environment
Acting and Imagination
How could you perceive anything without connection to the lowest level?
These perceptions are not build up from actual signals…?
→ Imagination loop should go all the way down.

The only difference is that no motor action is used on the environment and
no new sensory information is collected. The memory switch should operate
only on level 1?

Behaving: acting on

Modes in PCT
Controlled Mode Automatic Mode

● Default mode ● Output from memory only Passive Observation Mode Imagination Mode
● 2 way connection: upwards & ● Low level control using memory of ● Only bottom-up, not top-down ● Separation between levels
downwards past reference values ● No output from memory ● Experience depends on levels
● Dynamic high level control ● Routine, habit, skills ● Acquiring new reference signals? involved
● No action on environment
Eating an apple for the first time: Walking on a well-known road using Listening to a presentation?
Storage of the taste of apple → new well-worn shoes.No new memories are Thinking, planning, imagining, dreaming
reference formed.
