A recent experiment suggeststhat the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Strling in Scotland, led theteam of scientists. In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showedthe same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 childrenaged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background.One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identifythe larger one. Four­year­olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time.Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next，both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles, again of differentsizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here’s where the trick lies. In some ofthe pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles —making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren’t fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.【文章大意】文章主要讲述了观察力跟年龄有关，不同的年龄，观察力不同。
