KembaraXtra-Psychology - autonoetic
Autonoetic means “self-knowing” and is used for the kind of consciousness tied to personally experienced events. Endel Tulving (born 1927) argued in 1985 that not all knowledge is autonoetic because a person may know facts about an event (when/where it happened) without having the subjective re-experiencing characteristic of episodic memory; knowing one’s birth facts without remembering birth is a common example. Autonoetic consciousness therefore involves mental time travel and subjective re-living.

Automorphic perception is a tendency to perceive other people as physically more similar to oneself than they really are; Modigliani’s repeated depiction of elongated faces resembling his own has been cited as an artistic example. It relates to egocentrism and the false-consensus effect.
