闻乐 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 不是拼凑知识点，AI这次是真搞研究。 一个叫 Virtuous Machines 的AI系统，花了17小时、114美元，找了288个真人做实验，写了一篇30页的学术论文。 而且还是 从选题到成稿 全自动化速通！？ 来看看这个AI都写了点啥。 AI自动化做科研：从灵光一现到可发表论文 AI自主完成的这个论文属于 认知心理学领域 ，具体聚焦于 人类视觉认知 相关的研究方向。 而且它可不是瞎写，而是靠人类的科研套路来。 先是基于认知心理学理论提出研究问题，比如"视觉工作记忆与心理旋转能力有没有关系"、"心理意象清晰度对视觉认知任务表现有什么影 响"等。 （视觉工作记忆是指人类维持并处理视觉信息的能力，涉及信息存储、操作和提取过程；心理旋转是指通过心理操作实现空间客体旋 转以完成知觉匹配的认知过程） 像人类一样搞科研 接着设计实验方案，考虑到了样本量计算、控制变量，还用VVIQ2量表测量被试（对象）的心理意象清晰度； 在确定好实验方案后，它还通过在线平台Prolific招募了288名被试对象，等277份有效数据（部分被试未完成实验，被AI筛除了）收上来，它 又连续 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the importance of fostering optimism in children and how parental responses to their failures can significantly influence their emotional development and outlook on life [1][9][15]. Group 1: Parental Responses - Encouragement should be based on reality rather than empty praise, as children need to feel a sense of achievement through their own efforts [3][30]. - Overly protective parenting can deprive children of challenges and experiences that are crucial for developing resilience and a sense of accomplishment [12][25]. - Parents should avoid taking over tasks for children, as this can undermine their confidence and growth opportunities [6][26]. Group 2: Impact of Negative Thinking - Habitual negative thinking can lead to detrimental outcomes such as withdrawal, reluctance to try new things, and a lack of effort [7][8]. - Children who internalize failures may develop a pessimistic view of themselves and their abilities, which can be influenced by their parents' attitudes and behaviors [18][20]. - The article emphasizes that children need to learn to cope with negative emotions and challenges rather than being shielded from them [23][24]. Group 3: Cultivating Optimism - Optimism can be cultivated through specific strategies that help children face challenges without retreating [15][17]. - Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's "explanatory style," which affects how they interpret events and setbacks [16][19]. - Accepting and validating children's negative emotions is essential for helping them develop a balanced perspective on life [22][35]. Group 4: Realistic Praise - Authentic praise should focus on observable actions rather than subjective evaluations, which can lead to confusion and frustration for children [30][31]. - Parents should describe what they see without adding judgment, allowing children to understand their experiences more clearly [28][30]. - The article stresses that unrealistic praise can create a false sense of achievement and hinder genuine self-awareness in children [33][36].
