 Similarly, Carruthers (2011; see also Bem 1967, 1972; Rosenthal 2001; Cassam 2014) argues that the evidence of Nisbett, Gazzaniga, Wegner, and others (reviewed in Section 4.2.1 above) shows that people confabulate not just in reporting the causes of their attitudes but also in reporting the attitudes themselves. For example, Carruthers suggests that if someone in Nisbett and Wilson’s famous 1977 study confabulates “I thought this pair was softest” as an explanation of their choice of the rightmost pair of stockings, they err not only about the cause of their choice but also in self-ascribing the judgment that the pair was softest. On this basis, Carruthers adopts a self/other parity view (see Section 2.1 above) of our self-knowledge of our attitudes, holding that we can only introspect, in the strict sense, conscious experiences like those that arise in perception and imagery.
