Where I am going with this is that by your criteria of cognitive thought defining a person, since Nicholas has attention and that is an aspect of cognitive thought, you can either accept he is a person by your definition or give it another go with a different definition of person.
He has not met the required criteria, he cannot think about what has grabbed his attention. It's like a reflex, some plants react when you touch them too. That doesn't mean they're aware of their existence. The plant doesn't stop and think, "Oh, I wonder what touched me?"
I'll be back in about an hour and a half, Phil.
