一项新研究表明,如果6个月大的婴儿能将20个和10个圆点区分开来,那么该婴儿在幼儿园的数学表现可能会更佳。该研究结果显示,人的加减运算能力可能与生俱来。来自美国杜克大学的心理学和神经科学的研究生Ariel Starr参与了这项研究。他和他的同事共邀请了48名6个月大的婴儿进入实验室参与了实验。研究人员向婴儿们展示了两组圆点图像,一边的图像形式各异,但是圆点数量保持10个不变,另一边虽然也是形式各异,但数量以10个和20个交替出现。与此同时,追踪婴儿的关注点,以探查婴儿的关注喜好。婴儿自然喜欢新奇变化的东西,但由于第二组画面圆点数量也在变化,婴儿更喜欢第二组画面。
A new study shows that if a 6-month-old baby can distinguish between 20 and 10 dots, that baby’s math performance may be better in kindergarten. The findings show that people’s ability to add and subtract may be born. Ariel Starr, a graduate student in psychology and neuroscience from Duke University in the United States, participated in the study. He and his colleagues invited a total of 48 six-month-old babies to enter the lab to participate in the experiment. The researchers showed the infants two sets of dot images, each side of the image in different forms, but the number of dots to maintain 10 unchanged, although the other side is also a different form, but the number of 10 and 20 alternately. In the meantime, keep track of your baby’s concerns to explore your baby’s preferences. Babies naturally enjoy something new, but since the number of dots in the second set of pictures is also changing, infants prefer the second set of pictures.
