In last week's lecture, we discussed the characteristics of the newly born offspring of several mammals.
在上周的講座中，我們討論了幾種哺乳動物新生后代的特征。
You probably remember that human infants are less developed physically than other mammals of the same age.
大家可能還記得，與其他的同齡哺乳動物相比，人類嬰兒的身體發(fā)育較差。
But in today's lecture, we'll look at three very interesting studies that hint at surprising abilities of human babies.
不過在今天的講座中，我們將看到三個非常有趣的研究，暗示了人類嬰兒驚人的能力。
In the first study, three-year-olds watch two videos shown side by side.
在第一項研究中，三歲的孩子并排觀看兩段視頻。
Each featuring a different researcher, one of whom they'd met once two years earlier.
每一個視頻里都有一個不同的研究人員，其中的一個他們在兩年前曾經(jīng)見過一次。
The children spend longer watching the video showing the researcher they hadn't met.
而孩子們會花更長的時間來看播放著他們沒有見過的那名研究人員的視頻。
This is consistent with young children's usual tendency to look longer at things that aren't familiar. And really this is amazing.
這與小孩兒通常更傾向于花更長的時間看不熟悉的東西是一致的。真的很神奇。
It suggests the children remember the researcher they've met just one time when they were only one-year-olds.
這表明那些孩子們記得他們在一歲時只見過一次的研究人員。
Of course, as most of us forget memories from our first few years as we grow older, this early long-turn memories will likely be lost in subsequent years.
當然，隨著年齡的增長，大多數(shù)人會忘記最初幾年的記憶，那些早年的長期記憶很可能會在接下來的幾年里消失。
Our second study is about music, for this study researchers play music to babies through speakers located on either side of a human face.
我們的第二個研究是關(guān)于音樂的，在這項研究中，研究人員通過放置于人臉兩側(cè)的揚聲器來給嬰兒播放音樂。
They waited until the babies got bored and inverted their gaze from the face.
他們一直等到寶寶變得厭煩并把目光從(播放音樂的)臉上移開，
And then they change the mood in the music either from sad to happy or the other way around.
之后他們開始改變音樂的情緒，從悲傷到快樂或者從快樂到悲傷。
This mood switch made no difference to the three-month-olds;
這種情緒轉(zhuǎn)變對三個月大的嬰兒沒有影響，
but for the nine-month-olds, it was enough to renew their interest and they started looking again in the direction of the face.
但對于9個月大的嬰兒來說足以重新激起他們的興趣，他們開始重新看向臉的方向。
This suggests that babies of that age can tell the difference between a happy melody and a sad tune.
這表明那個年齡的嬰兒能夠區(qū)分快樂的音樂和悲傷的音樂。
Our final study is from 1980, but it's still relevant today.
最后一項研究來自1980年，不過至今仍有意義。
In fact, it's one of the most famous pieces of research about infant emotion ever published.
事實上，這是迄今為止發(fā)表過的關(guān)于嬰兒情感最著名的研究之一。
The study involved ordinary adults watching video clips of babies nine months or younger.
這項研究的內(nèi)容是讓普通成年人觀看九個月或者更小的嬰兒的視頻片段。
In the video clips, the babies made various facial expressions in response to real life events including playful interactions and painful ones.
在視頻片段中，嬰兒們對現(xiàn)實生活中的事件做出各種各樣的面部表情，而那些事件包括有趣的互動和不愉快的互動。
The adult observers were able to reliably discern an assortment of emotions on the babies faces.
成年觀察者能夠準確辨別出嬰兒臉上的各種情緒。
These emotions included interest, joy, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, and fear.
這些情緒包括：感興趣、喜悅、驚訝、悲傷、憤怒、厭惡、蔑視和恐懼。
Next week, we'll be looking at this last study more closely.
下周，我們將深入探討最后一項研究。
In fact, we will be viewing some of the video clips from that study. And together, see how well we do in discerning the babies' emotions.
實際上，我們會觀看一些來自那個研究里的視頻片段。之后，看看我們在辨別嬰兒情緒方面能夠做到多好。
