The Dorsal‐Ventral Account of Picture Perception
What is the nature of our perception of pictures? Philosophers intrigued by this question, and adopting a naturalistic perspective, have turned to findings from visual neuroscience to answer it. This perspective seeks to address the question within the framework of the Two Visual Systems Model , which provides a specific anatomo‐functional description of how our visual system operates. According to this model, the visual cortex hosts a specific h…
Conscious Access in Skilled Action
For an Epistemology of Stereopsis
What stereoblindness teaches us about visual reality
Our experience seems to be populated by mind-independent objects. These very same objects are also experienced as offering the possibility of motor interactability . Thus, one may be tempted, prima facie , to consider these two experiences as always related. In this paper, I propose that this idea is not tenable, by invoking evidence from vision science and ophthalmology about a special case of blindness, stereoblindness . Stereoblind subjects ca…
Philosophical implications of derealization disorder
An all-purpose framework for affordances. Reconciling the behavioral and the neuroscientific stories
Research on the concept of affordance generated different interpretations, which are due to different stories aimed at describing how this notion accounts for visually guided motor behaviors. On the one hand, dispositional accounts of affordances explain how affordances emerge from the encounter of the agent’s perceptual-motor skills, with an object offering possible interactions, as behavioral dispositional properties . On the other hand, cognit…
Philosophy of Plant Cognition
This volume features new research about the philosophy of plant intelligence and plant cognition, one of the most intriguing and complex current debates at the intersection of biology, cognitive science and philosophy. The debate about plant cognition is marked by deep disagreements. Some theorists are confident that the empirical evidence supports the ascription of cognitive capacities to plants. Others hold that such claims are overblown, and d…
How Knowing-That and Knowing-How Interface in Action
Why the Pictorial Needs the Motoric
On knowledge in action
What mental states guide the execution of our actions? It is generally agreed that the execution of an action is guided by the relevant knowledge state concerning how to perform that action. However, not all agree on which mental states underlie such a knowledge. Some suggest that knowing how to perform an action has mainly to do with the propositional representation about the way to execute that action. Those opposing this view stress the role o…
On the content of Peripersonal visual experience
A distinction concerning vision-for-action and affordance perception
Meteorological Variables and Suicidal Behavior
This study analyzed the impact of meteorological variables and high-lethality suicide attempts (HLSA) to assess a potential time shift of HLSA affected by climate evolution to predict the suicide attempt cases over different periods of the year. After attempting suicide, 225 subjects were admitted to the emergency ward of the IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino and later to the psychiatric unit from March 2016 to July 2018. Socio-demographic a…
