Researchers from the University of Plymouth in England wondered whether mood might affect the way kids learn. To find out, they performed two learning experiments with children.
The first experiment enlisted 30 kids, ages 10 and 11. Each child was given 20 problems in which a triangle or houselike shape was hidden inside a different, larger image. The kids had to find the small shape while sitting in a room with, either happy or sad classical music playing in the background.
As a measure of mood, the scientists asked the kids to point to one of five faces, ranging from happy to sad. Children listening to the happy music tended to point to the smiling faces, indicating that they felt happy. Kids surrounded by sad tunes pointed instead to the frowns.
The researchers found that sad kids took at least a second less to find the small shapes. The sad kids also correctly identified an average of three or four more shapes.
In the second experiment, 61 children, ages 6 and 7, faced the same type of shape-finding problems. Instead of listening to different types of music, though, they watched one of three scenes from a film. One scene was happy. One was neutral. One was sad.
In this study, kids’ moods tended to reflect the scene they had seen. And just like in the first experiment, kids who felt sad or neutral performed better on the tests compared to happier kids. They solved an average of two or three more problems.
The researchers hypothesize(假设)that feeling down makes people more aware of details, perhaps because sadness makes us more likely to focus on a problem or difficult situation. Some studies suggest that mildly sad adults do better than happy ones on tests of memory, judgment and argument that involve attention to detail.
Questions: [br] What problems were kids asked to solve in both experiments?
选项
答案
Shape-finding problems.
解析
第一个实验在第二段,孩子面临着20个问题,他们需要找到隐藏在许多不同的、较大的图像中的三角形状或者类似房屋的形状。第二个实验在第五段,该段首句指出61个孩子面临着同样的找形状的问题(shape-finding problems),所以不难得知答案为Shape-fjnding problems。
