In last weeks lecture, we discussed the characteristics of thenewly born offspring of several mammals.
You probably remember that human infants are less developedphysically than other mammals of the same age.
But in todays lecture, well look at three very interesting studiesthat hint at the surprising abilities of human babies.
In the first study, 3-year-olds watch two videos shown side byside,
each featuring a different researcher, one of whom theyd met once,two years earlier.
The children spent longer watching the video showing the researcherthey hadnt met.
This is consistent with young childrens usual tendency to looklonger at things that arent familiar.
And really this is amazing! !
It suggests the children remembered the researcher theyd met justone time when they were only one-year-olds.
Of course, as most of us forget memories from our first few yearsas we grow older,
these early long-term memories will likely be lost in subsequentyears.
Our second study is about music.
For this study researchers played music to babies through speakerslocated on either side of a human face.
They waited until the babies got bored and inverted their gaze fromthe face.
And then they changed the mood of the musiceither from sad tohappy, or the other way around. ---
This mood switch made no difference to the 3-month-olds, 3
but for the 9-month-olds it was enough to renew their interest andthey started looking again in the direction of the face. 9
This suggests that babies of that age can tell the differencebetween a happy melody and a sad tune.
Our final study is from 1980, but its still relevant today. 1980
In fact, its one of the most famous pieces of research about infantemotion ever published.
The study involved ordinary adults watching video clips of babies9-month or younger. 9
In the video clips, the babies made various facial expressions inresponse to real life events,
including playful interactions and painful ones.
The adult observers were able to reliably discern an assortment ofemotions on the babies faces.
These emotions included interest, joy, surprise, sadness, anger,disgust, contempt, and fear.
Next week, well be looking at this last study more closely.
In fact, we will be viewing some of the video clips from thatstudy.
And together, see how well we do in discerning the babies emotions.

19 What are the three interesting studies about? ?
20 What does the second study find about 9-month-old babies? 9?
21 What is the 1980 study about? 1980?

在上周的讲座中，我们讨论了几种哺乳动物新生后代的特征。

大家可能还记得，与其他的同龄哺乳动物相比，人类婴儿的身体发育较差。

不过在今天的讲座中，我们将看到三个非常有趣的研究，暗示了人类婴儿惊人的能力。

在第一项研究中，三岁的孩子并排观看两段视频。

每一个视频里都有一个不同的研究人员，其中的一个他们在两年前曾经见过一次。

而孩子们会花更长的时间来看播放着他们没有见过的那名研究人员的视频。

这与小孩儿通常更倾向于花更长的时间看不熟悉的东西是一致的。真的很神奇。

这表明那些孩子们记得他们在一岁时只见过一次的研究人员。

当然，随着年龄的增长，大多数人会忘记最初几年的记忆，那些早年的长期记忆很可能会在接下来的几年里消失。

我们的第二个研究是关于音乐的，在这项研究中，研究人员通过放置于人脸两侧的扬声器来给婴儿播放音乐。

他们一直等到宝宝变得厌烦并把目光从(播放音乐的)脸上移开，

之后他们开始改变音乐的情绪，从悲伤到快乐或者从快乐到悲伤。

这种情绪转变对三个月大的婴儿没有影响，

但对于9个月大的婴儿来说足以重新激起他们的兴趣，他们开始重新看向脸的方向。

这表明那个年龄的婴儿能够区分快乐的音乐和悲伤的音乐。

最后一项研究来自1980年，不过至今仍有意义。

事实上，这是迄今为止发表过的关于婴儿情感最著名的研究之一。

这项研究的内容是让普通成年人观看九个月或者更小的婴儿的视频片段。

在视频片段中，婴儿们对现实生活中的事件做出各种各样的面部表情，而那些事件包括有趣的互动和不愉快的互动。

成年观察者能够准确辨别出婴儿脸上的各种情绪。

这些情绪包括：感兴趣、喜悦、惊讶、悲伤、愤怒、厌恶、蔑视和恐惧。

下周，我们将深入探讨最后一项研究。

实际上，我们会观看一些来自那个研究里的视频片段。之后，看看我们在辨别婴儿情绪方面能够做到多好。

19. 这三个有趣的研究是关于什么的？

20. 第二个研究发现了关于九个月大婴儿的什么？

21. 1980年的研究是关于什么的？
