That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surrounding is a phenomenon known as the "first-night" effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was that benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球)of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.
Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声)of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. [br] What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?
选项
A、She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.
B、She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.
C、She-studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains.
D、She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词Dr.Sasaki、first和her experiment定位到第二段第六句The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains。其中,A项中的monitored在原文中复现,A项“她监测参与者在新环境下睡觉时大脑的活动情况”符合题意。B项“她从心里科学系招募了35名参与者”,原文仅指出实验地点在心理科学系,并没有提及参与者的出处,故排除。C、D两项在文中均没提及。
