type of knowledge or judgment that cannot be wrong about *which* thing you're thinking about, even if you could be wrong about other details—like how you can't be mistaken about whose thoughts you're having.
    Proprioception(as used in neuroscience and philosophy of perception)
    Your body's sense of where its parts are in space and how they're moving, without you having to look—like knowing where your arm is even with your eyes closed.
