A well-established distinction in memory theory is that between short-term and long-term memory. The former refers to our ability to do such things as remember telephone numbers long enough to dial them; the latter concerns the wide range of ways in which experiences can affect behavior many years later. Given the two different kinds of ability, it is reasonable to hypothesize that each is represented differently, in the brain. An experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term memory implies a chemical change in the brain cells while short-term memory involves patterns of impulses in circuits of nerve cells.
One group of rats were taught to run through a maze. Five minutes after learning the task, they were cooled to 5℃, the temperature at which all electrical activity in the brain ceases. They were then kept at this temperature for 15 minutes before being allowed to return to their normal temperature. They were then run through the maze, again.
A second group of rats were taught to run the same maze, and then immediately cooled to 5℃ for 15 minutes. After being allowed to return to their normal temperature, an attempt was made to run the second group through the maze again. It was found that rats in the first group had no difficulty with the maze the second time, suggesting that they did not have to relearn the task. Rats in the second group which was cooled immediately after learning the maze, on the other hand, could not negotiate the maze successfully, i.e., they apparently could not remember what they had learned.
It was concluded from this experiment that short-term memory (in rats, at least) is unlike long-term memory. Short-term memory involves electrical impulses since at a temperature where electrical activity ceases, there is no memory. Long-term memory, in contrast, is unaffected by the disruption of electrical activity and may involve structural changes in brain cells.
选项
A、The difference between short-term memory and long-term memory.
B、The experiments of two groups of rats.
C、The temperature for rats to lose their memory.
D、The importance of memory.
答案
A
解析
本题测试的是文章的主要内容。文章在首尾两段都强调的是长期记忆和短期记忆之间的区别,中间两段的实验也是针对这两者之间的区别的,因此本题的主要内容很明显应该是A项“短期记忆和长期记忆之间的不同”。
