Give babies iPads as soon as they are born: Children learn faster with tablet computers than books
Babies should be given iPads as soon as they are born to help them learn, according to scientists.
科學家稱,孩子一出生,就應該給他們iPad,以幫助他們學習。
New research by the University of London found that using tablets provides more stimulation for newborns' brains than books.
倫敦大學一項新研究發現,相比書本,使用平板電腦可以對新生兒大腦產生更多的刺激。
The findings go against previous studies which suggested looking at a screen can damage children's social skills.
這一發現與之前有關屏幕會損害兒童社交能力的研究相悖。
Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith, who led the research, told the Sunday Times that babies should be given tablet computers 'from birth'.
安妮特·卡米洛夫·史密斯教授是這次研究的帶頭人,她在接受《星期日泰晤士報》采訪時表示,嬰兒應該“一出生”就玩平板電腦。
'It is shocking how fast they learn, even faster than adults to do things like scroll up and down text,' she said.
她說:“他們的學習速度非常驚人,甚至能比成年人更快掌握如何上下滾動文本。”
'Books are static. When you observe babies with books, all they are interested in is the sound of the pages turning. Their visual system at that age is attracted by movement.'
“書本是靜態的,觀察那些擺弄書本的嬰兒,他們其實只是喜歡翻頁的聲音。他們這一時期的視覺系統主要會被運動的物體所吸引。”
Initially academics found a small group of babies - some aged six months and some 10 months old - could recognise the number three better if it was shown to them on an iPad.
最初,學者們是在一小組嬰兒身上(一些6個月大,一些10個月大)發現,如果把數字3通過iPad呈現給他們,他們能學得更好。
