16、associate the word “science” with a person in a white coat doing experiments in a laboratory.Ideally,experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences;but in practice this is not usually the case.There are at least three reasons for this.1Human scientists
17、 are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiments.2The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal.3There are moral reasons for not conducting experimen
18、ts that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them.Faced with the above difficulties,what are human scientists to do? One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions.We can,for example,learn something about how a normal brain functions by looki

21、.So it might seem that all we can do is guess.People usually wont change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones. This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind.There was now a way of testing babies
