这卷是基于第一次跨学科会议之一,重点放在早期发展神经认知。现在已经清楚地确定,人类婴儿在他们生命的早期就处理复杂的事件,如面部和语音。现在的关键问题是阐明这些能力是如何产生和发展的:是什么样的机制使信息处理系统对相关的生物信号既特异又适应,与环境输入的相互作用如何促进神经元的功能组织,促进能力的发生和变化,以及婴儿能力和胜任力的各种连续变化是如何相互关联的。这些是本书要解决的一些问题:它们对神经生物学家、神经心理学家、心理学家和语言学家构成了重大挑战。人类认知发展不仅本身是一个迷人而重要的问题,而且对于理解成人能力所涉及的神经生物学机制也至关重要。1992年7月举行了一次会议,作为本卷的基础。会议本着跨学科交流的精神,汇集了相关科学领域的一些杰出国际专家。他们的贡献涵盖了关于这些主题的最新研究,包括一些令人兴奋的新概念进展。
This volume is based on one of the first interdisciplinary meetings to focus on early developmental neurocognition. It has now been clearly established that human infants process complex events such as faces and speech sounds quite early in their life. The crucial problem nowadays is to elucidate how these competences emerge and develop: what kinds of mechanisms are involved that make information processing systems both so specific and so adaptive to the relevant biological signals, how the interactions with the environmental inputs contribute to the neuronal functional organization, to the onset and changes in competences, and how the various successive changes in infants' abilities and competences relate to each other. These are some of the questions addressed in the present volume: they constitute major challenges to neurobiologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists and linguists. Not only is human cognitive development a fascinating and important issue per se, it is also crucial to understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in adult competences. The meeting on which this volume was based was held in July 1992. It brought together some outstanding international specialists in the relevant scientific fields in a spirit of interdisciplinary exchange. Their contributions cover the latest research on these topics and include some exciting new conceptual advances.
