三、阅读理解
A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-month-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. After all, the scientist is busy with serious research to discover the very nature of the physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right Perhaps, but some developmental psychologists(心理学家) have argued that this “play” is more like a scientific research than one might think.
Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it falls to the ground—and, in the process, it brings out important evidence about how physical objects interact(相互作用); bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require lasting support. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their tools are quite different, the baby’s research and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim (to learn about the natural world), overall methods (of gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected ).
Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way—that they do research on human psychology and the rules of language in similar ways. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning(推翻) a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires(渴望) from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.
Viewing childhood development as a scientific research throws on how children learn, but it also offers an inspiring(启发灵感的) look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort—the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world—is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about figuring something out may have been accepted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”
