If unseen primes can be used to modify not only just motor responses to stimuli, but also so many other aspects of our cognitions about a task is it necessary to also require that these responses also be under conscious voluntary control to qualify as percepts of an individual? , Stelmach LB. Such patients fail to reveal evidence of size constancy in their explicit, for example, manual or verbal, reports. Importantly, this paradigm does not require completely unconscious perceptual states. However, such response priming also does not demonstrate that the relevant information is available for individual-level action control and guidance. Consider a crude analogy: we do not perceive everything that causes pupillary dilation, yet such dilation makes various subsequent stimuli easier to perceive. Milner and Goodale understand perception to “refer to a process which [subserves] … the recognition and identification of [external] objects and events and their spatial and temporal relations” (1995/2006, 2).
