What is it about?
The notion of “multiple drafts” is one that has attracted the attention of researchers working within the “microgenetic” framework to perception and cognition, deriving from the work of Heinz Werner (1948). Dennett and Kinsboume's (1992) position can be further explored with reference to this earlier literature. The present commentary attempts to ground the D&K model within this larger theoretical debate.

Perspectives
When the BBS target paper presented Dennett's notion of "multiple drafts," I saw the inherent similarity to Heinz Werner's notion of microgenesis. This commentary embeds the newer notion within the older framework, and signals my first presentation of microgenetic theory.
