联想似乎是我们认知生活中一个很大很自然的部分。正如弗兰克·凯尔（Frank Keil）和罗伯特·威尔逊（Robert Wilson）所写的那样：“当一种认知活动如此普遍，以至于它既表现在学龄前儿童的无聊问题中，也表现在几十年学术努力的成果中时，人们不得不问，我们是否真的有同一种现象，或者仅仅是不同的基于认知的现象，这些现象是松散的，甚至是隐喻性的。“这本书是不寻常的，在其跨学科的方法，无处不在的活动。文章解决了关于解释的五个基本问题：解释能力如何发展？有什么解释吗？解释是否与知识领域相对应？我们为什么要寻求解释，而它们又有什么作用？原因对解释的重要性有多大？这些文章借鉴了科学史和科学哲学、心灵和语言哲学、儿童概念发展、成人概念变化以及人类和人工系统推理方面的工作。他们还介绍了来自计算机科学，语言学和人类学的新兴解释观点。贡献者：Woo-kyoung Ahn，William F.放大图片作者：Patricia W.作者：Clark A.放大图片创作者：Andy Clark，Robert康明斯，Clark Gaviour，Alison Gopnik，克莉丝汀约翰逊，Charles W.作者：Frank C.作者：Robert N.作者：Gregory L.放大图片作者：Ala Samarapungavan，赫伯特A.放大图片作者：Robert A.威尔逊
Explanations seem to be a large and natural part of our cognitive lives. As Frank Keil and Robert Wilson write, "When a cognitive activity is so ubiquitous that it is expressed both in a preschooler's idle questions and in work that is the culmination of decades of scholarly effort, one has to ask whether we really have one and the same phenomenon or merely different cognitively based phenomena that are loosely, or even metaphorically, related." This book is unusual in its interdisciplinary approach to that ubiquitous activity. The essays address five basic questions about explanation: How do explanatory capacities develop? Are there kinds of explanation? Do explanations correspond to domains of knowledge? Why do we seek explanations, and what do they accomplish? How central are causes to explanation? The essays draw on work in the history and philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind and language, the development of concepts in children, conceptual change in adults, and reasoning in human and artificial systems. They also introduce emerging perspectives on explanation from computer science, linguistics, and anthropology. Contributors: Woo-kyoung Ahn, William F. Brewer, Patricia W. Cheng, Clark A.
