“生成认知”、“互动理论”与“预测加工模型”——“他心问题”的新思考

"Enactive Cognition","Interaction Theory"and"Predictive Processing Model"——A New Look at“the Problems of Other Mind”

"他心问题"是认知科学领域的热点和难点。"生成认知"视域下的"互动理论"有望整合传统的他心理论,形成统一的社会认知纲领。文章首先介绍了"互动理论"的认知科学背景,对"生成认知"如何作为认知科学新转向进行了考察;其次,梳理了"互动理论"的核心主张,对"肉体间性"如何解决意义生成难题进行了深入分析;最后,尝试回答了"互动理论"的局限性问题,讨论了"预测加工模型"如何能用数学化思维廓清"表征黑箱",并建立了一个"互动理论"的"预测加工非表征模型"。文章结论认为,"生成认知"、"互动理论"与"预测加工模型"的联动可能是彻底解决"他心问题"的一种最佳组合,未来也将为认知科学新统一范式的数学化趋势提供借鉴意义。

“The problems of other mind”is a hot and difficult point in the field of cognitive science.“Interaction theory”from the perspective of“enactive cognition”is expected to integrate the traditional theories of“the problems of other mind”to form a unified platform in the field of social cognition.Firstly,this paper answers the background of cognitive science of“interaction theory”for seeking the meaning of“enactive cognition”as a new turn of cognitive science for“the problems of other mind”.Specifically,this part introduces the theory of“enactive cognition”.As a science that studies the mysteries of human mind,the ultimate inquiry of cognitive science is the strong continuity thesis between Life and Mind.From the perspective of“enactive cognition”,the fundamental reason for the cognitive gap lies in the failure of the individualism assumption prevailing in the methodology of traditional cognitive science.Therefore,“enactive cognition”believes that the key step to bridge the cognitive gap is to return to the social context and identify how meaning is generated.Secondly,it answers the“interaction theory”itself for seeking how“interaction theory”solves the meaning’s generation of“the problems of other mind”.Specifically,this part investigates the concept of“intercorporeality”.“The problem of other mind”should answer“Participatory sense making”in order to solve the meaning generated in the philosophy of mind,while the“interaction theory”stressed that the meaning of“intercorporeality”is created through“behavior matching”and“interactional synchrony”between the body and body without“mental representation”.However,is“the problem of other mind”reduced to the complex dynamic cycle of the brain,body and world itself if“interaction theory”leaves out“representation”?Finally,the paper tries to answer the limitation of“interaction theory”for seeking how the“predictive processing model”can clear out the black box of“representation”by using mathematical thinking mode,Specifically,this part establishes a“predictive processing non-representation model”of“interaction theory”.The intergenerational struggle in cognitive science is“representation wars”.In the rebellion against behaviorism,each iteration of cognitive science presuppositions that there must be a black box(representation)between perception and action.As a leading theoretical paradigm in cognitive science,recently“PP model”is considered to be helpful to quantitatively understand the core claims of"cognitive science"because studies have shown that the mathematical model of“PP model”can also be integrated with the“the problem of other mind”.In the future,the combination of“enactive cognition”,“interaction theory”and“predictive processing model”may be the best combination to completely solve“the problems of other mind”,which also provide a reference for the mathematization trend of the new unified paradigm of cognitive science.
