【 摘 要 】
The central argument of the present article is that Cognitive Psychology’s problems in dealing with the concept of “cognitive capacity” is intimately linked with Cognitive Psychology’s long-lasting failure of coming to terms with the concept of “representation” in general, and “task representation” in particular. From this perspective, the role of instructions in psychological experiments is emphasised. It is argued that both a careful conceptual analysis of instruction-induced task representations as well as an experimental variation of instructions promises to broaden our understanding of the role of task representations as a determinant of limited cognitive capacity.
