One of the most eminent of psychologists, Clark Hull, claimed that the essence of reasoning lies in the putting together of two "behavior segments" in some novel way, never actually performed before so as to reach a goal. Two followers of Clark Hull, Howard and Tracey Kendler, (1) a test for children that was explicitly based on Clark Hull’s principles. The children were given the (2) of learning to operate a machine so as to get a toy. In order to succeed they had to go through a two-stage (3) . The children were trained on each stage (4) . The stages consisted merely of pressing the correct one of two buttons to get a marble; and of (5) the marble into a small hole to release the toy.
The Kendlers found that the children could learn the separate bits readily enough. (6) the task of getting a marble by pressing the button they could get the marble; given the task of getting a toy when a marble was handed to them, they could use the marble. (All they had to do was put it in a hole.) (7) they did not for the most part "integrate", to use the Kendlers’ terminology. They did not press the button to get the marble and then (8) without further help to use the marble to get the toy. So the Kendlers concluded that they were incapable of deductive (9) .
The mystery at first appears to deepen when we learn, from (10) psychologist, Michael Cole, and his colleagues, that adults in an African culture apparently cannot do the Kendlers’ task either. But it lessens, (11) , when we learn that a task was devised which was (12) to the Kendlers’ one but much easier for the African males to handle.
(13) the button-pressing machine, Cole used a locked box and two (14) colored match-boxes, one of which contained a key that would open the box. Notice that there are still two (15) segments—"open the right matchbox to get the key" and "use the key to open the box"—so the task seems formally to be (16) . But psychologically it is quite different. Now the subject is dealing not with a strange machine but with familiar meaningful objects; and it is clear to him what he is meant to do. It then (17) that the difficulty of integration is greatly reduced.
Recent work by Simon Hewson is of great interest here for it shows that, for young children, (18) , the difficulty lies not in the (19) processes which the task demands, but in certain perplexing features of the apparatus and the procedure. When these are changed in ways which do not at all affect the inferential nature of the problem, then five-year-old children solve the problem (20) college students did in the Kendlers’ own experiments.

全球经济刺激政策是否同进同退 2008年9月15日，以雷曼兄弟倒闭为转折点，美国次贷危机进一步恶化，并迅速 演变为波及全球的金融风暴。世界各国迅速采取救市行动，来抵御金融危机的冲击，各 国刺激经济的政策几乎是同步跟进。 一是采取张性的货币政策(expansionary fiscal policy)。2008年10月8日世 界6家主要央行有史以来首次联手降息。美联储、欧洲央行、英国央行、瑞士央行、 加拿大央行和瑞典央行，联合宣布将基准利率均下调50基点。全球共同降息的通道就 此打开，各国利率水平不断下调。2008年12月16日美联储决定将联邦基金利率降到 历史最低点；2009年3月5日英国央行和欧洲央行均宣布降息50基点，利率双双创出 历史新低，全球主要国家的利率几乎同步进入零利率时代。 二是采取量化宽松政策(quantitative easing and increased money supply)。2009 年3月5日英国央行货币政策委员会正式宣布将实行量化宽松政策，扩大货币供应量， 向市场注入流动性。2009年3月18日美国联邦储备委员会决定大手笔购买1.15万亿美 元债券，也开始转向量化宽松政策。2009年5月7日欧洲央行决定将买入担保债券，并 延长面向商业银行的回购操作期限。日本、英国、美国和欧元区等发达国家和地区为了 应对金融危机，先后都开始采取非常规的货币政策手段——通过量化宽松政策向市场大 量注入流动性以恢复经济，体现了量化宽松政策的同步性。 现在全球经济有复苏迹象，各国也在考虑宏观经济政策的退出问题(macroeconomic exit strategy)。如美国联邦储备委员会9月23日表示，美国经济在经历严重衰退后正 在复苏，并决定放缓购买抵押贷款支持证券的步伐。美联储将从2010年初开始削减短期 资金拍卖规模，而欧洲央行、瑞士央行以及英国央行也宣布，将收紧向金融体系注入美 元流动性的步伐。宏观经济政策普遍有退出的迹象。10月6日，澳大利亚储备银行率先 宣布将基准利率提高了0.25%至3.25%，这是后危机时代首个加息的国家，其他国家是 否会跟进加息呢宽松的政策是否要齐步退出呢笔者认为宏观经济政策的退出将是一个渐进的过程、一个协调的过程。 首先政策退出是一个渐进的过程。金融危机来袭，各国面临同样的困境，对经济前 景的判断一致，各国都同时采取措施抵御危机的冲击，宏观经济政策高度一致。但是一 旦经济开始恢复，由于各国受到金融危机影响的程度不同，各国经济恢复程度也会有所 不同，同时各国对经济复苏的判断也会有所不同，因此宏观经济政策的退出时机和步伐 可能会不尽相同。如美国联邦储备委员会主席伯南克10月8日表示，在美国经济取得足 够改善时，美联储将收紧货币政策，以避免通货膨胀加剧，这意味着目前还不是政策退 出之时，宽松的货币政策仍然要保持。一旦宏观经济形势明显改善，信贷市场恢复正常， 投资和消费恢复，美联储才会将逐步退出宽松的货币政策。笔者认为退出过程也将是渐 进的。开始应是逐步退出量化宽松政策的数量型工具，恢复美联储的资产负债表，使其 回到正常水平。目前美联储的资产负债表扩张到2.18万亿美元，潜在的通货膨胀风险上 升，因此一旦信贷市场恢复，美联储就要削减量化宽松政策的力度，直至退出量化宽松 政策。若经济恢复增长，通货膨胀预期上升，物价水平开始上涨，美联储可能开始加息， 提高融资的成本，遏制需求的过度扩张和通货膨胀上升。因此政策退出将是一个渐进的 过程，将由数量型工具退出向价格型工具退出过渡，数量型工具和价格型工具退出的本 身也将是一个渐进的过程，退出的步伐将根据宏观经济形势的变化而变化。如果经济恢 复快，则政策退出的速度也会加快。 同时政策退出还是一个协调的过程。在全球金融危机爆发的时候，全球宏观经济政 策容易协调，各国同时采取宽松的宏观经济政策。但是在政策退出时，笔者认为为了全 球经济的平稳恢复和发展，也要加强各国宏观经济政策退出的协调。在经济全球化的时 代，金融一体化程度越来越高，各国之间的金融联系也越来越紧密，在开放经济的条件 下，一国宏观经济政策有着重要的溢出效应(spillover effect)。如澳洲央行升息后， 澳元开始走强，美元下跌，油价和黄金价格上涨，通货膨胀的风险上升。如果只是单个 国家采取退出政策，还会面临调整的压力，如货币升值和出口下降等。同时单个国家货 币政策的效果也较弱。目前澳元仍旧是主要货币当中利率最高的一个，也是主要货币当 中第一种开始加息的货币，澳元升值预期上升，吸引资本流入，可能会进一步推高资产 价格上涨和通货膨胀，将抵消货币政策加息的效果。在当今相互依赖的经济环境中，单 个国家的宏观经济政策会有溢出效果，国内的政策会对其他国家经济产生作用，同时政 策的效果也会减弱。溢出效应提供了国际政策协调的理论前提，在不同国家之间的政策 合作对世界经济能够起到帕累托最优的效果，也就是说一国的货币政策既有利于促进本 国经济的增长，又不会对别国经济产生不良效果。事实上，即使最优的结果难以取得， 政策的协调也比非合作对付国际经济的不稳定更有效果。随着国际金融市场自由化、全 球化的发展，国际经济的依赖性相互增强，需要进一步加强宏观经济政策退出的协调， 促进全球经济的平稳增长。

As can be seen from the above charts, the living standard of peasants in China has improved greatly since AIGE, that is, the income per capita rose from more than B00 in AIGE yuan to more than G00 yuan in AIIE, and the consumption per capita increased from more than A00 yuan in AIGE to more than C00 yuan in AIIE.It is no difficult job for US to come up with some possible factors that underlie the above changes. In the first place, China began to carry out the reform and open policy at the end of AIG0s．The reform and opening to the outside has brought Chinese people a rich and colorful life. Therefore, people’s income per capita, including peasants, increased largely, as is shown in the charts. In the second place, the government has been paying much attention to agricultural development, and offering a lot of favorable policies to peasants. Thus, the peasants become richer and richer through their hard working. They can spend more money in purchasing whatever they want.From what has been discussed so far, it can be predicted that the trend will continue for quite a while in the near future. So if we can keep the change going on as usual, a bright future will await us.
