The author discusses the relevance of the semiotic perspective for the psychological studies in order to deal with some critical issues. In the view of the author, the presumed weakness of psychology, its difficult to be acknowledged among hard sciences, and the lack of worldwide acceptance of its constructs cannot be solved by an evolutionary perspective that risk to cut off many relevant features of living beings and human beings as well. The core of the issue remains untouched. Assuming a wide semiotic paradigm, the mind can be considered a situated, recursive and contextual process of sensemaking engaged in articulating a flow of signs. The process of semiotic mediation is a crucial point at stake: the use of signs is not only to refer/point something or to communicate a message in coded forms, but it is to create models of world in order to think, to act and to share experiences. By a wide range of semiotic processes (iconic, indexical, symbolic), each living specie create its own world. Continuities and discontinuities with humang beings are presented and discussed.

心理学中的符号学范式。符号思维定义的成熟世界观。

作者讨论了符号学视角与心理学研究的相关性，以处理一些关键问题。在作者看来，心理学的假定弱点，很难在硬科学中得到承认，并且其结构在世界范围内缺乏接受度无法通过进化的观点来解决，因为进化的观点有可能切断生物和人类的许多相关特征。问题的核心仍未触及。假设一个广泛的符号学范式，头脑可以被认为是一个情境化的、递归的和语境的意义建构过程，参与表达符号流。符号中介的过程是一个至关重要的关键点：符号的使用不仅是指代/指向某物或以编码形式传达信息，而且是创造世界模型以便思考、行动和分享经验。通过广泛的符号学过程（标志性的、索引性的、象征性的），每个生物物种都创造了自己的世界。介绍和讨论了人类的连续性和不连续性。
