| Abstract: | Comments on the work of T. O. Nelson (see record 83-26608) on consciousness and metacognition. A. D. Kornfeld contends that Nelson failed to take into account the scope exhibited by the work of Wilhelm Wundt and that he substantially overstated the extent to which Dunlap rejected mental processes. Kornfeld argues that the metacognition model's synthesis of verbal reports of consciousness and objective measures of behavior is most accurately seen as an evolutionary development rather than as a radical break with older research traditions.
