31、 that contrary to what previous studies have shown,infants(婴儿)are able to quantify substances(物质)like sand or wateras early as 10 months.As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough,infants will choose the larger amount,especially when it comes to food.With the assistance of
32、her team researchers,vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups:one containing a small amount of food,and one containing a larger amount.Consistently,the babies chose the larger amount.“Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are ve
33、ry good at telling how many objects they see;however,infants dont seem to count things like water or sand,” vanMarle said.“What were saying is that they can quantify substances; its just much harder.The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories.They decide w
34、hich amount is larger,and they almost always select the larger one.”“This information further refutes (驳斥) the longheld idea that babies know nothing of the world,” vanMarle said.“Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures,weve discovered a lot of early abilities.I think
35、 for parents,it should be exciting to know that theres somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world,and that knowledge is guiding their development,”vanMarle said.In the future,vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a childs progress in mathsrelated skill
36、s,although programmes marketed to increase those abilities,such as “Baby Einstein”,still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study.【语篇解读】 新的研究发现婴儿具有很强的数量概念,他们几乎总是本能地选择数量较多的物体,尤其在食物方面,这种突破性科学发现有力地驳斥了长期以来认为婴儿对世界一无所知的观点。13The quantifying ability refers to the ability to _Achoose between differ
