In humans, whilst functional imaging has shown that fronto-parietal areas are activated by a range of different cognitive demands, the actual content of representation remains unclear.

The content of representations in abstract thought might then, it might be proposed, be derived from their role in perception.
That is, it does not seem to be a necessary condition on the nonconceptual content of representations in general that they be insulated from the propositional attitudes; at least in the case of personal level representations this necessity condition fails.
This same analysis of our power of representation also claims to establish the distinction between the form and content of representations, the necessity of both receptivity and spontaneity on the part of the power of representation, the necessary multiplicity of sensations, and the unknowability of things in themselves.
In this form it clearly mixes a meta-statement about the representation with the content of the representation.
One approach would be to try to describe certain situations in which only the right causes can produce the representation in question and to maintain that the content of the representation is whatever can cause the representation in such situations.
So, whether one associates form of judgment with the 'syntactic' structure of a representation that is involved in the judgment, or with the content of that representation, or with the structure of what the representation is about, the relationship between (L4) and (L2) will in part depend on whether one thinks the logical constants themselves contribute to content.
Hutto (2013) argues that action-oriented accounts of representation cannot offer a viable notion of causally relevant content because "the contents of representations do not make a causal difference, only formal or vehicular properties do;" when one assumes computationalism, then the only causally relevant factors are forms of symbols in computers, irrelevant of their semantics.
In particular, it is proposed that the posterior brain regions play a general role in maintaining the actual contents of representations, as the delay-period activity is correlated with the numbers of objects held in WM (Todd & Marois, 2004; Vogel & Machizawa, 2004).
The three letters 'R E D' can represent red without themselves being red; and the same applies, mutatis mutandis, for 'L O U D' and 'S Q U A R E'. Generally speaking, the properties of a representation (that which is doing the representing) and the content of that representation (what is represented) can differ dramatically.
Given the new ability to determine much of the content of a representation, it should be possible to determine what distinguishes the representations of individuals or special populations.
