Question

TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:

Babies’ Invisible Knowledge



On the surface, what could be more 1destitute of knowledge than a newborn?

What could be more reasonable than to think, as Locke did, that the infant’s 2mind is a “blank slate” simply waiting for the environment to fill 3its empty pages? Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712 – 78) strove to drive this point home in his treatise Emile, or On Education (1762): “We are born capable of learning, but knowing nothing, perceiving nothing.” Almost two centuries later, Alan Turing, the father of contemporary computer science, took up the hypothesis: “Presumably the child brain is something like a notebook as one buys it from the stationer’s. Rather little mechanism, and lots of blank sheets.”

We now know that this view is dead wrong – nothing could be further from the truth. Appearances can be deceiving: despite 4its immaturity, the nascent 5brain already possesses considerable knowledge inherited from its long evolutionary history. For the most part. however, this knowledge remains invisible, because 6it does not show in babies’ primitive 7behavior. It therefore took cognitive scientists much 8ingenuity and significant methodological advances in order to expose the vast repertoire of abilities all babies are born with. Objects, numbers, probabilities, faces, language: the scope of babies’ prior knowledge is extensive.

Coesão textual

Um texto apresenta coesão textual quando palavras fazem referência a outras, evitando a repetição e permitindo uma melhor fluidez na leitura. É a percepção do leitor sobre isso que o exercício quer testar. Vamos às opções:

• I. A palavra "its" (3) refere-se à palava "mind" (2): verdadeira. Ao lermos a frase "... that the infant's mind is a 'blank slate' simply waiting for the environment to fill its empty pages", vemos que its retoma mind. É a mente que tem páginas em branco, que deveriam ser preenchidas.
• II. A palavra "its" (4) refere-se à "brain" (5): correta. Na frase "...despite its immaturity, the nascent brain already possesses considerable knowledge...". De quem é a imaturidade? Do cérebro. Portanto, its retoma brain.
• III. A palavra "it" (6) refere-se a "behavior" (7): errada. Na frase "... this knowledge remains invisible, because it does not show in babies' primitive behavior". It, nesse caso, retoma a palavra knowledge, não behavior.

Assim, só a I e a II estão corretas. Portanto, resposta letra B.
