对当前具身认知发展的心理学反思

作为认知科学的一种新取向,具身认知对传统认知科学的发展具有较大贡献。但其自身也面临着缺乏统一的理论体系、可重复性不足、具有还原论与物理主义倾向等问题。因此具身认知应加强自身理论的统一性与兼容性,通过确凿的实验与数据加强自身的可重复性,构建起一个多样性的、统一的具身认知体系,才能最终走出当前具身认知发展过程中的诸多困境,真正获得其应有的学科与历史地位。
As a new developmental orientation of cognitive science, embodied cognition has made great contributions to the development of traditional cognitive science. However, embodied cognition has its limitations. Without a unified theoretical system, it displays low repeatability and tendencies towards reductionism and physicalism. Hence, embodied cognition should enhance its theoretical unity and compatibility, as well as its repeatability with the help of valid experimental data. Then, it is possible for embodied cognition to get out of the present dilemma and build a diversified and unified system, thus finding its place in history as a real discipline
