Visual awareness and the levels of processing hypothesis: A critical review

M Jimenez, JA Hinojosa, PR Montoro - Consciousness and Cognition, 2020 - Elsevier

Degrees of consciousness

AY Lee - Noûs, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Is a human more conscious than an octopus? In the science of consciousness, it's oftentimes

A multi‐factor account of degrees of awareness

P Fazekas, M Overgaard - Cognitive Science, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper we argue that awareness comes in degrees, and we propose a novel multi‐

Scene context impairs perception of semantically congruent objects

E Spaak, MV Peelen, FP de Lange - Psychological Science, 2022 - journals.sagepub.com
