The three-dimensional model of interoception by Garfinkel et al. (2015) holds significance in psychological research, with many studies built upon its classification. However, recent investigations have highlighted several limitations of this model, such as its lack of comprehensiveness and discrepancies in research findings. In this paper, I first delineate the three-dimensional model and the methodology for studying interoception, exemplified by tasks like heartbeat counting. Second, the limitations of the three-dimensional model are discussed. New models and research methods proposed to address these limitations are then reviewed. Lastly, the points that should be considered in future research on interoception are discussed.
