表征的基础

The Foundation of Representation

表征因其在认知活动中的重要作用而日益受到重视。表征的本体性和构造性对于认识表征具有重要意义。表征是作为认知对象的替代物而存在的,是可在思维中被加工的形式,其物质承担者是大脑神经系统,但目前对其所做的有意义的说明主要是在心理层面上。通过对知觉表征、自然语言表征和科学知识表征三个系统的讨论,可以看到构造方式对表征系统功能的重要影响,以及作为一个表征系统所必备的一些基本方面。

Representation plays an important role in cognitive activity, and it is paid more and more attention recently. Its ontological and constructive qualities are significant for understanding it. Representation exists as a replacement of cognitive objects, it is a form that can be processed in thinking and its material undertaker is the brain nervous system, but the substantial explanation is still on mental level at the present time. Based on the discussion about perceptional representation, natural language representation and scientific knowledge representation, it is showed that the constructive form has significant influence on the systematic function of representation and the basic aspects it possesses as a representative system.
