To arrive at this conclusion, the researchers invited 57 students at Northwestern University to participate in a three-day, two-night study. On the first day, participants were presented with a series of difficult spatial and verbal puzzles. Here is one example. (The answer is provided at the end of this article.)
为了证实这个结论,研究人员邀请美国西北大学57名学生参与三天两夜的实验研究。第一天,测试者需要解决一系列的空间和文字难题。举个例子:(答案于本文文末)
On a wall outside a closet door are three standard on/off switches. One (and only one) controls a light bulb inside the light-tight, well-insulated closet. The other two switches do nothing. You can only open the closet door once, and cannot change any switches after the door is open (or re-closed, for that matter). Damaging or disassembling the door, walls, or switches is against the rules. Within these constraints, how can you determine with certainty which switch controls the light bulb? — Sanders et al. (2019)
壁橱门外的墙上有三个同样规格的标准开关。其中有且仅有一个开关控制壁橱内的一个灯泡,壁橱密不透光、完全隔绝。其余两个开关不起任何作用。你有且仅有一次机会可以打开壁橱门,确定你选择的开关是否是控制该灯泡。门开之后或重新关闭前,都不可更改任何开关。禁止损毁或拆卸壁橱门、墙以及开关,否则作违规处理。在这些约束条件下,你是如何确定灯泡的开关呢?—— 桑德森等(2019)
