AJM: Clearly, salience plays a role in what becomes conscious.?But I'm not entirely following your proposal.?I think that you are saying that consciousness is made by coordination of two reinforced events, which becomes a plan, and that the reinforcement of the plan by emotion or affect provides the salience--"an instance of consciousness"--which makes the plan conscious.?Is that right or am I just confused?

MLC:?You are confused in the overall and the details.

Consciousness is made by coordination of two steps of respondent conditioning.?In the first step, the what to do step, a reinforcing event is paired with the brain stimulus that elicits the operant behavior.?This brain event is experienced as a plan.?The reinforcement of operant behavior is what makes that pairing possible.?The reinforcers also elicits emotion or affect and thereby provides the salience--"an instance of consciousness"--which makes the plan conscious.?

This allows for the second step in which the now salient brain event may be paired with the environmental stimulus.?This is the when to do it step.
