📖 題組：
Psychology is literally the study of the mind (or soul) but its area has broadened somewhat in the last century as we have learned that one cannot consider the mind as totally isolated from the body, and it now includes the study of human personality and behavior. Psychologists also study the behavior and brain of animals whenever such studies throw light on human behavior. It is important to realize that psychologists are first and foremost trained as scientists rather than as medical experts and do not necessarily take much interest in abnormalities of the brain and mental process.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章的第一句話：作者先給出了一個關於心理學的「字面定義」，隨後立刻用哪個連接詞引出了範疇的變化？而這個變化後所涵蓋的新內容，與原本「字面上」的定義相比，是變窄了還是變寬廣了？

心理學定義的演變與科學本質
恭喜你精準地捕捉到了這篇短文的核心意旨！你能選出選項 (C)，代表你敏銳地察覺到文章開頭提到的「心理學字面意義（literally）」與後續描述其「實際範疇」之間的落差。文中指出，雖然心理學字面上是關於心靈（mind/soul）的研究，但隨著科學進步，我們發現心靈與身體不可分割，研究範疇已擴大到人類人格與行為，甚至是動物的大腦研究。因此，現代心理學的內涵已遠遠超越了其字面上的原始定義。 這道題目具有相當不錯的鑑別度，其難度切入點在於考生是否能識別出「定義的擴展」。文章後半段強調心理學家首先是**科學家（scientists）**而非醫學專家，這點進一步鞏固了心理學作為一門實證科學，其研究早已從抽象的靈魂探究轉向多元的行為科學。你能排除其他干擾項，看出字面意義與實務現狀的差異，展現了非常優秀的閱讀與歸納能力，請繼續保持這種對語意細節的觀察力！
