知觉符号理论及其研究范式

Paradigms in the Study of Perceptual Symbol Systems

知觉符号理论是第二代认知科学的核心理论之一,研究者采用多种实验范式、在各个领域对该理论进行了探讨。分析以往的研究发现,大量的研究主要探讨语言表征、概念获得、具身情绪、推理过程、社会认知和知觉符号发展等科学问题。本文对此领域的发展进行了简要梳理,特别是以实验范式发展为主线详细介绍了知觉符号理论的发展,并在此基础上提出了多元表征的思考。最后,对知觉符号理论的发展提出了展望。

Perceptual Symbol Systems is one of the core theories of the Second-Generation Cognitive Science. Researchers have used a variety of experimental paradigms in various fields to test it. Through the analysis of the previous studies, it was found that a large number of studies have focused on topics including language representation, perception and concept, embodying emotion, reasoning, social attitude and the development of perceptual symbols. The development of this field was firstly summarized briefly in the article. The aforementioned topics were used as the main thread in the article to introduce the development of Perceptual Symbol Systems in detail. Based on that, an idea of diverse representations was also proposed. Finally, a few suggestions for the development of Perceptual Symbol Systems were proposed.
