| contents | Chess and content-oriented psychology of thinking Pertti Saarilouma Psicología chess information processing content oriented psychology In this paper a number of principles for content-oriented cognitivepsychology will be presented in the context of research into chess playersinformation processing. It will be argued that modern theoretical concepts ofattention, imagery and memory are based on underlying concepts of capacityand format and that these concepts are not sufficiently powerful to expressall phenomena associated with mental contents. Instead, one must develop agenuinely content-oriented theoretical language to discuss, for example,contents and their integration into thinking. The main problem is how toexplain the contents of representations. Why do representations haveprecisely the contents that they have. Here the main attention will befocussed on the question how can one explain the selection of contentelements in representations. To formulate the basic concepts of contentorientedthought research several issues must be discussed. Firstly, it will beshown that traditional attention and memory research is capacity-orientedand therefore unable to express mental contents. Secondly, it will be arguedthat there are content phenomena which must be explained by properties ofother content phenomena. Thirdly, it will be shown that in chess, peopleintegrate information into representations by using functional rules orreasons, i.e. concepts and rules, which tell why some information contentsmust be included in a representation. It will then be shown that peopleintegrate information around learned thought models whose contents,together with functional rules or reasons, explain and clarify the contentstructureof a mental representation. It will also be argued that the analysis ofcontents is metascientifically closer to linguistics with its basic method ofexplication and content analysis than natural sciences, which form the mostcommon underlying model in current experimental psychology. Finally,content-oriented cognitive psychology and its presuppositions will becompared with neural and computational approaches to show that it gives anadditional and alternative theoretical resource, but not a contradictoryconceptual platform, to the previous theoretical ways of working with humanthinking. 2001 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16922108 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.1 Vol.22 |
