A few additional questions:
- Does involvement of the same brain regions in implicit versus explicit tasks necessarily excludes the two systems hypothesis from a theoretical point of view? E.g. Is it not possible that same brain network is involved but that there is still a way to explain the recruitment of an implicit vs explicit system depending on the context one is faced with?
- I didn’t fully understand the Apperly 2006 findings. You mentioned that the authors conclude that explicit belief tracking is more effortful but what exactly was the difference between that condition and the incidental false belief? Were subjects in the explicit condition told what they were going to be asked / what to focus on from the beginning?
- Do you believe that the fact that you find a P300 signal on both implicit and explicit version of the task should be taken as evidence against the existence of Two Systems?
