 There is some work in which the Feature Integration Theory has been pressed into the service of more ambitious explanatory goals. That theory plays an important role in John Campbell’s 2002 attempt, in Reference and Consciousness, to use attention to explain how the reference of demonstrative expressions gets fixed by their producers, and understood by their consumers (see section  3.2).  Treisman herself suggests, albeit tentatively, that descendants of the Feature Integration Theory may provide part of the explanation for “the bound, unitary, interpreted, personal view of the world of subjective experience” (Treisman, 2003, 111). She goes on to suggest, again tentatively, that the sort of explanation that such a theory provides “should give us all the information there is about the conditions that create consciousness” (op cit).
