论文摘要
当提供任何类型的信息，从音乐到语言再到数学，人类的思想下意识地将其安排到网络中。网络通过将音符，音节或数学概念等信息链接在一起，将它们链接在一起。这些网络帮助我们的思想组织信息并预测即将发生的事情。在这里，我们提出了两个有关网络构建的问题。 1）人类可以比其他人更容易学习某些类型的网络吗？ 2）人类是否发现想法之间的一些联系比其他人更令人惊讶？两个问题的答案是“是”，我们解释原因。这些发现为人类对周围的网络世界学习的方式提供了急需的见解。此外，这项研究为未来的努力铺平了道路，以优化如何提出信息以加速人类学习。
When presented with information of any type, from music to language to mathematics, the human mind subconsciously arranges it into a network. A network puts pieces of information like musical notes, syllables or mathematical concepts into context by linking them together. These networks help our minds organize information and anticipate what is coming. Here we present two questions about network building. 1) Can humans more easily learn some types of networks than others? 2) Do humans find some links between ideas more surprising than others? The answer to both questions is "Yes," and we explain why. The findings provide much-needed insight into the ways that humans learn about the networked world around them. Moreover, the study paves the way for future efforts seeking to optimize how information is presented to accelerate human learning.
