摘要
早期认知心理学倾向于接受传统逻辑学的观点,认为归纳推理起源于因果性。近年来,认知心理学的实验研究表明因果性起源于人对时间关系和空间关系的认识。本文的研究指出,一般意义上的时间关系可以还原为空间关系。于是,在追溯归纳推理基础心理机制的道路上,出现了这样一个线索:归纳推理源于对因果性的认识,因果性起源于时间关系,而时间关系又是空间关系的衍生,因此,归纳推理起源于对空间关系的认识。
The earlier cognitive psychology tended to follow the idea of traditional logical theroies which thought that inductive inference originated from causality. Recently, cognitive psychology has testified that causality originates from temporal and spatial relations. In our article, we will regress temporal relation to spatial. Under the path in quest of origin of inductive inference, there is such a cue that is： ＂inductive inference originated from causality; and causality originates from temporal and spatial relations; and temporal relation can be regressed to spatial. ＂ Whereupon we could say that it is Spatial relation which supports inductive inference.
