文/三分钟冷度noknow 第 357篇精读笔记部分分享 文章来源: 《科学美国人》(Scientific American,缩写:Sci Am)是美国的一本科普杂志,始于1845年8月28日。是《自然》(Nature)的姐妹出版物。 爱因斯坦曾评价《科学美国人》说:“我很欣赏《科学美国人》,因为它把世界科学更广泛地介绍给了读者。” 《科学美国人》是考研英语科普文章的重要来源,在2015年至2020年的阅读来源中排名第四,也是一本很重要的题源外刊。 文章标题: Forecasting hurts memory making 预测会伤害记忆形成 文章概要: 文章选自《科学美国人》。文章的主题是大脑海马体的记忆与预测功能。大脑海马体具有这两种功能,但后者会对前者造成干扰。这是因为他们共用了部分生物途径。一组研究人员对此进行了实验研究,将这比作是“人驾驶汽车时都用右脚踩刹车和油门...但并非同时进行”。 文章450词左右,比较简短,推荐阅读~ Making predictions hinders the brain’s ability to remember the present moment, new research suggests. Thehippocampus, a brain structure usually associated with remembering events, also uses experiences to make forecasts (neuroscientists call this “statistical learning”). But scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA have now demonstrated that the latter function can disrupt the former. 第一句 hinders the brain’s ability to remember the present moment, new research suggests. hinder vt. to limit the ability of someone to do something, or to limit the development of something 阻碍,妨碍。eg:High winds have hindered firefighters in their efforts to put out the blaze. 大风妨碍了消防队员扑灭大火。 第二句 The hippocampus, a brain structure usually associated with remembering events, also uses experiences to make forecasts (neuroscientists call this “statistical learning”). hippocampus n. (大脑)海马体 第三句 But scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA have now demonstrated that the latter function can disrupt the former. the former & the latter 这两个是反义词,可以打包一起记: Making predictions hinders the brain’s ability to remember the present moment, new research suggests. The hippocampus, a brain structure usually associated with remembering events, also uses experiences to make forecasts (neuroscientists call this “statistical learning”). But scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA have now demonstrated that the latter function can disrupt the former. 一项新研究表明,预测会影响大脑对当下的记忆能力。海马体这一大脑结构往往与记忆事件有关,该结构还会根据经验做出预测(神经科学家将这称之为“统计学习”)。但现在科学家已经在《美国国家科学院院刊》中证实,后一种功能会干扰前一种功能。外刊精读笔记 Day 357
