Q7 to Q10: The term “episodic memory” was
introduced by Tulving to refer to what he considered a uniquely human capacity— Line the ability to recollect specific past events, (5) to travel back into the past in one’s own mind—as distinct from the capacity simply to use information acquired through past experiences. Subsequently, Clayton et al. developed criteria to test for episodic (10) memory in animals. According to these criteria, episodic memories are not of individual bits of information; they involve multiple components of a single event “bound” together. Clayton sought to (15) examine evidence of scrub jays’ accurate memory of “what,” “where,” and “when” information and their binding of this infor- mation. In the wild, these birds store food for retrieval later during periods of food (20) scarcity. Clayton’s experiment required jays to remember the type, location, and freshness of stored food based on a unique learning event. Crickets were stored in one location and peanuts in another. Jays (25) prefer crickets, but crickets degrade more quickly. Clayton’s birds switched their preference from crickets to peanuts once the food had been stored for a certain length of time, showing that they retain (30) information about the what, the where, and the when. Such experiments cannot, however, reveal whether the birds were reexperiencing the past when retrieving the information. Clayton acknowledged this by using the term “episodic-like” memory. Q8: According to the passage, part of the evidence that scrub jays can bind information is that they - showed by their behavior that they were reexperiencing the past
- used information acquired through past experiences
- assessed the freshness of food that had been stored by other jays
- remembered what kind of food was stored in a particular location
- recollected single bits of information about sources of food
答案是D，偶选了E。觉得D有道理，但不是很理解为什麽E不对。能麻烦NN解释一下吗？（该篇与GWD12里的阅读一样，但除了主题题，其它三道题不一样） |
