 The notion of nonconceptual content has also been utilized in specifying the representational contents of subpersonal states, such as those involved in the early stages of visual processing. Such states, it is suggested, have representational contents and yet it is unlikely that the subject undergoing those states has the concepts utilized in a theoretical description of the contents of those states. (More on the nonconceptual character of subpersonal states in section  4.2.)  Additionally, the notion of nonconceptual content has been utilized in the explanation of the behavior of nonlinguistic creatures or those that do not employ concepts. Since, ex hypothesi, such organisms do not have conceptual capacities, if we are to attribute to them states with representational contents at all the only contents available to us are nonconceptual representational contents. (More on the explanation of the behavior of nonlinguistic creatures in section  4.3.)
