Abstract

Abstract The behavioural evidence of sensorimotor activity during conceptual processing, along with that from neurological research, ignited the debate around the extent to which concept representations are embodied or amodal. Such evidence continues to fuel the debate but it is open to interpretation as being consistent with a variety of the theoretical positions and so it is possible that further, similar evidence may not lead to its resolution. In this paper we propose that independent value accrues from following this line of research through the enhanced understanding of the factors that influence agents’ conceptual processing of action and how this interacts with the agent’s goals in real environments. This approach is in line with broad principles of embodied cognition and is worthy of pursuit regardless of what the results may (or may not) tell us about conceptual representation.
概念和行动:具体化的争论把我们带到了哪里?
摘要概念加工过程中感觉运动活动的行为证据,以及神经学研究的证据,引发了关于概念表征在多大程度上被体现或扭曲的争论。这些证据继续引发争论,但它可以被解释为符合各种理论立场,所以进一步的类似证据可能不会导致其解决。在本文中,我们提出,通过增强对影响主体对行动的概念处理的因素的理解,以及这与主体在现实环境中的目标如何相互作用,独立价值从遵循这一研究路线中产生。这种方法符合具体认知的广泛原则,值得追求,无论结果如何(或是否)告诉我们概念表征。
