GWD 12-5一道不了了之的题目，求助！

1.        GWD-12-Q4 -Q7关于Episodic Memory的一个实验（实验内容：小鸟藏食物）

      The term “episodic memory” was

       introduced by Tulving to refer to what he

       considered a uniquely human capacity—

Line       the ability to recollect specific past events,

  (5)      to travel back into the past in one’s own

mind—as distinct from the capacity simply

to use information acquired through past

experiences.  Subsequently, Clayton et al.

developed criteria to test for episodic

 (10)      jays to remember the type, location, and

       freshness of stored food based on a unique

learning event.  Crickets were stored in one

location and peanuts in another.  Jays

 (25)      prefer crickets, but crickets degrade

more quickly. 
            Clayton’s birds switched

their preference from crickets to peanuts

once the food had been stored for a certain

length of time, showing that they retain

 (30)      information about the what, the where,

and the when.  Such experiments cannot,

however, reveal whether the birds were

       reexperiencing the past when retrieving the

information.  Clayton acknowledged this by

using the term “episodic-like” memory.

Q5:

According to the passage, Clayton’s experiment depended on the fact that scrub jays

A.      recall “when” and “where” information more distinctly than “what” information

B.       are not able to retain information about a single past event for an indefinitely long period of time

C.      choose peanuts over crickets when the crickets have been stored for a long period of time

D.      choose crickets over peanuts whenever both are available

E.       prefer peanuts that have been stored for a short period to crickets that have been stored for a short period

这篇文章大家都讨论别的题了，这题很统一为C，逻辑简图和我的答案是D。虽然有人问过这题，但终究没有结果，我只好另开新贴，请NN帮助。

 

我觉得这题是一个逻辑题，问得是这个experiment 的assumption,Clayton假设在同等条件下，鸟会选择cricket over peanuts,在这个前提下作了这个实验，发现结果Clayton’s birds switched their preference from crickets to peanuts once the food had been stored for a certain length of time, 从而得出结论“showing that they retain information about the what, the where,and the when.” C选项我的理解是一个result 而不是 assumption。

如果Clayton在做实验之前就认定这个结果的存在，那么他还要做这个实验干嘛呢？

Q5:

According to the passage, Clayton’s experiment depended on the fact that scrub jays

A.      recall “when” and “where” information more distinctly than “what” information (X)

B.       are not able to retain information about a single past event for an indefinitely long period of time ( DID NOT MENTION)

C.      choose peanuts over crickets when the crickets have been stored for a long period of time

D.      choose crickets over peanuts whenever both are available (因为CRICKETS容易被SPOIL掉,所以一旦CRICKETS坏掉不好吃以后,即使两种食物还都AVAILABLE,JAYS只会飞去吃PEANUTS)
                    

E.       prefer peanuts that have been stored for a short period to crickets that have been stored for a short period (DID NOT MENTION)

C是整个EXPERIMENT的结论BASED ON/DEPEND ON的EVIDENCE,不知道出题的是不是这个意思.

拙见,希望NN帮忙LZMM

luckyminnie和我对AVAILABLE的理解有差别，我认为坏掉的食物就不算abailable了~~

算了，我也不钻牛角尖了，谢谢MM的回帖

飘。

逻辑简图的答案是D确实也想得通 不过还是觉得C更直观些 直线思维啊~
