Why do children like to watch cartoons? They watch cartoons and adult films at any physiological difference in the end? Recently, Chinese scientists to solve the relevant secret. Children watch a cartoon film in a virtual man-made role of the medial prefrontal cortex of their brain can be automatically activated, which adult neural activity in different ways.
Department of Psychology, Peking University Professor Han Shihui researchers, such as 10 to 10-year-old children as research subjects, there is one of five boys and five girls.
The researchers let 10 children watched a real Inflatable Cartoons movie clips and the "Transformers" and other animation clips, and then through functional magnetic resonance imaging measurements of these movies and cartoons for children to watch films of brain activation, the results showed that children in the medial prefrontal brain watch movies at the true performance of cartoon characters and the performance of the virtual role will be activated.
Previously, foreign scientists use functional magnetic resonance imaging study found that adults watching a live performance from the movie clips and animation clips, virtual characters, the brain activity there is a significant difference, watch real movie, the adult medial prefrontal cortex of the brain involved in automatic processing of real-life figures of mental activity (such as understanding the intentions of others), the performance of the Inflatable Cartoons cartoon animation of virtual characters in the scene or character is not similar to the automatic processing, the medial prefrontal brain will not be activated.
HAN Shi-hui and other researchers concluded that 10-year-old children to watch a cartoon film role of a virtual man-made, the medial prefrontal brain can be automatically activated, which adult neural activity in different ways, this also explains the children Why is the cartoon has a great interest in the reasons.
Han-hui said the study results suggest that child until the age of 10, their medial prefrontal cortex or the brain can not automatically distinguish between real life and virtual characters in the image of the role of man-made. The results of this study help us to understand children and adults in the automatic distinction between real and virtual role Inflatable Cartoons in the cognitive and neural mechanisms have important significance.
