Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldnt afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything,” says their friend Sand Van Weelden, “They could see things they could

Martin Doherty, a psyc
38、hologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力 ) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 c
39、hildren aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25. The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle
40、79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time. Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Heres where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surro
41、unded by even smaller gray circles making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles so it appeared to be s maller than the real smaller orange circle. When young children aged 4
42、 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they werent fooled they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before.

A a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background B an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size C a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size D a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size 【小题 4】 Vis
47、ual context may work when children get older than . A 4 B 6 C 10 D 18 【小题 5】 Why are younger children not fooled A Because they are smarter than older children and adults.
