ABSTRACT
Despite their differences, body schema and the body image representations are not only consistent in everyday life, but also sometimes consistent in pathological disorders, such as in Alice in Wonderland syndrome and anorexia nervosa. The challenge is to understand how they achieve such consistency. Recently, we suggested that these two representations were co-constructed (Pitron & Vignemont, 2017). In his reply, Gadsby (2018) invited us to clarify how this co-construction works and to what extent the body schema and the body image can reshape each other. Here we motivate conceptual grounds for a model on which these two forms of representation modify one another and explore theoretical options for the way(s) in which they might do so. In particular, we highlight the virtues of a serial model in which the body schema has some primacy over the body image, while also acknowledging the special role played by the body image.
