The New Approach Of Cognitive Science: Non-linear Self-organization Embodied Cognition Schema

With the development of computer science, neuroscience, psychology and other disciplines, cognitive science forms, which is the subject of modern cross-disciplinary research. After decades of development, a prevalent cognitivism has established, which theoretical core is mainly based on representation and computation, and considers that the human brain is the operation of the system to deal with the form of symbols, cognitive and intellectual activities of any algorithms are based on the sense of Turing computable. Although this approach is still prevalent, however, in the course of the study, it is faced with many difficulties of theory and operation, many are perhaps insurmountable difficulties. On the contrary, embodied cognition theorists favor a relational analysis that views the organism, the action, and environment as inextricably linked. Embodied cognition emphasizes the formative role the environment plays in the development of cognitive processes, which means cognition process can only form in interaction with environment. At present, the research in cognitive science by domestic and foreign academics has made great progress, new research approaches largely focused on the embodied cognition, stressed cognitive embodiment, situatedness, emergent etc.; These features of cognitive science that are involved in the cognitive process can only form in interaction with the environment, but it is a problem worthy of further study whether this interaction is bound to create a clear understanding, or through or through which kind of structure or sequence form cognition. By I. Prigogine's inspiration, I think that cognition should be a process which is "from chaos to order" non-linear self-organization system. I. Prigogine argued that the open system relies on material and energy flow (including information flow) of the outside world to maintain, when the open system exchange materials, energy and information with the external environment, the process is a state of disorder and non-equilibrium, in this state, the fluctuations of one or a small number of factors may determine the whole system changes. Cognitive scientists argued that the cognitive principle is embodiment; it ruled out the cognitive system is an isolated balance system, which should be an open system in a non-equilibrium state, then, in this open system, when the brain receives an information point or piece of information, it is not immediately clear understanding of image formation in the brain. Instead, Just started when cognition is in a chaotic state by information input, in this non-equilibrium state, each factor "fluctuation" of the human brain may lead to the emergence of self-awareness, so cognition is such a self-organizing process, which characteristics are non-equilibrium state, random, from chaos to order. In my opinion, no matter what special areas of cognitive science, however, the cognitive system is, in fact, consistent with such an open non-equilibrium model of self-organization .So I advocate the scheme of cognition is not inconsistent with the current cognitive basic characteristics(embodiment, situatedness. emergent etc.), and coincided, because these characteristics only can be displayed in such a system. If the new schema has vitality, it must be superior to the old schema in the functions of explain and foreseen at the same time. The non-linear self-organizing cognitive schema is accordance with non-linear picture of the universe; it is based upon exploratory analysis with embodied theory, the article stand that it is more accordant with cognitive process than cognitivism, it is better to the function of explanation than cognitivism. In other words, we are born in such a picture of universe, and evolve in it, so it is persuasive that organism should be consistent with the picture of the universe. It is crucial that the new schema has the excellent function of foreseen, it opens up a train of thought for cognitive research. Then, it is a good inspiration that models cognitive system along Prigogine's order out of chaos self-organization model. Therefore, the new schema provides a good approach for cognitive research, and opens up a new direction for us.
