We thank Corlett for his thought-provoking response [1] to our recent article [2]. Corlett shares our concerns about inconsistencies in theories of perceptual prediction and highlights some reminiscent debates in learning theory. He also proposes why the perceptual prediction mechanisms may operate differently in the domain of action relative to other domains of sensory cognition. […]

In their insightful piece, Press et al. scrutinize predictive processing theories of perception [1], which hold that perception involves inferences based on prior beliefs and prediction errors: in some cases, priors explain away incoming data, facilitating the processing of surprising events. In other cases, events consistent with priors are afforded extra processing. How can this […]
