Maybe the distinction sometimes made between personal and subpersonal
cognitive processes can do some work here. Various ways of drawing that
distinction, for example Fodor's distinction between cognitive modules
and central processes. Started more looking into mirror neurons a bit
more last I taught a horror film course a few years ago and think it has
potential to shift certain aspects of viewership towards the subpersonal
side.
