When this short amount of time Uelapse

18、s/U, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to

19、 the STM, also known as the working memory.There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is define

20、d as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modem theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and im

21、prove the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in “rote rehearsal“. By repeating something over and over again, we are able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately, this type o

22、f memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy, you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to

23、come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call, you will forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice “elaborate rehearsal“. This involves assigning semantic mea

24、ning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory an

25、d used often. However, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more clues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization. (42

29、 In my own case, meteorology has been compounded by a spell of ill-health, due to the after-effects on long course of radiation which I had to take this spring. I hadnt told you of this trouble before, since it hadnt seriously interfered with my activities and there seemed to be no point in spreadin

30、g unnecessary apprehensions. It started in 1960, with a malignant tumour on the tongue. The first surgeon I went to wanted to cut out half the tongue and leave me more or less speechless. I went with him to nay old friend, Dr Max Cutler. Cutler recommended treatment with radium needles and so did th

31、e Professors of Radiology and Surgery at the U. of Cal. Medical Centre at San Francisco, whom I consulted. I took the treatment in the early summer of 1960, and it was remarkably successful. The tumour on the tongue was knocked out and has shown no signs of returning. However, as generally happens i

32、n these cases, the lymph glands of the neck became involved. I had one taken out in 1962, and this spring another mass appeared. This was subjected to twenty five exposures of radio-active cobalt, an extremely exhausting treatment from which I was just recovering when at last I was able to make the

33、trip to Stockholm and London. Since my return there has been a flare-up of secondary inflammation, to which tissues weakened by radiation are peculiarly liable, often after considerable intervals. Result: I have had to cancel my lecture tour . Another handicap is my persistent hoarseness due to the

34、nerve that supplies the right-hand vocal cord having been knocked out, either by an infiltration of the malignancy, or by the radiation. I hope this hoarseness may be only temporary, but rather fear I may carry it to the grave.What the future holds, one doesnt know. In general these malignancies in

35、the neck and head dont do much metastasizing. Meanwhile I am trying to build up resistance with the combination of a treatment which has proved rather successful at the University of Montreal and the University of Manila-the only institutions where it has been tried out over a period of years-and wh

36、ich has been elaborated upon by Professor Guidetti, of the University of Turin, who has read papers on his work at the last two International Cancer Congresses, at Buenos Aires and Moscow. I saw Guidetti while in Turin and was impressed by some of his case-histories, and with Cutlers approval we are

37、 carrying out his treatment here. When this damned inflammation dies down, which may be expected to do in a few weeks, I hope to get back to regular work. For the present I am functioning at only a fraction of normal capacity. (515)Much love to you both from both of us,Ever your affectionateAldous（分

Or is it also a search for principles which testify to the reality of a single Creator who has predetermined and man dated the existence of all things, both material and spiritual, according to certain co

40、mprehensive and interrelated universal laws?Recently, many cosmologists-scientists who study the structure and origin of the universe-have acknowledged that there is a definite link between the scientific and religious accounts of the Creation.An account on the subject “where life begins“ indicated

41、that recent cosmological studies relating to the origin of Creation tend to validate the biblical account. The universe, according to the studies, was a huge fireball created about twenty billion years ago by the magnificently illuminating explosion of a giant primordial atom. The Bible describes th

42、e Creation in these words:In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of Cod was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light.“ And there was light. (Genesis 1)At anoth

43、er level of scientific inquiry, oceanographers-scientists who study the origin, composition and life forms found in the ocean and bodies of water-have been searching to determine whether the oceans would be a productive source of food supply for humankind in the futura. Water bodies and oceans cover

44、 70% of the earths surface and oceanographers are firmly convinced that they can be utilized as a potential source of Christianity and Islam appears to attest to the validity of scientific investigation in the development of ocean resources as source of food supply.The Koran states, “And He is who h
