这婴儿只有一天大而且还未离开医院.她安静而敏锐.研究人员把一张有俩黑点的白色卡片放在离她20厘米远的地方,她仔细地凝视着它（卡牌）.研究人员把原来的卡片换成了黑点在不同位置的另一张卡片.当卡片换成另一张的时候,她的视线失去了焦距（就是指不看了）.直到换到第三张有仨点的卡片 ,她的视线回来了,她用两倍于之前看那张卡片看这张.她能够在她刚出生1天就区别数字2和3吗?还是新生儿仅仅喜欢多多于少?相同的实验,但是使用三个点的卡片先于两个点的,当卡片变换时,同样显示了新生儿对“多”的兴趣.
Perhaps it is just the newness?When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects(a comb,a key,an orange and so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make,as opposed to three?No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three,or three to two.The effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two;likewist(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.
后面太长了不想翻了...意思大概就是婴儿对数量/数字的改变是有反应的.研究人员拿击鼓和小黑点做实验证明当婴儿经常听俩下击鼓或者看俩个点,看到三个点时候他们会更佳兴奋.
