23、this question. The researchers work at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.The question of why adults do not remember how they learned to walk or talk has long been a mystery.Nora Newcombe is a psychology professor at the university. She joined Zoe Ngo, a Temple graduate student, in the
24、memory research project.Newcombe says: “You know you learned how to walk and talk, but thefunnything is that you dont remember when and how you learned this.”The Temple University study involved computer-based tests. The tests were designed to work like games. They were given to 32 four-year-olds, 3
25、2 six-year-olds and 50 young adults.The tests measured the memory process that helps people recognize differences between experiences. For example: A walk with your dog when you saw a friend, and a different walk without your dog or when you did not see your friend.“In order to remember those kind o
26、fautobiographicalevents, you need to relate one element to another,” Newcombe said. She notes that many people often take walks in a favoritepark, but the experience might differ one day from another.Special memory skills are needed to remember when different events happen, like meeting a friend, sh
27、e said. This differentiation is known as relational memory.This skill would also be important to remembering where youparkedyour car today, compared to where you left it yesterday or last week.The second test involved showing the test subjects a number of photographs. The children and young adults t
28、aking the test were asked to compare the first group of photos with a second set of pictures.Sometimes, the two sets of photos were the same. But other times, they were different. Remembering differences in objects, such as pictures, is known aspatternseparation.The results showed that in both tests
29、, six-year-olds demonstrated far better memory than 4-year olds. The six-year-olds performed about as well as the young adults on the two tests.The two tests suggest that memory skills are moreadvancedfor six-year-olds than 4-year-olds. That might help explain why adults do not remember when they le
30、arned to walk or talk. But they do remember their third, fourth or fifth birthdays.“We dont have any memories in the first two years of life, and all of a sudden were able to form these memories forspecificpast events,” said Temple graduate student Zoe Ngo. “So, there must be something going on in e

Persons with the disease suffer memory loss.For some people, memory loss is just for recent events. People may not remember what they did tha

34、he Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation or IHME at the University of Washington in Seattle found that the gap between counties with the highest and lowest life expectancies is larger now than it was in 1980. And life expectancy is falling in some counties. The researchers say this shows there
35、 is a large and growing inequality in the health of Americans.Several counties in the states of North and South Dakota, where many Native Americans live, have the lowest life expectancy rate. In Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota, the life expectancy was 66.8 in 2019.There has also been a drop in th
36、e life expectancy rate in counties in poor areas of Kentucky and West Virginia. In Owsley County, Kentucky, life expectancy was 72.4 years in 1980. But by 2019 it had fallen to 70.2.Some of the counties with the highest life expectancy are in the western state of Colorado. Summit County had the long
37、est life expectancy at 86.8 years. It was 86.5 in Pitkin County and 85.9 in Eagle County.The average life expectancy in the United States was 79.1 in 2019.Dr. Ali Mokdad is one of the authors of the study. He says the findings demonstrate an urgent need to reduce inequality in the health of American
38、s.He says federal, state and local health departments need to invest in programs that work and engage their communities in disease prevention and health promotion.The study showed that spending more money on healthcare does not appear to increase life expectancy.The study was published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
