【摘要】 近年来,神经成像的研究结果显示,在人类的腹侧视觉皮层内可能存在与特定类别刺激加工一一对应的类别信息加工区。但是,类别信息加工区是否具有特异性仍然存在争议。文章总结了相关研究领域对这一颇具争议的问题的研究结果,同时指出了末来研究可能深入的方向。这些方向包括:进一步探讨不同抽象水平的类别信息加工区域的特异性问题、检验类别信息加工区的拓扑分布观点、回答不同类别信息加工区之间的信息如何交流的问题、揭示类别信息加工区的学习机制。更多还原

【Abstract】 Recently,neuroimaging studies have shown that there might be certain modules in ventral visual cortex responsible for processing certain objects. However,whether those modules are category-specific is still not clear. The present review sums the relevant issues and provides possible directions for future research. It might involve: investigating whether subordinate regions are specific,testing the topologically distributed representation hypothesis,answering how category-specific areas communicate,and revealing the cognitive mechanism of these areas.更多还原
