读心的模拟说进路

The Simulation Theory Approach to Mindreading

本文从几个方面考察了日常生活中的读心能力实现的主要进路之一模拟说,交待了模拟说作为理论说的对立方出现的背景,复制策略、最小努力原则和离线机制三种模拟形式,几组支持模拟说的有力的实验证据,以及模拟说在遭到质疑时的各种辩护,说明了读心过程和读物过程存在巨大差异,模拟说对于读心研究而言的确存在诸多理论说所不可比拟的解释优势,但读心始终是一个不可将理论因素完全排除在外的过程,它容纳模拟与理论甚至更多进路的结合。

In this article,I introduce one of the main approaches to mindreading in everyday life.I make clear the background that simulation theory came up as the opposite of Theory Theory,the three kinds of simulation,several groups of experimental evidences which stand for Simulation Theory,and some defensive discourses against the doubts from the opposers.All of those show that there are considerable differences between mindreading and ＇matter-reading＇,there are many advantages of explanation for Simulation Theory,but it is still impossible to kick all of the theory factor out of the game of mindreading,it is better to combine the two or even more approaches together.
