Abstract Hybrid social cognitive models, based not only on simulation, are desirable, especially in complex scenarios. It is unclear, however, which neural systems support non simulative processes. Furthermore, the proposal that consciousness is a form of representation of attention, while novel, relies on a traditional concept of representation. Recent findings suggest an ontological priority of representations, where the representation and the thing being represented are not distinct at all.
