黃金托福29篇第25篇的Infantile Amnesia - 英檢

※ 引述《effervescenc (Waltz of Flowers)》之銘言：
: 我想請問各位高手裡面的第五題，答案我真的覺得怪怪的:
: Paragraph 3: Three other explanations seem more promising．0ne involves
: physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes
: of the brain continues throughout early childhood．and this part of the
: brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that
: can be retrieved later. Demonstrations of infants’ and toddlers' long-term
: memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or
: done earlier，such as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a
: bottle in a doll’s mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy.
The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types of
memories，but not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.


我覺得這一句的意思是

"以大腦目前發育的程度來說可以支援動作型態的記憶，而無法支援文字敘述的"

也就是說，由於frontal lobe還未發育完成，所以動作記憶比文字記憶對這時候的嬰

兒來說來的有效。


: ○Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the
: long-term memory of motor activities but not verbal descriptions．

這個選項說frontal lobe的成熟對動作記憶很重要，但是對文字記憶無關。

應該不是對的，因為文章是指正由於frontal lobe還未發育完成，所以才造成嬰兒

無法長期記憶文字訊息。

: ○Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see
: earlier than of things they hear or are told．

這是對的，如果把things they hear and are told視為verbal descriptions...

雖然說有點免強，不過算是最好的選項了....

: ○Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges
: than of long ones．
: ○Children’s long-term recall of motor activities increases when such
: activities are accompanied by explicit verbal descriptions

3,4應該不會選吧

: 答案居然是第二選項，我個人是選第一選項，拜託各位高手幫我看一下這題，非常感恩。

話說我這提一開始也選A....Orz
