3-5岁儿童意图状态推理中的偏差现象

The Curse of Intention Reasoning in 3-to 5-year Children

以判断正误的得分和原因解释的得分作为测量指标,以90名儿童为被试,采用意图冲突推理任务来考察3-5岁儿童对意图状态推理的偏差。结果表明在意图冲突推理任务中,与自己打算去做某事的情况相比,儿童在自己不打算去做某事的条件下更容易正确推理他人的意图,表现出了推理偏差。此结果支持了表征不可通达假设。

The current study investigated the status of intention reasoning based on 90 children （aged 3 to 5 years） within the context of conflicting intention reasoning tasks. We used the scores of children＇s judgments and the ones of the explanations as the indexes of their performances. Compared with the condition of self-planning to do something, children could more accurately reason other＇s intention with the condition of not self-planning to do something. It was showed that children＇s reasoning about other＇s intention experienced asymmetry curse. These results supported the hypothesis that ＂representation is not to be attached＂.
