Abstract

In this commentary, we approach the topic of linguistic relativity from a predictive coding perspective. Discussing the role of "priors" in shaping perception, we argue that language creates an important set of priors for humans, which can affect how sensory information is processed and interpreted. Namely, languages create conventionalized conceptual systems for their speakers, mirroring and reinforcing what is behaviorally important in a society. As such, they create collective conceptual convergence on how to categorize the world and thus "streamline" what people rely on to guide their perception.

感知的语言优先顺序。
在这篇评论中,我们从预测编码的角度来探讨语言相关性的话题。在讨论“先验”在塑造感知中的作用时,我们认为语言为人类创造了一组重要的先验,它可以影响感官信息的处理和解释方式。也就是说,语言为说话者创造了传统化的概念系统,反映并强化了社会中行为上的重要内容。因此,他们在如何对世界进行分类方面创造了集体的概念趋同,从而“简化”了人们用来引导他们感知的东西。
