Multiple Constraints on Objectivity Existing in the Mind

Abstract

Whether the human brain has completely retained the objective reality from the outside world at some point during information processing is a question that awaits discussion. Answering this question can not only provide necessary supplementation and evaluation for the relevant evidence of information processing, but also enrich the research related to cognitive psychology. To explore whether objectivity and objective reality exist in the human brain, this article studies multiple classic literatures and the experiments therein, and claims that (1) inattentional blindness and the human brain's reconstruction of memory to some extent filter external reality; (2) functional interference at the neural level of the cerebral cortex prevents information from remaining as it is during processing. (3) pre-distinctions in language and culture also lead to different interpretations of objective reality among individuals. Therefore, this article holds that objective reality does not exist within the human brain; what can be presented in the brain is merely a subjective reality that is subject to multiple interference and filters.
