the University of Stirling in Scotland led the team of scientists In this experiment Doherty and his team tested the perception 感知能力 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 children 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 there people were asked to identify the larger one Four year olds identified the correct circle 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 Here s where the trick lies in In some of the pictures the smaller orange circle was surrounded 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 smaller than the real smaller orange circle When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures they weren t fooled they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before Older children and adults on the other hand did not do as well Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one and adults got it wrong most of the time As children get older Doherty said their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context In order words they will begin to process the whole picture at once the tricky gray circles as well as the orange circle in the middle As a result they re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick 文章大意 眼见为实 并非真理 在一些视觉测试中 成年人往往会出现视觉判断 错误 1 Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate A children s and adults eye sight B people s ability to see accurately C

time with no gray ones around B only adults over 18 got it right 95 of the time with gray ones around C children at 4 got it right about 79 of the time with two circles alone on a white background D adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around 答案 C 细节理解题 第三段明确说明了辨别圆圈的正确
