A new neuroimaging study provides strong evidence that unusual shyness in children may result from higher activity in the amygdala, a brain structure involved in vigilance and fear. Using magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)to examine adults who had been unusually shy in childhood, researchers showed pictures of unfamiliar faces, and those who were once shy displayed much higher activity in the amygdala than people who had been unusually outgoing as children.
It has long been hypothesized that extreme shyness, which emerges in infancy and often persists into adulthood, must have some distinctive signature in the developing brain. However, this idea has not been tested directly because it is difficult to conduct brain imaging experiments with very young children. So Carl Schwartz did the next best thing—they studied 20-year-olds who were known to have been shy or outgoing as children. Schwartz says the study’s design has in fact allowed him to support "an even more wild hypothesis" that the brain differences underlying shyness in infancy can be seen with MRI two decades later.
Some infants boldly approach new people, objects or situations, while others are timid when faced with anything unfamiliar. Children who are timid are said by psychologists to have "inhibited" temperaments and they are more prone to anxiety disorders; some even develop generalized social phobia, in which social encounters are so terrifying that they are avoided altogether. But Schwartz points out that only two of the nine subjects in the study who had been inhibited as children developed social phobia. He cautions that temperaments, in themselves, are not pathologies but basic "flavors" of human beings.
The reason why the study’s design allowed "an even more wild hypothesis" was that______.
选项
A、the part of the brain had never been studied before
B、it entailed using a machine to look at a certain area of the brain
C、it meant adding the notion that infant shyness could be measured in adults
D、it added the possibility that shyness was related to social phobia
答案
C
解析
属逻辑关系题。第二段的最后一句其前后部分可以看成前果后因,即这个假定之所以怪异是因为它认为“造成婴儿害羞的大脑差异可以在二十年后借助磁共振成像看到。”
