Based on the perspectives of psychology of philosophy,studying the problem of ps ychological explanation will play a guidance role in the development of ps ychological explanation.It does matter with the judgement of the reasonability for psychological explanation as one style of the scientific explanation.It also means a lot for understanding and thinking about the concept of category of psychology.It is helpful for clarifying the reasonable question of commonsense psychology and unifying the whole of the research of psychology.But there is no enough materials for the special research of psychological explanation.The purpose of this paper is to entail a comprehensive analysis for the psychological problem,categorical problem,interface problem,the problem of the relation between the realizer and the role,thus revealing the nature of t he psychological explanation problem.This article consists of t he introduction,five systematic chapters' discussions and the conclusion.The first chapter,the origins of psyc hological explanation problem.This chapter firstly introduce four historical forms of psychology illustrating the vast areas of the psychology and the complex of the psychology.Secondly,dividing the contemporary psychology research object into daily life behavior and the research of s pecified scientific object to study.Although these two types looked distinctive,all of them belong to the object of the psychological explanation and fit to the demand of concepts-cluster in psychological explanation.Lastly,analysis the autonomy of psychological explanation based on the diversity,complexity of t he objects and the subjective intention all.The second chapter,related concept category and the interface problem for psychological explanation.The purpose of this chapter is to testify the related concept and category for understanding all of t he objects in the question at the view of the phycology.This chapter is divided into three parts.The first part is to make the inevitability of t he problem for psychological explanation from three perspectives.This inevitability come from the special status,the incommensurability between the psychological explanation from different subjects and the problem of “heart-heart”.The second part discussing the four aspects of c ommonsense psychology in order to prepare for the reality of the psychological explanation.The third chapter provide the interface problem normally.We must understand the interface problem is the core of psy chological explanation.It is the coherence between the commonsense psychology and the sub-personal explanations by abstraction of the interface problem at the level of philosophy.The third chapter,the dilemma and the strategy for solving the interface problem with the help psychology explanation.The autonomous mind,the functional mind,the representational mind and the neurocomputational mind all forming a research spectrum completely.From the autonomous mind insisting the uniqueness and irreducibility of personal-level psychology to the neurocomputational mind holding the Eliminativism,forming a spectrum degrading step by step.Within this spectrum,based on the basic theory of each point,it can be divided into different arguments.Such as,dennett view the “token-identity”,Davidson “anomalous monism”,Hornsby “explananda”,Lewis “reductionism” mind,Gulick “purpose guidance”,Fodor “the language of thought hypothesis”,Rey “rational” thinking,as well as the Churchland and Sejnowski “co-evolutionary research ideology”.The fourth chapter,the construction blending of ps ychological explanation plans.This chapter mainly discussed the plight of propositional attitude is implemented,the vehicle of propositional attitude and the content,based on artificial neural network to construct propositional attitude of the three parts is discussed in this part.Before and after the three parts,the content has obvious logicality,the purpose of this chapter is based on the characterization of p ath,trying again on t he artificial neural network to realize propositional attitude.Because propositional attitude has structural properties,symbols can realize semantic at syntactic level,and this is precisely what lacks common artificial neural network.Ordinary continuity symbols,artificial neural network is structured.So given the nature of the propositional attitude,using the tensor product of programmed based framework is successfully realized the role of pr opositional attitude.But there is still an artificial neural network being functional structure and systemic constrained problem.The fifth chapter,the psychological explanation of re construction: a new attempt.As the last chapter,this chapter is steering to mechanism from the methodology to solve the interface problem changes with representations throughout.Through the concrete analysis,we can determine that the propositional attitude is not expected to have the extensive explanation effect on schedule.In the face of such situation,both the development of one of the great achievements of mirror neurons in neuroscience theory and the rewiring hypothesis of defining language role are to bypass the propositional attitude,studying the feasibility of the modeling of intentionality.Intentionality modeling is not to eliminate completely the explanation of representations,but by two way communication to achieve real realization of the propositional attitude.The conclusion is both a general summary of above and the analysis of the situation the psychological explanation may face.Firstly,both propositional attitude at the core of the cognitive process and the peripheral cognitive process including module mechanism play roles in explaining and predicting behavior;Secondly,according to the expectations of the present artificial intelligence level,the agent is analyzed based on the perspective of philosophy,which is of great enlightening significance to further construct the models of representations or discover new mechanism.
