3
The Knowledge Illusion.
4
A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total.
5
The bat costs $1 more than the ball.
6
How much does the ball cost?
7
If you answered 10 cents, you're not alone.
8
Most people give the same answer.
9
The correct answer is 5 cents.
10
It's an example of how we often rely on intuitive responses, answers we feel are true.
11
People give answers that pop into their mind, says cognitive scientist Stephen Sloman.
12
We don't spend much time reflecting and checking whether the answer is right or wrong.
13
The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake news.
14
It is part of human nature to believe, says Sloman, but the trick with fake news is to know to verify.
15
In other words, to stop and question what you know.
16
In one experiment, Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain.
17
They told a group of volunteers about it, but admitted they could not fully explain what it was.
18
They then asked the volunteers to rate their own understanding of helium rain.
19
Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7, meaning they did not understand the concept.
20
The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.
21
This time, they said that scientists could fully explain how it works.
22
When asked to rate their understanding, the volunteers gave an average answer of 2.
23
The scientists' confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding, Sloman says.
24
According to Sloman, studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion.
25
This idea can be seen in many fields, including politics.
26
If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is crooked, Sloman says, then you're going to start thinking that you understand too.
27
Another explanation for the spread of fake news is motivated reasoning, writes Adam Waits, a management professor at the Kellogg School.
28
We are naturally more likely to believe things that confirm our existing opinions.
29
If you already have a negative opinion about someone, you're more likely to trust damaging stories about them.
30
Over time, Waits argues, motivated reasoning can lead to a false social consensus.
31
So, in a world where misleading information is common, is there a way to protect ourselves?
32
I don't think it's possible to train individuals to verify everything that they encounter, Sloman admits.
33
It is just too human to believe what you're told.
34
However, training people to care about fact-checking is important, he argues, especially in online communities.
35
Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day.
36
Probably these fit in with your own worldview, but perhaps not all of them are true.
37
Develop a norm in your community that says, we should check things and not just take them at face value, Sloman says.
38
Verify before you believe.

推薦影片

看YouTube學英語:從這個影片能學到什麼?

這個影片不僅能幫你理解認知心理學知識,還能提升兩項實用口語技能:一是如何清晰表達複雜觀點(比如解釋“知識錯覺”),二是在討論中自然融入建議(如“核實資訊”的方法)。此外,通過模仿影片中的論述節奏,你能學會更有條理地組織語言。

注意這些發音現象

影片中存在不少連讀和弱讀現象,比如“costs $1 more”中“costs”和“$1”連讀為/kɒsts wʌn/,“than the ball”中“than”弱讀為/ðən/。還有“fake news”的連讀,“fake”尾音/k/與“news”開頭的/n/相連,形成/k njuːz/的流暢發音。這些細節能讓你的口語更接近母語者。

像母語者一樣說英語:節奏與重音

練習英語影子跟讀(shadow speech)時,要注意影片中演講者的節奏。比如“Most people give the same answer”一句,重音在“Most”“give”“same”上,語速稍快;而“the correct answer is 5 cents”則在“correct”“5 cents”上加重,語速放緩以強調重點。模仿時,試著用同樣的重音模式和停頓,感受自然的口語節奏。

另外,影片中多次出現的“verify”一詞,重音在第二個音節/ˈverɪfaɪ/,發音時要注意不要讀錯。通過影子跟讀(shadowspeaks)練習,你能逐漸掌握這些細節,讓口語更地道。

記住,看YouTube學英語的關鍵是多聽多模仿。每次看完影片後,試著用影子跟讀(shadow speak)的方式重複重點內容,比如“Verify before you believe”,注意語氣和節奏。堅持練習,你的口語會有明顯進步。

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。
