듀이의 경험이론에 담긴 ‘경험 연속성’의 뇌과학적 고찰

초록

The purpose of this study is to examine and interpret the validity of Dewey's theory of experience by focusing on the concept of "continuity of experience" in his theory of experience and comparing brain science theories related to it. Focusing on the 'memory' mechanism and the 'neuroplasticity' theory identified in brain science, the relationship with the principle of continuity of experience was examined. First, from the perspective of the brain's memory mechanism, the hippocampus's CA3–CA1 pathway is a key circuit for neurobiologically understanding Dewey's 'continuity of experience'. CA3's interaction with CA1 demonstrates the process by which past experiences are reconstructed into present experiences and current experiences are fused to the basis of future experiences. Second, it can be seen that the neuroplasticity of brain science is the core basis for Dewey's experience continuity to materialize in the brain. New experiences change the physical structure of the brain through structural plasticity. Repetitive experiences induce functional plasticity, reinforcing pathways associated with specific experiences.
