AbstractNeurophysiological and psychological evidence require us to see perception,the fabrication of (conscious) experience',as a process in time. Some of the elapsed time between the onset of stimulation and the appearance of a conscious image is accounted for by considerations of neural hardware. Cognitive science conventionally assumes that these "structural" factors are sufficient to account for the delay. However,I argue in this paper that the human information processing system may interpose an additional "strategic" delay that allows for processes of checking and editing the developing sketch' or draft',so that elements that might threaten an underlying "self system" can be massaged or deleted. This cognitive model parallels that which is found in the Buddhist "Abhidhamma" and improves upon the traditional,canonical formulation. Mindfulness meditation can be seen as a process of attentional retraining',in which the strategic delay is reduced through practice and self-related assumptions, which had previously been dissolved in or presupposed by conscious experience,become crystallized out and capable of being problematized.
