Abstract
In the last seven years, philosophers have discussed the topic of transformative experiences. In this paper, we contribute to a crucial issue that is currently under-researched: transformative experiences' influence on cognitive modelling. We argue that cognitive modelling can be operationalized as affective forecasting, and we compare transformative and non-transformative experiences with respect to the ability of affective forecasting. Our finding is that decision-makers' performance in cognitively modelling transformative experiences does not systematically differ from decision-makers' performance in cognitively modelling non-transformative experiences. This claim stands in strict opposition to L.A. Paul's main argument.
在过去的七年里,哲学家们讨论了变革性体验这一话题。在本文中,我们将探讨一个目前研究不足的重要问题:变革性体验对认知建模的影响。我们认为,认知建模可操作化为情感预测,并就情感预测能力对变革性体验和非变革性体验进行了比较。我们的发现是,决策者在对变革性体验进行认知建模时的表现与决策者在对非变革性体验进行认知建模时的表现并无系统性差异。这一观点与 L.A. Paul 的主要论点完全相反。
