28、tie between smell and memory into an easy, non-invasive（无创的）technique for strengthening memory and potentially preventing dementia. The teams study appears in Frontiers in Neuroscience.The study was conducted through the UCI Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory. It involved men and women
29、 aged 60 to 85 without memory disorders. They were each given a diffuser（扩散器）and seven small bottles, each containing a single and different natural oil.

Researchers have previously found that exposing people with moderate dementia to up to 40 different scents twice a day over a period

Surprisingly enough, individuals working alone tend to produce more and better ideas compared to brainstorming in groups.To unearth the hidden potential in teams, instead of brainstorming, a shift to a process
39、 called “brainwriting” is more effective. Initially, you ask everyone to generate ideas independently. Next, you pool them and share them anonymously（匿名地）among the group.

They find that a key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, participation can easily become dominated by the most

The goal isnt to be the smartest person in the room its to make the room smarter.Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesnt en

47、owerful individuals in decision-making.35. What is the function of collective judgment in collective intelligence?A. Identifying the top ideas. B. Finding more good solutions.C.
