| A new nerve scientific discovery—mirror neuron is considered as important as the discovery of DNA. It has become the "Study Beloved" in the Neuroscience fields, cognitive science fields, philosophy fields, psychology fields and linguistics field over past decade. Many cognitive experts and scholars, such as the famous philosopher Goldman and cognitive linguist George Lakoff, etc. are right to be concerned about it. But for a pity, the study of mirror neuron has not been concerned as important as foreign scholars. The concept of "mirror neuron" is not familiar to the common people. First, this paper discuss the results of the mirror neurons system. Then study its social value and significance of cognitive, thus attract more researchers.Mirror neuron is a special kind of neuron system that existed in the brains of humans and Primates. The system is closely related with human understanding, sympathy, learning, emotional and other psychological exchange activities, the study of mirror neuron will conduct an in-depth study of philosophy, psychology and other disciplines, and it's great significance for the study of the problems been not solved for a long time.Specifically, the first part discusses the mirror neurons in the overall sight, summarizes, sorts several important experiments, and achieve a panoramic view of it. In the second part, this paper focuses on three aspects of the mirror neurons in the social cognitive significance analysis. First, "Hume—sympathy" and the "mirror—sympathy" are discussed. Recalling Hume and Smith's sympathy theory, the thesis explains how the "compassion" happened under the mirror neurons mechanism, in order to solve the problems in Hume's sympathy theory - how does the individual understand others. Secondly, researching into the "empathy". From "Empathy" in Dilthey and Husserl theoretical system extended to mirror neurons Empathy study, Empathy is proved by "shared manifold" showed among individual body pictures. This study provides precise details that are absent in Dilthey and Husserl theoretical system. Finally, we achieve a higher level of cognitive activity—discussion of "mind-reading", "sympathy" and "Empathy" is the specific performance of cognitive ability. Starting from the "mind—reading" area, the theory expounded on struggle of the theory of theory and simulation theory. And through the reasonable argumentation of simulation theoretical analysis by Goldman, one of the experts of simulation theory, the thesis proves that mirror neurons mechanism fuse the simulation theory, and the study of mirror neurons provides of solid scientific proof for the simulation theory.In addition, the paper about a third of the mirror neurons in further research. From the mirror neurons in the application to explore the theory of human language strategy. In a word, the great scientific discoveries of nerve has great explanatory power. It's necessary that more relevant fields scholars concern, discuss and study more. |
