As a new learning theory, the constructivism idea of learning, which has many different
characteristics from other theories, has significantly enriched the theory of learning. However, it
has certain drawbacks. This article not only retrospects, from philosophical and psychological
views, the history of constructivism, but also explicates its unique argument of learning and some
opinions which are different from other learning theories. At last it makes a brief comment on the
Constructivism Idea of Learning.
5083.38 New development of interdependence theory, Zhao Ju, Central China Normal
University, China
Interdependence theory as a conceptual framework for analyzing the structure of interpersonal
situations is articulated by a group of prominent researchers in a variety of new directions. These
developments find parallels both in the Social Relations Model (SRM) and in the emerging field
of relation cognition. Via these expressive advances, an interdependence situation model (SABI) is
formed, in which the interaction (I) between person A and person B is a function of their needs,
thoughts, and motives in relation to each other (A and B) in the particular social situation (S) in
which the interaction occurs.

limitations is: it has the tendency of hereditary determinism; its viewpoint about the modularity of
mental mechanisms has some limitations; its methodology has some defects too.
5083.40 The Zero Qualia, Cao Bingli, Interdisciplinary Laboratory, Department of Physics,
Zhejiang University, China
Nowadays most scientists agree that the mind is one function of the brain, with a great
philosophical gulf called qualia, the subjective experience of the objective world, hardly
sidestepping. We think “qualia” is still entangled in the dualism, which takes the soul as an
independent thing contrasting with the body. Human’s consciousness is merely the property of the
extraordinarily evolved nervous system of human organism on the earth, entailed by interactions
on its level, equal to the property manifested by interactions between atoms or galaxies in a
universe view. The day we know how the brain works the “qualia” vanishes.
5083.41 Apperception and content-based psychology, Saariluoma Pertti, Cognitive Science,
Univversity of Jyvaumlsky, Finland
It is commonplace to think that the information contents mental representations are ground on
perception. Nevertheless, this conception entails problems, because we obviously have
non-perceivable kinds such as electron, possible, infinity, eternal, etc. For this reason, it can be
argued that we must postulate apperceptive processes in investigating the construction of mental
