Conscious access overflows overt report

doi: 10.1017/S0140525X07003044 Block proposes that phenomenal experience overflows conscious access. In contrast, we propose that conscious access overflows overt report. We argue that a theory of phenomenal experience cannot discard subjective report and that Block's examples of phenomenal 'overflow' relate to two different types of perception. We propose that conscious access is more than simply readout of a preexisting phenomenal experience.
