摘要

溯因推理是为一系列观察结果寻找最佳解释的过程。由于可能的观察结果和相应的解释可能非常多,因此人们普遍认为工作记忆的能力与成功的溯因推理密切相关。然而,推理和工作记忆容量之间的确切关系在很大程度上仍然不清楚。在对两个实验(N = 59)的再分析中,我们首先调查了推理表现是否因工作记忆容量的差异而不同。其次,通过眼动追踪,我们探索了工作记忆的各个方面与视觉空间推理过程之间的关系。我们使用了工作记忆测试(语言-数字/空间)和智力测试。结果表明,推理精度与空间存储成分和智力之间存在明显的关系。过程测量表明,高工作记忆能力可能导致使用策略来优化溯因推理所基于的心理表征的内容和复杂性。结果讨论了有关记忆对眼球运动的影响的现有理论和文献。

More than storage of information: What working memory contributes to visual abductive reasoning
Abductive reasoning is the process of finding the best explanation for a set of observations. As the number of possible observations and corresponding explanations may be very high, it is commonly accepted that the capacity of working memory is closely related to successful abductive reasoning. However, the precise relationship between reasoning and working memory capacity remains largely opaque. In a reanalysis of two experiments (N = 59), we first investigated whether reasoning performance differs due to differences in working memory capacity. Second, using eye tracking, we explored the relationship between the facets of working memory and the process of visuospatial reasoning. We used working memory tests of both components (verbal-numerical/spatial) as well as an intelligence measure. Results show a clear relationship between reasoning accuracy and spatial storage components as well as intelligence. Process measures suggest that high working memory ability might lead to the use of strategies to optimize the content and complexity of the mental representation on which abductive reasoning is based. Results are discussed in relation to current theories and the existing literature on the effects of memory on eye movements.
