Meta-representation The Emergence of meta-representation (a hypothesis) How did meta-representation develop? Genetic change? ÷ Module in the brain? ÷ Emergence? + Emergence We use the term emergence when the following donditions are satisfied: a) Population of N individuals, N >> 0 b) If a and b are ”close” they modify each others activity pattern c) Given the activity of a at t0 one cannot predict its activity at t0 + t d) At the global level there is synchronized activity e) d) is an effect of b) Problem: How can we describe b) in the case of human interaction? The modification of activity patterns in humans is based on: a) Neonates attend to and imitate facial expressions b) Imitation of the adults action on outside objects (M. Tomasello) c) Imitation of speech sounds An example Language structure might be an emergent property of c) Conditions for language to evolve a)The vocal tract b) Brain regions for the production, ordering, and memory of speech sounds c) Pathways that connet the phonological system with the conceptual system d) The imitative scheme described above Imitation might be based on the mirror system in the brain Mirror neurons found in monkeys (G. Rizzolatti) Evidence for their existence in humans (M. Jeannerod) Suggestions for a more general function in humans (V. Gallese) The mirror system ensures: a) we attune to the expressions of the other b) Our understanding of the others intentional act is embodied and immediate Imitation Different representations of strategy and goal Strategy ≠ goal Embodied representations of different strategies for the same goal Systems for comparing and choosing Meta-reflection Levels of representation Meta-reflection on goal vs strategy Goal behavioral strategy (embodied schemes) Motor schemes The main occupation of the brain is prediction Meta-reflection is a consequence of failed prediction Prediction ≠ result Awareness of the strategy Counterfactual strategy actual strategy Counterfactual strategy Comparison reflection Language Different perspectives on the same situation ”you broke the window” vs. ”the window was broken” Language Communication Embody different perspectives Meta-cognition Language Speech repair Attention to the act of speech Reflection on the form of speech Language Meta-discourse Embody external monitoring of behavior Self-reflection Literature: Rizzolati, G. et al.
