Abstract

ヒトとヒト以外の動物における論理を比較すると, 多くの種で共通するものと, ほとんどヒトにしか見られない特殊なものとがある.前者の代表例として推移的推論, 後者の代表例としては刺激等価性の成立, が挙げられる.本論文では, 両者に関するこれまでの知見を紹介し, それらの推論形式がどのような個体発生的・系統発生的要因によって支えられているかについて概説する.そして, 刺激等価性という, 潜在的に非論理的な導出を含む推論様式が, ヒトのシンボル操作能力の発達, 特に意味の獲得に促進的に働いている可能性について論じる.

There are some types of logic that are shared or not shared by humans and nonhuman animals. An example of the former is "transitive inference", and that of the latter is "establishment of stimulus equivalence". In this paper, we review the results of the previous studies on these different types of logic, and discuss about the ontogenetic and phylogenetic factors that support them. Especially, we argue the possibility that the establishment of stimulus equivalence, which implicitly involves illogical inference, would develop the ability of symbol manipulation, and facilitate the acquisition of the meanings of the symbols.
