Part IV Error Correction (15 minutes)
Quite recently researchers have reviewed the causes of motion sickness and methods with which it may be suppressed. They concentrated first of all in motion sickness which develops in children (71) travelling in the back seat of cars. A lot of children suffer terribly from car sick. What’s required is to provide the child with (72) the visual field he has in walk. So objects at (73) a distance in the center of the field remain stationary while those in the peripheral field appear to move. This can be achieved by positioning the child in a raised seat in the front of the car, that, of course, isn’t very (74) sensible in terms of safety. Looking at the horizon is always beneficial to anyone develops sea sickness, because it’s the (75) only object which doesn’t move. If he is below deck, closing his eyes is helpful. It’s better to have no visual information but something which (76) results in conflict.
Taking drugs is one way to prevent motion sickness. In the fact, it’s interesting to note (77) that these have been excluded in medical kits (78) used in space flights. Astronauts have been known to develop motion sickness, too: Drugs are fine in moderation. We human beings, moreover, are not (79) alone in our suffering. Dogs, cats and horses are also easily effected. Even fish in glass (80) containers on ships sometimes become seasick.
