Their work has served to connect familiar empiricist approaches to thought and reason with contemporary cognitive psychology and neuroscience. The work of Prinz is of special philosophical significance since it aims to bring together the work of neo-empirically minded theorists in the cognitive and neuro-sciences with main themes found in contemporary philosophical theories of intentionality and reference. In this paper, I examine Prinz＇s efforts to synthesize a neo-empiricist theory of concepts with contemporary semantic theories of reference and intentionality. In part one, I analyze Prinz＇s approach in some depth. In part two, I raise a question concerning the origins of intentionality. Specifically, I am interested in examining the minimum cognitive prerequisites for intentionality within Prinz＇s theory of perception-based representation. In part three, I raise a problem case for Prinz＇s account of the requirements for intentionality, and propose an adjustment in Prinz＇s account to meet the challenge of the objection.展开更多

Method： Fifty VD cases were randomized into 5 groups, which were treated with routine points, routine points plus Baihui （GV 20）, routine points plus Shuigou （GV 26）, routine points plus Shenmen （HT 7）, and routine points plus the above-mentioned three points together respectively. The scale of elderly cognitive function （SECF） was measured before and after the treatment for statistical management. Results： The total score of SECF was markedly increased after Baihui （GV 20）, Shuigou （GV 26） and Shenmen （HT 7） were added to the routine points, more specifically, with addition of Baihui （GV 20）, the patients with VD got increased scores in such aspects as orientation, instant memory, long-term anamnesis, animal names, cancellation and calculation, and classification and analogy; with addition of Shuigou （GV 26）, the patients with VD got increased scores in such aspects as orientation, cancellation and calculation, and classification and analogy; with addition of Shenmen （HT 7）, the patients with VD got increased scores in such aspects as digital scope, animal names, and classification and analogy. Conclusion： Baihui （GV 20）, Shuigou （GV 26） and Shenmen （HT 7） could improve the cognitive function of patients with VD, and the combination of the three points got the best result despite their respective specificity.展开更多
