Passage 3
For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies - and other creatures - learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on” a display of lights - and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many three turns to one side.
Papousek’s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.

过去的一段时间,它已被广泛接受的婴儿和其他生物学习去做事情是因为某些特定的行为有“回报”;也没有理由怀疑,这是真的.但它也被广泛认为,有效的奖励,至少在初期阶段,必须对这些基本生理直接相关(生理的)”带动“口渴或饥饿.换句话说,婴儿会学习,如果他得到了某种身体上的舒适,食物或饮料而不是别的.现在很清楚的是,这是不是这样的.婴儿会学习的行为产生的结果在世界上除了成功的结果没有奖励的方式.普塞克开始了他的研究,利用牛奶在正常的方式“奖励”婴儿,所以教他们进行一些简单的运动,如把头转向一边或另一边.然后他注意到,婴儿已经有足够的饮料会拒绝牛奶,但仍然会愉悦地继续做出学会的反应.所以他开始研究的情况下,没有牛奶,提供孩子们的反应.他很快发现四个月的孩子会学会将头向左或向右运动如果“接通”灯,事实上他们还可以学会相当复杂的转动来产生这样的结果,例如,两个左或右二,甚至会有三转向一侧.而是光展示直接放在婴儿面前,他发现了有趣的事情,有时他们会不会回头看灯密切们尽管“微笑和泡沫”时,显示了.佩波塞克得出结论,这不是主要的一切,这是他们成功的实现在解决问题,掌握技能,并且存在一个基本的人类欲望,使世界的意义和对其加以控制.
