According to RCO News Agency, citing the Vice Preside for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, the research project “Two Ways to Social Knowledge: A Multidisciplinary Approach” with the support of the National Science Foundation of Iran and by Ali Yousefi Harrisa faculty member of Shahid Beheshti University, has been done; A project that tries to explain the theoretical foundations and paths of cognitive science from a perspective technologically and read multithreaded.
Yousefi Harris Poiing out that cognitivism has been the domina paradigm in cognitive science for about a decade, he stated: This approach explained all meal abilities, including social cognition and mind reading, based on computational mechanisms and symbolic represeations. According to him, in the framework of cognitivism, the analysis of meal abilities was mainly based on the understanding of the functioning of these computational mechanisms.
He added: With the formation of the “Knowledge” approach bodyAt the beginning of the new ceury, the main assumptions of cognitivism were challenged, especially regarding the role of the environme and the body in cognitive processes. This change of approach also made the field of social cognition undergo conceptual changes and an importa part of the studies of the last decade, in the framework body It was designed and explained.
This researcher coinued: despite the widespread acceptance of this approach by experimeal researchers, its concepts and theoretical foundations are still facing ambiguity, and it has not yet been clarified whether the explanations body Really in terms of nature and mechanism with explanations cognitivist Are they fundameally differe or not?
He emphasized: The implemeation of this research is importa because it provides a clearer picture of the assumptions of the approach body preses and evaluates its explanatory power compared to cognitivism. Without such conceptual analysis, it will be difficult not only to ierpret the results of empirical studies, but also to measure the effectiveness of theories body It also becomes impossible.
Yousefi Harris In the end, he noted: This research can help to resolve some importa conflicts in the philosophy of psychology and neuroscience and provide the basis for designing more precise conceptual frameworks in future experimeal studies.
