The structure is used to organize the order of the information is cause & effect.
Tone of the article is neutral because its information.
The purpose of this article is show adults who have a difficult time hearing. Studies have show that they can learn how to overcome that article.
" 67 people aged 55 to 70 years old with no hearing loss or dementia in an experiment. Half the group completed about 2 months of exercises with Brain Fitness, a commercially available auditory training program by Posit Science. "
"they understood about 20% more words and could process about 15% more items on a timed test and showed a 50% increase in neural timing. Those in the non-training group showed no improvements in any area."
"Neural slowing especially affects our ability to hear in a noisy background because the sounds we need to hear are acoustically less salient and because noise also taxes our ability to remember what we hear."
This means once I get old I will still be able to hear a little better than generations before.
I struggle to see how this could be considered cause and effect. What would be the cause? What the effect?
ReplyDeleteWhen you are considering tone, neutrality is almost never an option. Why even write anything if you don't care about it? I would say it's definitely analytical and maybe even hopeful (or cautiously hopeful) in that it suggests there might be hope for treatment of dementia based on these findings.
Remember with your supporting details to include your own paraphrased interpretation of the significance of each quote.
I think your inference, however, is solid, but could use a qualifier like "if I use the training that is suggested in this article."
