Time speeds up when yu are having fun. But it slws dwn, it turns ut, when ne lks at smething wrth remembering. Accrding t a research, peple’s sense f hw fast time passes can be influenced by the memrability f the images in frnt f them.
A team led by Martin Wiener, a cgnitive (认知) neurscientist at Gerge Masn University in America, tested hw visual stimuli change peple’s experience f time. They shwed several dzen participants images f different scenes—frm empty bx rms t filled stadiums—fr between 300 and 900 millisecnds. After each ne the participants had t say if the time spent lking at the image was shrt r lng. Their respnses shwed that, when the images featured large scenes, such as an empty warehuse, mre time seemed t have passed.The ppsite happened when the images were f spaces jammed with bjects, such as an verfull garage.
That was strange. Previus research has fund that the experience f stretched time increases with size; fr instance, if peple are flashed images f different numbers fr equal lengths f time, they think the higher numbers are shwn fr lnger. But the jammed scenes seemed t cntradict that trend. T see if smething else was at play, the researchers ran anther experiment using pictures that differed in memrability. Humans better remembered pictures fcused n peple, actins and centrally placed bjects. Dr. Wiener’s team used images frm a 60,000-image data set, where each image had been judged n its memrability (a man with flwers in his beard: memrable). The mre memrable the image, the mre it seemed t stretch time.
Exactly hw prcessing speed leads t different time perceptin (理解) is still unclear,but the researchers believe the cnnectin lies in hw the brain priritises incming infrmatin.
12．What has a great effect n peple’s sense f time?
A．Time’s speeding up.B．Time’s slwing dwn.
C．Incming infrmatin.D．Memrability f the images.
13．When yu lk at a(n) ______, it seems mre time has passed.
A．filled stadiumB．verfull garage
C．empty warehuseD．tree in the crner
14．Frm which is the text prbably taken?
A．A research paper.B．A travel brchure.
C．A health magazine.D．A bilgy textbk.
15．What is the mi an idea f the text?
A．Hw time flies with different images.
B．The experience f time increases with size.
C．Memrable images make time pass mre slwly.
D．Prcessing speed leads t different time perceptin.
