“What’s the name of the supermarket? I can’t remember right now.”Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes? Usually, we think that older people's memory becomes bad becau theiar brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea. “The human brain works slower in old age, ”says Michael Ramscar, the team's lead scientist, “only becau it has stored more information over time.”The findings are bated on a ries of computer tests related to learning and memory.
Scientists had the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer“read” a small amount of date (数据), its performance on cog
nitive (认知的)tests was similar to that of a young adult. But if the computer took in larger amounts of data, its performance was similar to that of an older adult. Often it was slower, but not becau its processing ability had dropped.Rather, incread “experience” had caud the computer’s databa to grow, giving it more data to process - which takes more time. This is similar to how old people
process information.
Imagine that one person knows just two people's birthdays and can get them right time he or she is asked. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people,but can only match the right person to the right birthday 9 times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the cond person?
“The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word, ”Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times,wrote in an article about the study.
