Nearly all cultures have a version of the arrow of time, a process by which they move towards the future and away from the past. According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this has an interesting psychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events differently, depending on whether they are in the past or future.
The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their source is traveling towards or away from you. Mr Caruso argues that something similar happens with people’s perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as receding, something happening in one month feels psychologically closer than something that happened a month ago.
This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 volunteers and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine’s day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a scale of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already experienced it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to rate the distance of hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry remained.
Interestingly, the effect can be reversed by manipulating time’s arrow. In another experiment, participants were plugged into a virtual reality machine, with some moving forwards along a tree-lined street others backwards. Those who were moving backwards reported that past events began to feel closer.
Mr Caruso speculates that his research has implications for psychological well-being. He suspects that people who do not show this bias—those who feel the past as being closer—might be more subject to depression, because they are more likely to dwell on past events. There may also be lessons for politicians and business leaders. Talking of future plans may be more effective than boasting about past successes. "People want to know what are you going to do for me next, not what have you done for me lately," suggests Mr Caruso.
Doppler effect illustrates that waves change frequency based on ________.
选项
A、the different direction of waves source from observer
B、the diminishing distance when waves moving closer
C、the perception of people when facing the waves
D、the diminishing gap between waves source and people
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的关键词Doppler effect可定位到第二段。该段第二句从物理学的角度阐释了多普勒效应的原理和含义,本题题干中的based on“基于”与句中的depending on“取决于”相对应,答案就在depending on之后由whether引导的从句里。“波源朝向你或是离你而去的方向(traveling towards or away from)”,A项正是对该内容的概括,故为本题答案。根据第二段,波源与人靠近和远离会影响波频率,B项和D项都只涉及波向人靠近的情况,不够全面。C项过度判断,题干考查的是多普勒效应,该效应只在于波源移动的方向,而非人对波的主观认识。
