Which of the following statements is true? A. The babies didn’t have a sense of direction. B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects. D. The babies couldn’t tell a ball from its optical illusion. 04重庆D Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you! Parapsychologistssay that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologistat the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments. In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjectswere eating, drinking, reading studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were started at than if they had just guessed. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves. 查看更多

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid.At the movies,we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise,all we will feel is air.But does a baby have this understanding?

  To see whether babies know objects are solid,T.Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(视觉影像)of a hanging ball.His plan was to first give babies a real ball,one they could reach out and touch,and then to show them the illusion.If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air,they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements.All the 16-to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.

  Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence.We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door,the box will still be there when we corne back.But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to nevernever land?

  Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old.In his experiments,Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen.When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen,they looked to the right,expecting it to reappear,If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen,all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train.This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence.But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case.The researcher substituted(替换)a ball for the train when it went behind the screen.The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train.But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch(更换).Thus,the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence”,while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.

To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.
Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land (想像中的地方)?
Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch (更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.
