There's an amazing discovery in psychology that I like to call the blue dot effect.
2
Years ago, researchers at Harvard sat people down
3
and showed them a series of dots and asked them to identify which ones were blue.
4
At first, there was a mix of blue and non -blue and people were pretty accurate.
5
But as the experiment went on, there were fewer blue dots shown and people became less accurate, regularly mistaking shades of purple for being blue.
6
Okay, big deal, right?
7
Well, they next showed people human faces and told them to identify the threatening ones.
8
At first, people were good at this, but then, as researchers showed fewer threatening faces, as with the blue dots, people began to mistake friendly faces for being threatening.
9
They then repeated this over and over again with threatening language, unethical job proposals, dangerous groups, and so on.
10
So why is this important?
11
Well, let's say there's a big problem in your life
12
and you spend a lot of time and energy trying to solve it.
13
The blue dot effect suggests that instead of feeling as though you're making progress on the problem, your mind will simply redefine the problem in such a way that you never totally stop experiencing it.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
