Abstract

Abstract: Using Eye-movement technology, the present study aim to investigate the feature of Han and Mongolian college students'cognitive process in the Scene-perception. The study finds that Inner Mongolian and Han college students are more concerned with the context, while Outer Mongolian college students are more focused on the salient objects. It suggests that both the cultural difference and blending can influence individual's cognitive processes. In summary, our study support that the social constructionist theory of ethnicity and polycultural psychology.

Key words: scene-perception, Mongolian, social constructionist theory of ethnicity, polycultural

摘要： 运用眼动技术对蒙古国蒙古族大学生、中国内蒙古蒙古族大学生和汉族大学生的场景知觉特点进行对比，旨在从文化差异与文化融合的角度探讨文化对认知的作用。结果发现，内蒙古蒙古族和汉族大学生的眼动指标无显著差异，均重视背景与前景物体的关系，而蒙古国大学生更加注意对前景物体的知觉，这与汉族和内蒙古蒙古族大学显著不同。文化差异影响个体的认知，文化融合会对认知产生建构作用，这种作用具有动态性。
