儿童心理理论解释模型的新范式——具身模仿论述评

A New Paradigm on Interpretation Model of Children's Theory of Mind——The Commentary of the Embodied Simulation Theory

模仿论作为儿童心理理论解释模型中最具代表性的范式之一,认为儿童是通过把他人与自身相"类比"而获得有关他人心理状态的知识的。这种论调虽然符合日常经验,但是却因陷入了Descartes主义设下的"第一人称权威"困境而广受诟病。文章介绍了一种兴起于第二代认知科学中的模仿论新范式——具身模仿论,通过分析其神经科学基础(镜像神经元),论证了具身模仿论对经典模仿论的超越,并在此基础上对该范式的未来研究进行了展望。

As one of the most representative paradigms in interpretation model of children＇s theory of mind, Simulation Theory thinks that children have the knowledge of other minds state by making analogies between oneself and others. Such an argument is in accord with routine experience, but it is widely criticized because of falling into Descartes set of first person authority difficulty. The study introduced a newly paradigm： Embodied Simulation Theory （EST）, rising from the second-generation cognitive sciences. By analyzing its neuroscience basis （Mirror Neuron）, the study demonstrated embodied simulation theory transcendence to classical simulation theory, and on the basic of which, prospected its research development in future.
