Judgment / Evans: thinks that intuition and concept must be divided among experience and judgment. (McDowellVs). information system / Evans: its states are independent of beliefs. Beliefs cannot explain the contents of a perceptual experience, because it could be that you have no beliefs with an appropriate content!
Belief / EvansVsMcDowell: should be understood in a more demanding way, namely as a judgment with reasons. This does not mean that they always explicitly arise in an active opinion-forming process.
  Beliefs are dispositions to judgments and judging is an act of spontaneity.

Memory/Evans: There is also memory activity on a non-conceptual level: that of the information system (perception state). E.g. It seems that something was the case in this or that way. These are no freely floating images whose reference to the past is read into them by the subject.
I 542
ShoemakerVsEvans: the impression that memory-based judgments about oneself are free of identification is based on a linguistic triviality: we would not say of a person whose information comes from someone else "he remembers". EvansVsShoemaker: but it is not true that the freedom of identification is a mere illusion: EvansVsStrawson: rather, he exposes himself to the accusation.
Fra I 543
Of taking advantage of the linguistic phenomenon, when he tries to prove the freedom of identification in question looking at the extraordinary utterance "I remember clearly that this memory took place, but did it take place in me?". Memory/Shoemaker: Memory-based judgments depend on identification and are therefore not immune to misidentification: E.g. we can imagine that the apparent memories of a person were in reality causally derived from other people (false memory). E.g. complete duplicate of a person (clone). (s) too absurd to be a convincing example.
Fra I 544
Shoemaker: "Quasi Memory": "Q memory". E.g. if there are such false memories, then it seems to make sense to say "someone stood before a burning tree, but was it me?" EvansVsShoemaker: even if this is possible, it does not follow that normal judgments must be based on an identification! It’s not about distinction: "someone stood ... I was the one".
