Abstract: The current study investigated how inhibition is processed in belief-desire reasoning and tested two models of inhibition proposed by Leslie based on the Theory of Mind Mechanism and Selection Procession. Two experiments were conducted using three location double-inhibitive task and their variant versions, with 216 children aged 4 to 6 year old, to investigate respectively how the mental set and equality of the three locations would influence children’s preference. Results showed that both factors play a role in influencing children’s behaviors. Removing the effects of the two factors, children's behaviors could be explained by Leslie’s Inhibition of Return model, that is, children’s processing of inhibition is serial in double-inhibition task.

摘要: 在Leslie的心理理论机制选择加工模型(ToMM-SP)理论的基础上,本研究探讨信念-愿望推理任务中抑制是如何加工的,并验证Leslie提出的两个抑制模型。采用三地点双重抑制任务,对216名4~6岁儿童实施两个实验。分别考察心理定势及三个地点公平性这两个因素对儿童选择偏好的影响。结果表明,两种因素都对儿童的表现有影响。消除了这两个因素的影响后,儿童的表现符合返回抑制模型的假说,即儿童在回避愿望的错误信念任务中的抑制加工是系列的。
