Monkeys em to have a way with numbers.
A team of rearchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and lective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward.The rearchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
申论考多久Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone,who led the team,described the experiment:In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens.On one part of the screen,a symbol would appear,and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown.For example,the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8.If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with ven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle,they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests,the rearchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time,indicating that they were performing a calculation,not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more cloly,they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were clo in value—sometimes choosing,for example,a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.The underestimation was systematic:When adding two numbers,the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two,and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.

You know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious,as if you have lost your connection to the world.“Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) 8affects teenagers and adults alike.You can even do an online test to e if you have it.Last week,rearchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone.Their study found that people who u their phones to store,share and 1access personal memories suffer most.When urs were asked to describe how
they felt about their phones,words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
“The findings of our study suggest that urs regard smartphones as their extended lves and get 2attached to the devices,” said Dr Kim Ki Joon.“People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when 9parated from their phones.” Meanwhile,an American study shows that smartphone paration can lead to an increa in heart rate and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you paration anxiety?Professor Mark Griffiths,psyc
hologist and director of the International Gaming Rearch Unit at Nottingham Trent University,says it is what is on the phone that 4counts—the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).
“We are talking about an Internetconnected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths.“You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager becau their whole life is rooted in this device.”
安答应11Griffiths thinks attachment theory,where we develop emotional dependency on the phone becau it holds details of our lives,is a small part of nomophobia.For “screenagers”,it is Fomo that creates the most paration anxiety.If they can’t e what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram,they become panicstricken about not knowing what’s going on socially.“But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no Internet,” says Griffiths.
1.Which of the following may Dr Kim Ki Joon agree with?
A.We waste too much time on phones.
B.Phones have become part of some urs.
C.Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D.Phones and blood pressure are cloly linked.
答案B
