> i am a bit confused to what you consider an experience. could you give some examples please? i mean, is it internal (emotion/thought) or external (someone who believes that they are being followed by the FBI catches someone looking at them from a neighboring window)
Ouch, that gets to the heart of it! Within this context:
Screwey Emotional Response (or the experience of)
Screwey Affective Response (or the experience of)
Screwey Skin Galvanisation Response (or the experience of)
Screwey Perceptial experience (e.g. of visual illusion)Will the real nature of the anomalous experience relevant to the production of various kinds of delusion please stand up???
That is what my paper is about really. Davies et al consider the relevant kind of anomalous experience for the production of delusion to be an 'erroneous perceptual experience' and hence they are led straight into the problem of the unwanted prediction. I reckon I can solve that little problem for them, it is easy: an erroneous perceptual experience is irrelevant for the production of delusion.
But then I need an account of what the relevant anomalous experience for the production of delusion is.
Onward, ho.
Lets see if appealing to evolution can assist...
