12、s of facts, how would you go about it? Theres a fair chance that youd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we all have one, we dont have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷) in our ab

13、ility to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human being personal blind spots.One area there these blind spots are particularly large is learning. Were actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and

14、Henry Roediger IIII made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-s

15、chool quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test oursel

16、ves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we havent yet learnt. Its a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger ask

17、ed students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the

18、groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didnt have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(鞏固) them in there by further study. M

19、oreover, dropping items entirely from you revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if youve learnt them, but you should keep testing what youve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teac

47、 of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic(享樂的) gains than material purchases.The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experien

48、ces in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant(生氣勃勃), but youre less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.Material possessions are

49、harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. Its more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.Purchasing may have a n

50、egative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a

51、 positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of e

52、xperience. Its more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.Its well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking examp

53、le is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, its easy to make unfavourabl
