Many philosophers have argued that the subjective character of conscious experience results in a fundamental deficit of third-person (henceforth: extrospective) access to first-person experience. By comparing extrospective measurement techniques with measurement techniques in the natural sciences, we will argue that extrospective methods suffer from no such deficit.

After a rejection of some principled objections against extrospective methods, a historical comparison with the development of measurement techniques in the natural sciences will show that extrospective measuring methods are still in an early stage of development. However, they can be significantly improved by way of a bootstrapping strategy, similar to that which has proven successful in the development of physical measurement techniques. One reason to expect such improvement is the availability of multiple sources of evidence, which should allow for substantial advances in extrospective measurement techniques. Finally, we will discuss new developments in pain measurement in order to show that the bootstrapping strategy is already bearing fruit.

测量心理

许多哲学家认为,有意识体验的主观特征导致第三人称(以下称为外向)无法获得第一人称体验。通过比较外向性测量技术与自然科学中的测量技术,我们将论证外向性方法没有这样的缺陷。

在驳回了一些反对外向性方法的原则性反对意见之后,与自然科学中测量技术发展的历史比较将表明,外向性测量方法仍处于发展的早期阶段。然而,它们可以通过引导策略得到显着改进,类似于在物理测量技术的发展中已被证明是成功的策略。期待这种改进的一个原因是多种证据来源的可用性,这应该允许外向性测量技术的重大进步。最后,我们将讨论疼痛测量的新发展,以表明引导策略已经取得成果。
