Staddon and Higa's article is a critique of scalar expectancy theory, and a proposed alternative, multiple time scales. The critique is generally flawed, both factually and logically. The alternative is bewildering in its flexibility, opaque in its quantitative description, and never addressed to real data.
斯塔登和希加的文章是对标量期望理论的批判,以及一种提出的替代理论——多时间尺度理论。这种批判在事实和逻辑上普遍存在缺陷。该替代理论在灵活性方面令人困惑,在定量描述方面晦涩难懂,而且从未针对实际数据。
