Children whose minds wander might have sharper brains, research suggests.
A study has found that people who appear to be constantly【C1】______have more "working memory", giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and【C2】______it mentally.
Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks, such as【C3】______teachers’ instructions or remembering dictated sentences.
During the study, volunteers were asked to perform one of two simple tasks【C4】______which researchers checked to ask if the participants’ minds were wandering.
At the end, participants measured their working memory capacity by their ability to【C5】______a series of letters interspersed with simple math questions.
Daniel Levinson, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States, said that those with higher working memory capacity reported "more mind【C6】______during these simple tasks", but their performance did not suffer.
The results, published online in the journal Psychological Science, appear to【C7】______previous research that found working memory allows humans to juggle multiple thoughts【C8】______.
Dr Jonathan Smallwood, of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science in Leipzig, Germany, said: "What this study seems to suggest is that, when circumstances for the task aren’ t very difficult, people who have【C9】______working memory resources deploy them to think about things other than what they’ re doing."
Working memory capacity is also【C10】______with general measures of intelligence, such as reading comprehension and IQ scores, and also offers a window into the widespread, but not well understood, realm of internally driven thoughts.
A)following B)wandering C)from D)sequentially
E)associated F)during G)focusing H)distracted
I)remember J)confirm K)conflicting L)manipulate
M)concentrative N)additional O)simultaneously [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
O
解析
该空所在句结构完整,故此处应填一个副词,D项和O项入选,D项sequentially意为“相继地”,不符合句意,O项simultaneously意为“同时地”,即“工作记忆让人类能够同时思考多样事情”,符合文意。因此选择simultaneously“同时地”。
