ABSTRACT

In this article, an account of the architecture of the cognitive contamination system is offered, according to which the contamination system can generate contamination representations in circumstances that do not satisfy the norms of contamination, including in cases of mere visual contact with disgusting objects. It is argued that this architecture is important for explaining the content, logic, distribution, and persistence of maternal impression beliefs – according to which fetal defects are caused by the pregnant mother’s experiences and actions – which in turn provide important evidence of the architecture of the cognitive contamination system.

摘要

在本文中，提供了认知污染系统架构的说明，根据该架构，污染系统可以在不满足污染规范的情况下生成污染表示，包括仅与令人厌恶的物体进行视觉接触的情况。有人认为，这种架构对于解释母亲印象信念的内容、逻辑、分布和持久性很重要——根据这种信念，胎儿缺陷是由怀孕母亲的经历和行为引起的——这反过来又提供了关于母亲印象信念的重要证据。认知污染系统。
