商品描述

The human ability to effortlessly understand the actions of other people has been the focus of research in cognitive neuroscience for decades. What have we learned about this ability, and what open questions remain? In this Element the authors address these questions by considering the kinds of information an observer may gain when viewing an action. A 'what, how, and why' framing organises evidence and theories about the representations that support classifying an action; how the way an action is performed supports observational learning and inferences about other people; and how an actor's intentions are inferred from her actions. Further evidence shows how brain systems support action understanding, from research inspired by 'mirror neurons' and related concepts. Understanding actions from vision is a multi-faceted process that serves many behavioural goals, and is served by diverse mechanisms and brain systems.

人類毫不費力地理解他人行為的能力,已成為認知神經科學研究的焦點數十年。我們對這種能力有了哪些了解,還有哪些問題尚待解答?在這篇文章中,作者們通過考慮觀察者在觀察行為時可能獲得的信息類型來回答這些問題。一個「什麼、如何和為什麼」的框架組織了關於支持對行為進行分類的表徵的證據和理論;行為的執行方式如何支持觀察學習和對他人的推斷;以及如何從行為中推斷出演員的意圖。進一步的證據顯示,大腦系統如何支持行為理解,這些研究受到「鏡像神經元」和相關概念的啟發。從視覺中理解行為是一個多方面的過程,服務於許多行為目標,並由多樣的機制和大腦系統提供支持。
