University social psychologist 心理学家 David Dunning carried out experiments to test whether wishful thinking can actually affect what we see It s well proved from what is experienced in everyday life and from the laboratory as well that people think what they want to think he says We re taking this a step further We re asking if strong wishes and fears can actually affect what people physically see Dunning and his assistants told volunteers that a computer game would show them either a letter or number to decide whether they would drink orange juice or fruit syrup 果子露 As they wrote in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology the computer would flash an ambiguous picture which could be seen as the letter B or the number 13 Volunteers who were told that a letter would get them orange juice most often reported seeing B Those who were told that a number would get them orange juice most often saw 13 第 10 页 共 20 页 The researchers also used a hidden camera to track volunteers eye movements particularly the first eye movement We don t control them Dunning says and they don t even know that we are watching them so it honestly shows what a person is seeing This research suggests that the brain is doing a lot of work between the eye and the conscious awareness to affect what we think Dunning concludes 得出结论 Before we even see the world our brain has decided to keep what we want to see and avoid what we don t want to see 1 The passage is mainly about A the eye movements of some volunteers B an experiment by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology C a
