→Type 4 -- "Consciously experienced cognitive self-reference”
== Type 4 -- "Consciously experienced cognitive self-reference” ==
;Definition: Introspection<sub>4</sub> is a conceptual (or quasi-conceptual) kind of metarepresentation, again operating on a pre-existing, coherent self-model. Phenomenal representational processes of this type generate conceptual forms of self-knowledge, by directing cognitive processes towards certain aspects of internal system states, the intentional content of which is being constituted by a part of the world depicted ''as internal''.
The general phenomenology associated with this type of representational
philosophers of mind have traditionally been most interested: the phenomenon
of cognitive self-reference as exhibited in reflexive self-consciousness.
