时间推理是人们对事件的时序、时距和时点进行推论的心理过程。时间推理是基于一定的表征来进行的 ,不同的表征系统对时间推理的效应不同。如词表表征方向效应和距离效应 ,数字表征产生越界效应。还可以进一步看到 ,对时间信息进行推理 ,实质上就是对时间信息的表征进行信息加工。例如 ,对于词表表征和数值表征 ,就分别有计数的加工和运算的加工两种方式。特别值得指出的是 ,即使对相同的表征 ,也可有不同的加工方式。当前有关时间推理的研究 ,都是从信息表征和内部操作的角度来进行研究的 ,最能体现当前认知心理学研究的特色 Time reasoning is a psychological process in which people make inferences about the timing, timing and timing of events. Time reasoning is based on certain representations, and different representations have different effects on time inference. As the lexical table characterizes the direction effect and the distance effect, the digital characterization produces the cross-border effect. It can be further seen that inference of time information is essentially the processing of information on the characterization of time information. For example, for the word list characterization and numerical characterization, there are two ways of processing the counting and processing respectively. Of particular note is that even for the same characterization, there may be different ways of processing. The current researches on time reasoning are all conducted from the perspective of information representation and internal operation, and can best embody the characteristics of current research on cognitive psychology
