Pylyshyn的索引理论:视觉表征方式的新解释

Pylyshyn's Index Theory:A New Perspective of Visual Representation

视觉索引理论是解释人类表征外部世界的一种新理论。首先回顾了索引理论的产生背景,在此基础上阐述索引理论的基本假设以及在不同范式下如多客体追踪、线条错觉运动、前概念选择和感数与计数分离研究所提供的证据。接着,简介其在特殊教育、人机交互和语言学领域的应用。最后,针对新近研究引发对索引理论基本假设的争论如前注意加工是否涉及注意资源、索引阶段对特征信息和时空信息加工的分离等,提出相关研究建议。

The FINST model is a new theory explaining how human represent the outer world. Based on the context of index theory, some hypotheses of FINST and its experimental demonstrations in different paradigms such as multiple object tracking, line-illusory motion, pre-conceptual selection and subitizing are formulated in details. Then,some applicable areas including special education, human-computer interaction and linguistics are introduced. At last, some suggestions are put forward as to challenges to the basic hypotheses made by recent findings.
