Making a Mistake Can Put Your Brain on ‘Pause’
Mistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in.
When facing fast decisions, even the 31 distraction of noting an error can decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15 Journal of Neuroscience.
“We have a brain region that monitors and says ‘you messed up’ so that we can correct our behavior,” says psychologist George Buzzell, now at the University of Maryland in College Park. But sometimes, that monitoring system can backfire, 32 us from the task at hand and causing us to make another error.  
“There does seem to be a little bit of time for people, after mistakes, where you’re sort of 33 ,” says Jason Moser, a psychologist at Michigan State University, who wasn’t part of the study.
To test people’s 34 to making mistakes, Buzzell and colleagues at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., monitored 23 participants’ brain activity while they worked through a challenging task. Concentric（同心的）circles 35 briefly on a screen, and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles were the same c
olor and the other hand if the circles were slightly different shades.
After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as seconds, accuracy 36 by about 10 percent. Electrical activity recorded from the 37 cortex（大脑皮层）showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded 38 .
The cognitive demand of noting and 39 the error seems to divert attention that would otherwise be devoted to the task, Buzzell says.
In real life, people usually have time — even if just a few seconds — to reflect on a mistake before having to make another decision. But in some activities such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument, people must rebound from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task. Those actions might push the 40 of error processing.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Direction: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Robots’ Intelligence
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be 41 , according to computer science professor Stuart Russell if we figure out how to turn human 42 into a programmable code.
Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language. 43 , if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the 44 children. “You would want that robot 45 with a good set of values,” said Russell.
Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a 46 distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a 47 brought-up person would do.
It will be possible to 48 more complicated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are 49 .
The biggest 50 with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will 51 some kind of taboo(禁忌). One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with a(n) 52 situation.
If the robot is
unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for 53 from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.
The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in 54 , and how to create a set of ethical（伦理的）rules. But if we 55 an answer, robots could be good for humanity.
