7、same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by
8、 which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called “classical conditioning. “ This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mothers face and voice with happiness and love,
9、for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called “ operant(动作的)conditioning. “ This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that
10、 produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.11 The main purpose of th

15、t to cry.15 Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months
16、 after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week.Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-child relationship may be damaged. “This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail,“
17、contends Jay Belsky, a psychologist.The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to mothers in thei
18、r homes and videotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages 1,6, and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness.

24、xtinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use per person.

25、s.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beingsa ratio that remained almost constant for many decades.

26、wer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic turn of mind.
