The

12、most influential theory is that memory works as a kind of storage system, or storehouse, for information. According to this theory, there are three types of these storage systems with different functions that hold information for different amounts of time. These storage systems are sensory memory, s

13、hort-term memory, and long-term memory. Lets start with the first storage system, sensory memory, 1It holds information for the shortest amount of time less than four seconds. An instant. 2Sensory memory is where stimuli, or things that stimulate our senses, are very briefly stored. We forget sensor

14、y memories almost instantly, unless they pass into another storage system. 3Examples of stimuli that usually go into sensory memory are things that we see and hear in the world such as a flash of lightning, or the sound of a door closing. Now, lets move on to the second storage system, 4short-term m

15、emory, which is also sometimes called “working memory“. It holds information for about 15 to 25 seconds. This is not a very long time, but the information that passes into this system has more meaning for us than just sensory stimulation. It is not entirely clear how some sensory memories transfer i

16、nto more meaningful short-term memories. However, 5it has been proven that memory going into this system is made up of “chunks,“ or groups, of meaningful information. It has been found that only around seven “chunks“ of information can be stored in short-term memory. Therefore, there is not a lot of

17、 room for information in short-term memory, and it does not stay there for very long. 6Examples of the type of information that typically goes into short-term memory are telephone numbers, addresses, and names. Finally, lets look at the third story system, 7long-term memory, which holds information

18、almost definitely, although retrieving it can sometimes be difficult. We can think of long-term memory as a very big library, or even a computer chip, with almost unlimited capacities for storage. 8Information gets filed, catalogued, and stored. Long-term memory has several different components, or

19、modules, that correspond to separate memory systems in the brain. The main two categories of long-term memory are declarative memory and procedural memory. 9Declarative memory is where we store factual information, such as names, faces, and dates. 10Procedural memory is where we store memory of skil

20、ls and habits, like how to ride a bike. Within declarative memory, there are two smaller categories of memory, namely, episodic memory and semantic memory. Episodic memory is where we place memories that relate to our personal lives, things we have done or experienced, such as having a car accident.

21、 Semantic memory is where we organize general knowledge or facts about the world, such as math formulas. OK, to sum up, today weve taken a brief look at the three storage systems and their different functions of holding information for different amounts of time. Next time, well look at some other as

22、pects of psychology. 【知识模块】 讲座 11 【正确答案】 4 four seconds 【试题解析】 本题要求填入感官记忆系统保存信息的时长。录音提到，感官记忆保存信息的时间是最短的。少于四秒 (less than 4 seconds)，故填入 4 four seconds。 【知识模块】 讲座 12 【正确答案】 Stimuli 【试题解析】 本题要求填入何种信息被短暂地储存于感官记忆系统。录音提到，感官记忆短 暂地储存刺激物 (stimuli)或者是刺激了我们感官的事物 (things that stimulate our senses)，故本题应填入 Stimul

23、i。 【知识模块】 讲座 13 【正确答案】 flashing lighting lighting 【试题解析】 本题要求填入和 “关门声 ”并列的名词 (短语 )，同属于与感官记忆相关的例子。录音提到，感官记忆的刺激物通常是我们在现实世界中看到和听到的东西，例如闪电或者是关门声，故本题应填入 flashing righting或是直接简写成lighting。 【知识模块】 讲座 14 【正确答案】 working memory 【试题解析】 本题要求填入与 short-term memory(短时记忆 )相对应的名称。录音提到，短时记忆也被称为 working memory(工作记忆 )。故

24、本题填入 working memory。 【知识模块】 讲座 15 【正确答案】 meaningful 【试题解析】 本题要求填入修饰 information的词。录音提到，短时记忆的信息是由几 “块 ”或几组 (“chunks， ”or groups)有意义的信息 (meaningful information)构成，故本题填入 meaningful。 【知识模块】 讲座 16 【正确答案】 addresses 【试题解析】 本题要求填入与 telephone numbers， names相并列的名词，同属于短期记忆的信息。录音提到，短期记忆的典型信息即为电话号码，地址以及姓名，可见此处应填

25、入 addresses。 【知识模块】 讲座 17 【正确答案】 indefinitely 【试题解析】 本题要求填入 long-term memory(长时记忆 )中信息保存的时长。录音提到，长时记忆几乎无限期地储存信息 (holds information almost indefinitely)，故本题填入 indefinitely。 【知识模块】 讲座 18 【正确答案】 catalogued 【试题解析】 本题要求填入长时记忆中信息经过怎样的处理。录音提到，信息被归档 (filed)、编目 (catalogued)和储存 (stored)，故本题填入 catalogued，注意要使用

26、 过去分词。 【知识模块】 讲座 19 【正确答案】 factual information 【试题解析】 本题和下一题放在一起理解，便可知本题要求填入的是陈述性记忆(declarative memory)储存的信息类型。录音提到，陈述性记忆是储存事实性信息(factual information)的地方。故本题填入 factual information。 【知识模块】 讲座 20 【正确答案】 Procedural 【试题解析】 本题要求填入的是储存技能和习惯信息的记忆系统名 称。录音提到，程序性记忆 (procedural memory)是储存技能和习惯信息的地方。故本题填入Proced

27、ural。 【知识模块】 讲座 20 【听力原文】 Introduction to Geography Course So, welcome to your introductory geography lecture. Well begin with some basics. Firstly, what do we learn by studying geography? Well, we learn a great deal about all the processes that have affected and continue to affect 1 the earth surfa

28、ce. But we learned far more than that, because studying geography also inform us about the different kinds of 2relations that develop between a particular environment and the people that live there. Okay, we like to think of geography as having two main branches. 3There is the study of the nature of

29、 our planet, for example its physical features, or what it actually looks like. And then there is the study of the ways in which we choose to live, 4and of the impact of those on our planet. Our current use of carbon fuels is a good example of that. 5But there are specific study areas to consider to

30、o. 6And we will be looking at each of these in turn throughout this semester. These include bio-physical geography, by which I mean the study of the natural environment and all its living things. Then there is topography which looks at the shapes of the land and oceans. There is the study of politic

31、al geography, and social geography too, of course, which is the study of communities of people. We have economic geography, in which we examine all kinds of resources and their use. Next comes historical geography, the understanding of how people and their environments and the ways they interact hav

32、e changed over a period of time. And urban geography, an aspect I am particularly interested in, which takes, as its focus, the location of cities provide, and migration of people to and from such cities. And lastly, we have cartography. That is the art and science of net making. You will be doing a

33、 lot of that. Okay, now for some practicalities. 7What do geographers actually do? Well, we collect data to begin with. How do we do this? There are several means. We might, for example, conduct a census. 8 We also need images of the earths surface which we can produce by means of computer-generatio

34、n technology or with the help of satellite relays. Weve come a very long way from the early exploration of the world by sailing ships when geographers only had pens and paper at their disposal. After weve gathered information, we must analyze it. 9We need to look for patterns, most commonly those of

35、 causes and consequences. This kind of information helps us to predict and resolve problems that could affect the world we live in. But we dont keep all these information confidential. We then need to publish our findings so that other people can access it and be informed by it. 10And one way in whi

36、ch this information can be published is in the form of maps. Youll all have used one at some stage of your life already. Okay, now weve had a basic understanding of geography. What were going to do next is to look at a short presentation in which youll see some tools used in geography. 【知识模块】 讲座 21
