Skrócony opis: |
The aim of the classes is the general introduction to the selected philosophical problems of the theory of predictive coding. According to this theory sensory cognition is built on the basis of hypotheses (predictions) related to the causal structure of the world. These hypotheses provide a top-down way of organising bottom-up sensory input originating with the senses. They are conditioned, on the one hand, by the internal world model of a given cognitive system, and on the other, by changeable information coming from the world. |

The aim of the classes is the general introduction to the selected philosophical problems of the theory of predictive coding. According to this theory sensory cognition is built on the basis of hypotheses (predictions) related to the causal structure of the world. These hypotheses provide a top-down way of organising bottom-up sensory input originating with the senses. They are conditioned, on the one hand, by the internal world model of a given cognitive system, and on the other, by changeable information coming from the world. The two layers are mutually restrictive and dynamically interdependent (Hohwy 2013: 69-70). Drawing upon the knowledge about causal relations existing in the world, the mind makes hypotheses about the probability of certain events. It can thus reduce the so-called predictive error. In the words of Andy Clark: perception is action-oriented predictive processing. The observation is important because it allows us to treat perception as an element in our psycho-physical structure which helps explain the dynamics and involvement of a given organism in a specific environment. |
