so-called

That experiences influence subsequent behavior is evidence of an obvious but nevertheless remarkable activity called remembering. Learning could not occur without the function popularly named memory. Constant practice has such an effect on memory as to lead to skillful performance on the piano, to recitation of a poem, and even to reading and understanding these words. So-called intelligent behavior demands memory, remembering being a primary requirement for reasoning. The ability to solve any problem or even to recognize that a problem exists depends on memory. Typically, the decision to cross a street is based on remembering many earlier experiences.
过去的经历会影响日后的行为,这就表明存在着一种明显然而却非凡的脑力活动——记忆。没有被广泛称之为记忆的作用,学习就不可能发生。不断的练习实践对记忆产生了影响,从而成就了钢琴上的熟练弹奏、背诵诗歌,甚至阅读和理解这些文字。所谓的智力行为需要记忆能力,因为它是推理的基本要求。解决问题亦或甚至是辨别有问题存在的能力有赖于记忆。举例来说,一个穿过街道的决定是根据对许多以往经历的回忆而做出的。
