Abstract: As a core issue in the academic circle, consciousness is still hanging in doubt in the philosophy of mind. Research of change blindness not only reveals how the mind works, but also provides a reference for naturalizing the mental contents, in particular issues of the representation, comparison and discrimination in visual information processing. Based on the literature review of change blindness research, the characteristics of information processing in change blindness were revealed, and the visual information processing was explored from the perspective of information competition. It was found that the hierarchical hypothesis of visual information processing works better than the consciousness-related neuronal in dealing with difficult issues of consciousness.

Key words: change blindness, visual information, information of representation, information competition, hierarchy
