問題詳情
請依下文回答第 48 題至第 50 題： In 1970, a wild child was found in California: a girl of 13 who had been isolated in a small room and had not beenspoken to by her parents since infancy. “Genie,” as she was later dubbed to protect her privacy by the psycholinguistswho tested her, could not stand erect. At the time, she was unable to speak: she could only whimper. The case came tolight when Genie’s 50-year-old mother ran away from her 70-year-old husband after a violent quarrel and took thechild along. The mother was partially blind and applied for public assistance. Genie was sent to the Los AngelesChildren’s Hospital for tests. The discovery of Genie aroused intense curiosity among psychologists, linguists, neurologists, and others who studybrain development. They were eager to know what Genie’s mental level was at the time she was found and whether shewould be capable of developing her faculties. “It’s a terribly important case,” says Harlan Lane, a psycholinguist atNortheastern University who wrote The Wild Boy of Aveyron. “Since our morality doesn’t allow us to conductdeprivation experiments with human beings, these unfortunate people are all we have to go on.”

1970年，在加利福尼亞州發現了一個狂野的小孩：一個13歲的小女孩被隔離在一個小房間裡，並且自從嬰兒時就沒有被父母講過。 “精靈”，因為她後來被稱為保護她的隱私的心理語言學家誰測試她，無法站起來。當時，她無法說話：她只能嗚咽。案發現後，精靈的50歲的母親在70歲的丈夫發生激烈的爭吵後逃走，並帶走了孩子。母親部分失明併申請公共援助。精靈被送到洛杉磯兒童醫院接受檢測。精靈的發現激起了心理學家，語言學家，神經學家和其他研究大腦發育的人們的強烈好奇心。他們渴望知道當她被發現時精靈的精神狀態是什麼，以及她是否有能力培養自己的能力。 “這是一個非常重要的案例，”東北大學心理語言學家Harlan Lane曾寫過《法國叢林的野男孩》 “由於我們的道德不允許我們對人進行剝奪實驗，所以我們不得不繼續這些不幸的人。”
