    The ease with which we self-ascribe experiences is partially to be explained by appeal to pre-reflective self-awareness. It is important to emphasize, however, that pre-reflective self-awareness is only a necessary and not a sufficient condition for reflective self-ascription and first-person knowledge. Many animals who possess pre-reflective self-consciousness obviously lack the cognitive resources needed for reflective self-ascriptions.
