? ? ? Two People, Two Paths{{/B}}
? ?You must be
familiar with the situation: Dad’s driving, Mum’s telling him where to go. He’s
sure that they need to turn left. But she says it’s not for another two blocks.
Who has the better sense of direction? Men or women.
? ?They both
do, a new study says, but in different ways.
? ?Men and women,
Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way.
Men look quickly at landmarks (地标) and head off in what they think is the right
direction. Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then
follow the path in their head.
? ?"Women tend to be more detailed,"
said Edward Cornell, who led the study, "while men tend to be a little bit
faster and...a little bit more intuitive (直觉感知的)." in fact, said Cornell, "sense
of direction" isn’t one skill but two.
? ?The first is the "survey
method". This is when you see an area from above, such as a printed map. You can
see, for example, where the hospital is, where the church is and that the
supermarket is on its right.
? ?The second skill is the "route
method". This is when you use a series of directions. You start from the
hospital, then turn left, turn right, go uphill — and then you see the
supermarket.
? ?Men are more likely to use the survey method while
women are more likely to use one route and follow directions.
?
?Both work, and neither is better.
? ?Some scientists insist
that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the
difference in traditional roles.
? ?In ancient times, young men
often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt. The trip took hours or
days and covered unfamiliar places. The only way to know where you were was to
use the survey method to remember landmarks — the mountains, the lakes and so
on.
? ?The women, on the other hand, took young girls out to find
fruits and plants. These activities were much closer to home but required
learning well-used paths. So, women’s sense of space was based on learning
certain routes. |
Which works better, the route method or the survey method?
A:The survey method. B:The route method. C:Either. D:Neither.
