I argue that Murayama and Jach's claim that higher-order motivational constructs face the "black-box" problem is misconceived because it doesn't clearly distinguish between personal and subpersonal explanations. To solve it they propose interpreting motivations as causal effects of mental computational processes. I suggest that their solution might be more compellingly presented as providing a fictionalist perspective on some personal-level constructs.
我认为，村山和亚奇关于高阶动机结构面临“黑箱”问题的说法是错误的，因为它没有清晰地区分个人层面的解释和亚个人层面的解释。为了解决这个问题，他们建议将动机解释为心理计算过程的因果效应。我认为，他们的解决方案或许可以更有说服力地呈现为对某些个人层面的结构提供一种虚构主义的视角。
