“書猶藥也,善讀之可以醫愚。”話說終身學習的最大意義莫過于延緩衰老,提升生活質量吧!余生就盡力做個腳踏實地的長期主義者,堅持學習,鮮活地感知世界,不困于當下的浮躁,不囿于眼前的茍且,且用書本鋪就通往遠方的道路,抵達自己想要的詩意生活。
今日分享一些源自近期外刊關于語言學習研究的文字,浸潤原汁原味的英文,修有趣的靈魂,學會地道表達。
Most striking, numerous studies have even shown that bilinguals undergo a later onset of dementia, perhaps of around four years, on average. But some of these studies have failed to replicate, leaving experts wondering whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it consists of.
The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language, if you want your brain to benefit.
A study from 2019 showed that although a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost things like executive function, it does mitigate age-related decline. 最引人注目的是,大量研究甚至表明雙語者會更晚一些患上癡呆癥,平均大約晚四年左右。但其中一些研究未能得到重復驗證,專家們因此懷疑這種效果是否真實存在,如果存在,其具體機制又是什么。好消息是,如果你想讓大腦受益,學習一門新的語言永遠為時不晚。2019年的一項研究表明,盡管成年人適量的語言學習不會提升執行功能等認知能力,卻能有效減緩與年齡相關的認知衰退。
看來堅持花時間學習才是人生不老的硬道理,未來的日子,愿我們都能在終身學習和成長中成就不老的傳奇!
