問題詳情

IV. Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer based on the passage. (20%) Passage 1 Scientists across disciplines have made strides uncovering why and how we form our attitudestowards others. Still, much remains a mystery.   In his social neuroscience lab at NYU, professor David Amodio investigates the neural mechanismsunderlying social biases. He views prejudice as a multilevel phenomenon that involves societies, groups,biological processes, and individual minds. Social neuroscience — the intersection where the social worldconnects with the biological world — offers a tremendous opportunity in illuminating how prejudiceoperates in the brain.    According to Amodio, many different neural processes contribute to a prejudiced response: how weperceive people and categorize them into groups, how we store stereotypes about groups in our memory,how different regions of the brain get activated when we have emotional reactions to groups. The brainpulls all this information together in order to make judgments and, in some cases, control our responses.By identifying these processes in the brain, we can learn more about the individual building blocks thatmake up prejudice and discover new candidates for interventions to reduce bias.
