2010-04-22来源:和谐英语
  Psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands carried out the study after one of them was so struck on impressing an attractive woman he had never met before, that he could not remember his address when she asked him where he lived.

  荷兰内梅亨大学的心理学家们作此研究缘起他们中的一位在与一个从未谋面的美女搭讪时遇到了麻烦,当她问起他住哪时,他居然忘记了自己的住址!

  Researchers said it was as if he was so keen to make an impression he "temporarily absorbed most of his cognitive resources".

  研究人员称,貌似他急于给美女留下深刻印象以至于“暂时性占用了他所有的认知资源”。

  To see if other men were affected in the same way, they recruited 40 male heterosexual students.

  为了观察其他男性是否也会受这种因素影响,他们召集了40位异性恋的男学生。

  Each one performed a standard memory test where they had to observe a stream of letters and say, as fast as possible, if each one was the same as the one before last.The volunteers then spent seven minutes chatting to male or female members of the research team before repeating the test.

  每位都进行了一个标准的记忆测试,他们必须在观察一串字母时尽快说出每个字母是否与之前的字母相同。随后每位测试者与研究团队中的男女成员聊上7分钟,再次进行同样的测试。
