Following an early claim by Nelson & McEvoy (35) suggesting that word associations can display 'spooky action at a distance behaviour', a serious investigation of the potentially quantum nature of such associations is currently underway. In this paper quantum theory is proposed as a framework suitable for modelling the human mental lexicon, specifically the results obtained from both intralist and extralist word association experiments. Some initial models exploring this hypothesis are discussed, and experiments capable of testing these models proposed.
尼尔森和麦克沃伊(35)早期曾宣称,词语联想可能呈现出“超距作用行为”,目前正在对这种联想潜在的量子性质展开深入研究。本文提出将量子理论作为一个适用于对人类心理词汇进行建模的框架,特别是适用于对词表内和词表外词语联想实验所获得的结果进行建模。文中讨论了一些探索该假设的初始模型,并提出了能够检验这些模型的实验。
