Abstract

We question Spelke's key claim that the medium, in which contents from different core knowledge systems can be represented and combined, is language-based. Recalling an episodic memory, playing chess, and conducting mental rotation are tasks where core knowledge information is represented and combined. Although these tasks can be described by means of language, these tasks are not inherently language-based. Hence, language may be an important subset of an abstraction medium - not the medium as such.

要表示和组合不同的核心知识要素，需要的不仅仅是语言。

我们质疑斯佩尔克的关键主张，即不同核心知识体系的内容可以通过语言来表达和组合。回忆片段记忆、下棋和进行心智旋转都是表征和组合核心知识信息的任务。虽然这些任务可以用语言来描述，但这些任务本质上并不以语言为基础。因此，语言可能是抽象媒介的一个重要子集，而不是媒介本身。

期刊介绍： Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) is a highly respected journal that employs an innovative approach called Open Peer Commentary. This format allows for the publication of noteworthy and contentious research from various fields including psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, and cognitive science. Each article is accompanied by 20-40 commentaries from experts across these disciplines, as well as a response from the author themselves. This unique setup creates a captivating forum for the exchange of ideas, critical analysis, and the integration of research within the behavioral and brain sciences, spanning topics from molecular neurobiology and artificial intelligence to the philosophy of the mind.
