後認知主義(postcognitivism)泛指認知科學中的某些運動,這些運動的主張反對諾姆·喬姆斯基、傑里·福多、大衛·馬爾等人所提出的認知主義理論,或跨越了這些認知主義理論設下的限制。
後認知主義者挑戰認知主義的信條,包括本體二元論、表象實在論(representative realism)、認知是獨立於心智和神經系統之外的歷程、電子計算機是心智的恰當類比,以及認知只發生在個體內部。[1]
遵循後認知主義方向的研究人員包括Hubert Dreyfus、格雷戈里·貝特森 、Bradd Shore、傑羅姆·布魯納 、Vittorio Guidano 、Humberto Maturana和弗朗西斯科·瓦雷拉 。 [2]
