关系类别及其学习机制

Relational Category and Learning Mechanism

关系类别是指类别的成员身份由一个共同的关系结构决定。其意义来自于其与其他实体的关系或其内部的一系列成分间的关系,关系类别强调关系结构的系统性。文章重点介绍和评述了相似性种类,关系类别和实体类别的联系和差异,关系类别的学习过程及机制———结构—映射理论。未来的研究方向主要是探索新的研究范式,以深入理解关系类别的学习;深入探讨校准和映射过程与其他基本认知过程的相互作用,为关系类别的学习提供更一致的认知观点。

Relational category is defined that category membership is decided by a common structure of relations,and its significance is the relationship with other entities or the relationship of a series of internal components.Relational category emphasizes the systematicity of relational structure.The current review focuses on the types of similarity,the relation and difference between entity category and relational category,the learning process of relational category as well as the learning mechanism-structure-mapping theory.The direction of future research is to explore the new research paradigm of categorization,deeply understand the learning of relational category,explore how the process of alignment and mapping interacts with other basic cognitive processes,and provide a more consistent view of cognition about the learning of relational category.
