«Whereas the idea of the brain as working in inferential way was initially meant to describe automatic and implicit perceptual processes (Helmholtz, 1867, 1925), which has been extended to the claim that delusions and hallucinations are similarly based on automatic and unconscious inferences (Adams et al., 2021; Mishara, 2007), most computational paradigms on clinical delusions operationalize and isolate deliberate reasoning, which relies on type 2 cognition, is explicit, deliberate and routed in rational theory and cognitivism. Computational psychiatry thus seems to represent a fusion of ideas, conceptually merging cognitivism, and rationalism with automatic, unconscious inferential Bayesian accounts.»
