This theory (basically that we act instinctively then after acting the process of remembering that action lets us form an explanation) won't surprise anyone who has read Thinking, Fast and Slow.
It has analogies the the field of "explainable AI" too, where systems take decisions neural networks make, probe the boundaries of them and attempt to present them in ways we can understand.
It strikes me as plausible that what we call consciousnesses (as well as "intelligence") arise from the information compression process this explanation requires.
