心智表徵sam1 zi3 biu2 zing1mental representation;呢個英文名意思係「心靈入面嘅代表」噉解)係認知科學神經科學等領域上常用嘅一個概念:喺呢啲領域嘅科學家普遍認為,人類心靈裏面有一啲心智表徵;每一個心智表徵代表咗個心靈處理緊嘅一份訊息[1],可以係代表個心靈對某啲事物或者邏輯關係嘅概念了解。

舉個例說明,一個人心裏面會對「一張」係乜嘢樣有個概念,呢個概念係對佢見過嘅凳嘅抽象化(abstraction)-噉講意思即係話,佢見過嘅凳查實張張都唔同樣,但呢啲唔同嘅凳會有某啲共通點,呢啲共通點會組成佢心目中象徵「凳」嘅心智表徵,令到佢曉分辨邊啲物件係凳邊啲唔係[2][3]

現時嘅學界認為,心靈會用數碼(digital)同模擬(analog)等嘅多種方式記住唔同嘅心智表徵,前者指一啲精確而且離散(discrete)嘅數值,例如係記住一個日期噉(日期嘅數值唔會有小數點),後者指一啲連續性(continuous)嘅數值,例如係記住某件物件喺某一刻嘅光暗度噉(光暗度嘅數值理論上可以喺小數點後有多個位)。「心靈會用多種方式記住啲心智表徵」嘅諗法係雙重編碼理論(dual-coding theory)嘅基礎[4]

"The notion of a "mental representation" is, arguably, in the first instance a theoretical construct of cognitive science. As such, it is a basic concept of the Computational Theory of Mind, according to which cognitive states and processes are constituted by the occurrence, transformation and storage (in the mind/brain) of information-bearing structures (representations) of one kind or another."
