Patients Afflicted with Blind Sight Insist That They Are Blind

Essay

Patients afflicted with blind sight insist that they are blind and behave accordingly (e.g. ,they fail to react to visual stimuli).Nevertheless,they do appear to perceive stimuli and will,for example,reach in the correct region of space for an object that they otherwise claim not to be able to see.What do instances like this suggest about the role of consciousness as it relates to behavior? Provide another example of cognition in healthy individuals that supports this role.
