颜色认知及其引申

Color Cognition and Its Consequence

认知科学对颜色的研究表明,关于颜色的相对性假说是不成立的,颜色的范畴化活动无论是在语言还是在认知方面都与生理的因素相关,因此颜色范畴具有泛人类、物种上的普遍性。认知科学对其他范畴的考察进一步表明,生理性的因素不仅决定了范畴化活动的必然性,而且决定了范畴的结构。认知科学的发现可以帮助我们重新审视一些比较有影响的哲学论题和观点。

Investigations on color made by cognitive science show that relativity hypotheses of color are untenable. Both cognitive and linguistic aspects of color categorization are related to physiological factors. Consequently, color categories appear to be a panhuman, species—specific universal. Approach to other categories argues more strongly that physiological factors determinate not only the necessity of categorization, but also the structure of categories. Discoveries of cognitive science may provide us with a deeper review on some philosophical theses or ideas.
