    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→At least some problems with the early/late debate stem from an assumption about the linearity of the processes that support personal-level thinking, not from an assumption about linearity of neural processing per se.

    Treisman's attenuation model and Deutsch-Norman late selection theory disagree specifically about when neural representations become available to response systems, not about personal-level linearity.

    Key Terms

    Deutsch-Norman late selection theory(as used in cognitive psychology and philosophy of perception)
    A competing theory (by David Deutsch and Donald Norman) suggesting that your brain processes all the information it receives first, and only *then* decides what to pay attention to—the opposite of filtering early.
    Neural representations(as used in neuroscience and cognitive science)
    The patterns of activity in your brain that correspond to thoughts, sensations, or information—basically, the brain's way of encoding or 'representing' something internally.
    Personal-level linearity(as used in philosophy of mind)
    A reference to whether processes in your conscious experience happen in a step-by-step sequence (linear) versus happening all at once or in parallel; 'personal-level' means at the level of your conscious experience rather than just brain mechanics.
    Response systems(as used in cognitive science and neuroscience)

    The brain mechanisms that produce behaviors or actions in response to what you perceive or think—like the systems that let you move your muscles or speak.
    Treisman's attenuation model(as used in cognitive psychology and philosophy of perception)
    A theory by psychologist Anne Treisman about how your brain filters attention: instead of completely blocking out ignored information, it turns down the volume on it, like lowering the volume on background noise rather than muting it entirely.
