The GNS theory is the idea of mental events, or “mental representations”, which are responsible for all experiential states (consciousness). This theory was proposed by Dr. Daniel Dennett in 1983 after his study of natural selection and consciousness during his book of the same name. There are many different types of these mental representations of reality that include feelings, sensations, thoughts, emotions and beliefs. These representations arise on a moment-to-moment basis as an individual perceives their environment on an unconscious level. Perception is the process of identifying and organizing information from the physical world through our senses, as well as internalizing our experiences, which includes emotions and beliefs. Our internal experience is what we refer to as our consciousness. These internal representations are called “mental models” and consist of many different types of mental representations that we can consciously or unconsciously receive through perceptions we have on a moment-to-moment basis (For example: Perceived situations, emotions and beliefs). They may be received through our eyes, ears, nose or other senses. These models can be perceived either consciously or unconsciously; though the latter is more common. (For example: When an eye is looking at something, it will photograph like a camera and use for input for a mental representation of what it sees. The same thing happens with a person’s experiences, beliefs and emotions.) This theory proposes that mental representations are not separate from the physical world as mentioned below: “They have no specific ontological status in their own right. They are not separate from the external physical world...There is no sense in which the maps of experience are metaphysically privileged... ”. This theory proposes that mental representations are also not separate from the physical world as mentioned below: “There is no distinction between the ‘internal world’ and the ‘external world’. There is just one world, and we perceive and represent it...” The theory goes on to say: “...the mind is a system of internal representations designed to produce behavior that is appropriate to a given set of circumstances. It makes use of internal models, which are simulations of the external environment, as well as an analog or symbolic system for reasoning and decision making. The core requirements for any theory of the mind are that it explain (1) how these internal models are structured, (2) how they are used to control behavior, and (3) how they evolved.” This is thought to be possible due to the fact that when an individual’s eye or other sense perceives information in real time, this information is constantly being compiled in the brain. This results in the formation of “maps of experience”. These maps can be considered as rough approximations in the brain that aid individuals in making sense of their environment. This process happens unconsciously and mostly occurs through associative learning. cfa1e77820
