To test this idea, they looked at six people with damage to the VMPC on both sides of their brains. These people are known from other work to have poor social-emotional responses.

为了证实这种构想的合情合理，科学家们对六个普通人进行了观察研究，这六个人的大脑两侧的正中前额皮质层均受到了伤害，而且这些人平日在工作中有着极不理想的社会性情绪反应。

The researchers' hypothesis was that people with VMPC-damage would come to theutilitarian answer in difficult cases (push the guy in front of the wagon) more often than either of the other two groups.

研究人员的说法是正中前额皮质层受损的人会在进退两难之时给出理性的回答，即把那一个人推向失控的铁路货车之前，而且这种回答的频率比其他两组人的频率都要高。
