我们认为,比较心理学家过于急于对他们的数据进行元认知解释。我们比较详细地研究了两个这样的案例。一种是所谓的“不确定性监控”行为,我们用风险的一阶估计来更好地解释这种行为。另一个与信息搜索有关,我们认为,这可以用一种类似好奇心的动机来更好地解释,这种动机将问题引向环境。
We argue that comparative psychologists have been too quick to jump to metacognitive interpretations of their data. We examine two such cases in some detail. One concerns so-called “uncertainty monitoring” behavior, which we show to be better explained in terms of first-order estimates of risk. The other concerns informational search, which we argue is better explained in terms of a first-order curiosity-like motivation that directs questions at the environment.
