Resumen
Los pensamientos demostrativos se distinguen por el hecho de que sus contenidos se determinan relacionalmente, a través de la percepción, más que descriptivamente. Por tanto, una tarea fundamental de una teoría del pensamiento demostrativo es dilucidar cómo los hechos sobre la percepción visual pueden explicar cómo estos pensamientos llegan a tener los contenidos que tienen. El propósito de este artículo es investigar cómo la psicología cognitiva puede ayudarnos a resolver esta cuestión metasemántica, a través de modelos empíricos de procesamiento visual. Aunque existe una disputa entre los modelos atencionales y no atencionales sobre el mejor mecanismo metasemántico para el pensamiento demostrativo, en este artículo argumentaré a favor de un modelo híbrido, que combina ambos tipos de procesos. En esta imagen, los mecanismos de atención y no atención no son mutuamente excluyentes, y cada uno juega un papel específico en la determinación del contenido singular de los pensamientos demostrativos.
