摘要: 直接社会知觉立场在认识论上质疑了基于理智主义的他心观。理解他心不是像后者所预设的“心智思考另一个心智”,而是应该被视为“具身心智知觉另一个具身心智”。作为直接社会知觉的实体理论,具身模拟论强调对心智模拟的核心概念进行再利用,经由镜像神经元活动产生的运动模拟,以一种直接的、自动化的、前反思的加工方式来直通他心。然而,这种模型面临如下五个问题:相似的大脑-身体系统并非社会互动的必要条件;自身运动能力并非理解动作意图的必要条件;镜像神经元经典实验的解释并非不可兼容于心智化;具身模拟并非是在刺激贫乏而是在刺激丰富背景下产生的;镜像神经元是联想学习而非与自然选择的产物。

Abstract: Based on intellectualism, many mainstream researches anticipate understanding other minds as “one mind thinking about the other minds”. In recent years, however, this view has been challenged by the “direct social perception” (DSP). According to DSP, problems of accessing to other minds should not be regarded as “mind thinking about minds”, instead, the explanandum in intersubjectivity must include “embodied mind perceiving embodied minds”. As a substantive theory of DSP, embodied simulation (ES) emphasizes on reusing the core concept of mental simulation and posits a motion simulation as an automatic, unconscious, pre-reflective mechanism to go straight to the other minds, which is generated by the activities of mirror neurons. I propose five problems that should be fulfilled in order to support ES, and brake on direct access to other minds: (1) the similarity of brain-body system is not necessary for social interaction; (2) the priming of ES is affected by plenty of stimulus rather than the lack of stimulus; (3) activation of own motor program is not necessary for action understanding; (4) the accounts for classic experiments of mirror neuron is compatible with mentalizing accounts; (5) mirror neurons originate from sensorimotor associative learning rather than gene-based natural selection or adaptation.
