Meltzoff and Moore reported experiments showing that human newborns possess

问题     Meltzoff and Moore reported experiments showing that human newborns possess the ability to imitate certain facial expressions, such as a protruding tongue or an open mouth. Yet numerous researchers challenge Meltzoff’s interpretation that such neonatal imitation is the origin of later imitation, which appears at approximately eight to twelve months of age. These researchers point out that the neonatal imitative response disappears or is lessened at approximately two months. Moreover, since in follow-up studies only one type of imitative response toward a facial expression (that is, tongue protrusion) was observed, some researchers assert that neonatal imitation is not imitation at all but may simply be a form of exploratory behavior in response to interesting stimuli. [br] The passage implies which of the following about the experimental results reported by Meltzoff and Moore?
选项 A、They were, at best, only partially borne out by subsequent studies.
B、They cast doubt on the validity of a particular claim about newborns.
C、They formed the basis for revised interpretations of other behaviors of newborns.
D、They derived from a methodology that turned out to be flawed.
E、They challenged the distinction between imitative and nonimitative behavior in newborns.
答案 A
解析 根据第四句，梅尔佐夫的理论中所观察到的吐舌头行为确实在后续研究中被发现了，但是梅尔佐夫理论中的其他观点则被反驳，因此只是only partially borne out。B项梅尔佐夫的理论是被反驳的，它本身没有反驳任何人。C项文中未提及。D项文中没提方法论。E项梅尔佐夫的理论是被反驳的，它本身没有反驳任何人。
