Abstract
Most chapters of the present book deal with a two-body problem, relations between perception and action. This two-body problem is difficult enough: as Miller, Galanter, and Pribram (1960, p. 11) point out, the “theoretical vacuum between perception and action” has been the subject of prolonged — and frequently violent — debate. However, two-body problems are well known to be solvable, and I myself have proposed a detailed theoretical solution to the relation between perception and action in the case of language (MacKay, 1987a) and other cognitive skills (MacKay, 1985, 1987b, pp. 14–40). The present chapter takes on a three-body problem that has proven much more difficult to solve: relations between perception, action, and awareness.
