神经科学与读写能力:一个整合的观点

Neuroscience and Literacy: An Integrative View

George Ellis, Carole Bloch

摘要:

扫盲教学和学习在全球范围内存在重大挑战。为了应对这些挑战,应该考虑大脑如何工作的关键特征。首先,感知是一个主动的过程,基于检测感官数据和动作结果的分层预测中的错误。阅读是这种非线性预测过程的一个特例。其次,情绪在潜在的认知功能中起着关键作用,包括口头和书面语言。负面情绪会削弱学习的动力。第三,听/说和读/写之间并不存在进化论中经常声称的根本区别。两者都是社会文化实践,都是由社会大脑的沟通需求驱动的。第四,听力和阅读都是在语境中发生的理解的心理社会实践,由当前的知识和文化背景和实践塑造。第五,大脑的自然运作并不像语言学的标准观点所认为的那样是基于规则的:它是基于统计模式识别的预测。这一切都对广泛引用的“简单阅读观”的狭隘解释提出了质疑,该观点认为显性解码是理解的必要途径。阅读的两条神经通路中,有一条不涉及这种明确的解码过程,而且可以从最早的几年开始激活。反映阅读过程的非线性背景性质的大脑功能的综合观点意味着,从一开始就持续关注个人意义和理解,为学习阅读和写作的各个方面提供了积极的条件。

英文摘要:

Significant challenges exist globally regarding literacy teaching and learning. To address these challenges, key features of how the brain works should be taken into account. First, perception is an active process based in detection of errors in hierarchical predictions of sensory data and action outcomes. Reading is a particular case of this non-linear predictive process. Second, emotions play a key role in underlying cognitive functioning, including oral and written language. Negative emotions undermine motivation to learn. Third, there is not the fundamental difference between listening/speaking and reading/writing often alleged on the basis of evolutionary arguments. Both are socio-cultural practices that are driven through the communication imperative of the social brain. Fourth, both listening and reading are contextually occurring pyscho-social practices of understanding, shaped by current knowledge and cutlural contexts and practices. Fifth, the natural operation of the brain is not rule-based, as is supposed in the standard view of linguistics: it is prediction, based on statistical pattern recognition. This all calls into question narrow interpretations of the widely quoted "Simple View of Reading", which argues that explict decoding is the necessary route to comprehension. One of the two neural routes to reading does not involve such explicit decoding processes, and can be activated from the earliest years. An integrated view of brain function reflecting the non-linear contextual nature of the reading process implies that an ongoing focus on personal meaning and understanding from the very beginning provides positive conditions for learning all aspects of reading and writing.
