 In relation to the “normative” nature of mental content, much attention is paid to the possibility of misrepresentation, since the distinction between correct and incorrect representation is arguably central. In fact, a capacity for misrepresentation is often regarded as essential for genuine representation (see esp. Grice 1957). Some state B, for instance, can only be a belief that today is sunny if B is true when the day is sunny and false when the day is not sunny. In other words, B only qualifies as a representational state of this particular kind if it is capable of misrepresenting the world under certain conditions. And the same holds, mutatis mutandis, for representational states of most kinds.
