The brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories. To allow new memories to form, old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain.
Previous studies have shown that learning new information can lead to . But in a new study, researchers showed for the first time how this effect in the brain.
In daily life, forgetting actually has clear . Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identification number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one. This process improves access to information, without old memories interfering.
And most of us may sometimes feel when old memories interfere with new, relevant memories. Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier. This type of memory is particularly interfering.
When we get new information, the brain automatically tries to combine it with existing information by associations. And when we retrieve（检索）information, both the desired and but irrelevant information is recalled.
The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to put greater on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.
A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life. Though it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their ability troublesome. In a sense, normal forgetting may help to ensure our brain doesn't become too full.
A. access B. alternatives C. designed D. confirmed E. conflicting F. elements G. function H. innovative I. prospective J. separate K. supporting |
Considering how much time people spend in effects, it is important that with A be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation's image. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , customers. They make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.
As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These {#blank#}3{#/blank#} solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.
As employee hierarchies （等级制度）have flattened or decreased, office designers' response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees'{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often {#blank#}8{#/blank#} demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company's image and will enable employees to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and their best.
All these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.
