领域特异性的概念--这意味着神经加工的某些方面是针对特定类型的刺激--被用来解释一系列认知现象,包括语言、面孔知觉和心理理论,并一直是认知结构理论的标志。这一概念的最新用法来自神经科学数据,尤其是社会神经科学领域的工作。对领域专一性概念在人脑功能理论中所起作用的批判性考察使我们提出了一种新的观点,根据这一观点,领域专用性属于对信息处理的中央产生的限制,既可以是动态的,也可以是上下文敏感的。
The concept of domain specificity — which suggests that some aspects of neural processing are specialized for particular types of stimuli — has been invoked to explain a range of cognitive phenomena, including language, face perception and theory of mind, and has been a hallmark of theories of cognitive architecture. More recent usage of this concept draws on neuroscientific data and, in particular, on work in social neuroscience. A critical examination of the part that the concept of domain specificity has played in theories of human brain function leads us to suggest a new view according to which domain specificity pertains to centrally generated constraints on information processing that can be both dynamic and context sensitive.
