我最近越来越爱各种科学杂志了。尤其是《科学》《自然》这种高端杂志,不仅有精美图表满足我扭曲的审美欲望,更有背后各种编辑审稿人作者勾心斗角的8卦消息。

除掉前菜甜点,每隔一段时间《科学》杂志都会奉上精美正餐。这些文章哪里找?当然是心理学专栏。

比如这一篇,《论想象吃饭可以减少真的吃饭》,为战胜自然灾害粮食问题做出了卓越的贡献。 :worthy:
Thought for Food: Imagined Consumption Reduces Actual Consumption
Science, 2010, 330, 1530
The consumption of a food typically leads to a decrease in its subsequent intake through habituation—a decrease in one’s responsiveness to the food and motivation to obtain it. We demonstrated that habituation to a food item can occur even when its consumption is merely imagined. Five experiments showed that people who repeatedly imagined eating a food (such as cheese) many times subsequently consumed less of the imagined food than did people who repeatedly imagined eating that food fewer times, imagined eating a different food (such as candy), or did not imagine eating a food. They did so because they desired to eat it less, not because they considered it less palatable. These results suggest that mental representation alone can engender habituation to a stimulus.
再来新鲜出炉的《论流言对视觉的影响》,充分证明了我们对8卦的敏感度与生俱来! :mrgreen:
The Visual Impact of Gossip
Science, 2011, 332, 1446
Gossip is a form of affective information about who is friend and who is foe. We show that gossip does not influence only how a face is evaluated—it affects whether a face is seen in the first place. In two experiments, neutral faces were paired with negative, positive, or neutral gossip and were then presented alone in a binocular rivalry paradigm (faces were presented to one eye, houses to the other). In both studies, faces previously paired with negative (but not positive or neutral) gossip dominated longer in visual consciousness. These findings demonstrate that gossip, as a potent form of social affective learning, can influence vision in a completely top-down manner, independent of the basic structural features of a face.
