Abstract

Thinking and Perceiving defends the claim that thought not only affects perceiving, thought improves perceiving. It thus defends a malleable architecture of the mind, opposite strong modularist views that claim that perception is informationally encapsulated and thus cognitively impenetrable. The argument for this view centers around cases of perceptual expertise. Experts in a wide variety of domains—radiology, birdwatching, elite athletics, fingerprint examination—have been empirically studied using behavioral, neural-physiological, and computational methods. This convergence of evidence is best explained in terms of cognitively sensitive perceptual improvements. And these improvements amount to epistemic virtue, where the virtue is partly resident in perception and credited to the perceiving agent. The view has far-reaching implications for a wide range of issues, including the epistemology of perception, the contents of perception, theory-ladenness in science and social perception, understanding and self-understanding, and aesthetic taste.

思考和感知的过程
《思考与感知》捍卫了思想不仅影响感知,还能改善感知的观点。因此,它捍卫了一种可塑的思维结构,与强烈的模块化观点相反,后者声称感知是信息封装的,因此认知是不可渗透的。支持这一观点的论据围绕着感性经验的案例展开。各种领域的专家——放射学、观鸟、精英运动员、指纹检查——已经使用行为学、神经生理学和计算方法进行了实证研究。这种证据的趋同最好用认知敏感的知觉改善来解释。这些改进构成了认知上的美德,而这种美德部分地存在于感知中并归功于感知主体。这一观点对感知的认识论、感知的内容、科学与社会感知的理论负荷、理解与自我理解、审美趣味等诸多问题都具有深远的意义。
