术语“外延过宽”的详细信息

英译术语:

overextension

汉语语境:

外延过宽，指婴幼儿在概念形成过程中普遍存在的一种言语现象。他们受知识经验水平限制，思维概括水平不高，对概念内涵认识不清，缩小了概念内涵的范围，从而在概念形成时导致外延过宽，如把苹果也当作“蔬菜”。随年龄的增长、知识经验的增加及抽象概括能力的提高，这种现象逐渐消失，为科学概念所代替。

英语语境:

Overextension refers to a phenomenon of a speech widely found in infants and young children in the process of concept formation. Restricted by limited knowledge and experience, lower thought generalization, unclear understanding of the concept connotation, they narrow the scope of the concept connotation, thus forming the wide extension of the concept. For example, apples are mistakenly called as “vegetables“. When they grow older, their knowledge, experience increased and abstract generalization ability enhanced, this phenomenon gradually disappears, replaced by the scientific concept.
