Two People, Two Paths
You must be familiar with the situation: Dad’s driving, Mum’s telling him where to go. He’s sure that they need to turn left. But she says it’s not for another two blocks. Who has the better sense of direction Men or women.
They both do, a new study says, but in different ways.
Men and women, Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way. Men look quickly at landmarks (地标) and head off in what they think is the right direction. Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head.
"Women tend to be more detailed," said Edward Cornell, who led the study, "while men tend to be a little bit faster and... a little bit more intuitive (直觉感知的). "
In fact, said Cornell, "sense of direction" isn’t one skill but two.
The first is the "survey method". This is when you see an area from above, such as a printed map. You can see, for
A. his intuitive knowledge.
B. his book knowledge.
C. Mum’s assistance.
D. the police’s assistance.
