Consciousness is intrinsically linked to cognitive function through scientific study, as the study of consciousness directly applies to its immediate cognitive functions [1], though often distinguished in frameworks like Chalmers' 'hard problem' of subjective experience versus the 'easy' cognitive functions such as self-monitoring [2][3]. Critics like Dalton note that theories like Global Workspace Theory account for the cognitive function of consciousness but not its experiential aspect [4], while it correlates with cognitive and behavioral functions without those explanations fully capturing consciousness itself [5].
