THE METHOD OF SET-THEORETIC DESCRIPTION OF PROCESSES: APPLYING IN THE INTELLECT STUDY
Abstract
In the article the authors present interpretations of some theories of intellect with the aid of the method of set-theoretic description of process (S-method of process description), developed by them. There are considered descriptions of intellectual processes which components are: the modus of intellectual operations, the modus of the thought object, other modi. The authors show differences between the S-method description of intellectual processes and chosen theories of intelligence. Application of the method provides a consideration of intelligence as a system of processes through the description, for each step changes, of the initial states of components (Prototypes), their final states (Images) and laws of changes (Functions). Theories of intelligence are built on different theoretical foundations and focus on different aspects of intelligence. But these differences were not significantly affect by the use of S-method. The procedure of S-interpretation in all cases was carried out, it seems to us, is quite simple – we had no need to make adjustments to the method or to carry out special theoretical studies. Given S-interpretations differ from interpreted theories by universal description form. It is shown that the S-interpretations for theories of intelligence give a much larger number of options for intellectual processes description. This, in particular, significantly expands the number of hypotheses that deserve empirical testing. Besides it becomes possible to study the set of unobservable background factors.
