论社会认知的获得

On the Attainment of Social Cognition

在社会认知理论中,心理论和经典模拟论都是诉诸推理与想象的间接解决策略。具身模拟观试图直接以共享的神经激活模式推及心理状态的等价性,然而,镜像神经系统不是简单的用于理解或预测的具身模拟,而是在社会互动过程中以实时的、社会适宜的方式与世界的积极耦合。生成认知理论提供了一条启发性路径,社会认知本质上不是"读心"和模拟,而是行动者与世界规则性耦合的共享的意义建构活动。

Based on inference and imagination,both ＂theory of mind theory＂and ＂simulation theory＂are indirect solutions in social cognition. In contrast,embodied simulation theory tries to draw a psychological equivalence conclusion from shared neural activation patterns. Nevertheless,it is infeasible. The mechanism of mirror system is not used to understand or even to predict,but rather to couple with the world actively in real time and in a socially appropriate fashion. From an enactive perspective,social cognition is not mind reading or simulation,but is grounded on the participatory sense-making activity,which is based on and supported by the dynamics of interaction between the cognitive agent and the environment.
