Abstract
The physical world provides humans with continuous streams of experience in both space and time. The human mind, however, can parse and organize this continuous input into discrete, individual units. In the current work, we characterize the representational signatures of basic units of human experience across the spatial (object) and temporal (event) domains. We propose that there are three shared, abstract signatures of individuation underlying the basic units of representation across the two domains. Specifically, individuated entities in both the spatial domain (objects) and temporal domain (bounded events) resist restructuring, have distinct parts, and do not tolerate breaks; unindividuated entities in both the spatial domain (substances) and the temporal domain (unbounded events) lack these features. In three experiments, we confirm these principles and discuss their significance for cognitive and linguistic theories of objects and events.

物理世界为人类提供了连续的时空体验流。然而，人类大脑可以将这些连续的输入信息解析并组织成离散的个体单元。在当前的研究中，我们描述了人类经验基本单元在空间（物体）和时间（事件）领域的表征特征。我们提出，在这两个领域的基本表征单位中，存在三种共享的、抽象的个体化特征。具体来说，空间领域（物体）和时间领域（有界限的事件）中的个体化实体都能抵御重组，具有独特的部分，并且不能容忍断裂；而空间领域（物质）和时间领域（无界限的事件）中的非个体化实体则缺乏这些特征。在三个实验中，我们证实了这些原理，并讨论了它们对物体和事件的认知和语言理论的意义。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Experimental Psychology: General publishes articles describing empirical work that bridges the traditional interests of two or more communities of psychology. The work may touch on issues dealt with in JEP: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, JEP: Human Perception and Performance, JEP: Animal Behavior Processes, or JEP: Applied, but may also concern issues in other subdisciplines of psychology, including social processes, developmental processes, psychopathology, neuroscience, or computational modeling. Articles in JEP: General may be longer than the usual journal publication if necessary, but shorter articles that bridge subdisciplines will also be considered.
