摘要

Today's students were born well after the dramatic scientific reinterpretations of theropod dinosaur stance and metabolism of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Yet, if asked to draw a picture of Tyrannosaurus rex, most of these students will likely draw an animal with an upright, tail-dragging posture, remarkably like the original 1905 description of this famous dinosaur. We documented this phenomenon by asking college (n = 111) and elementary to middle school students (n = 143) to draw pictures of T. rex. On each drawing, we measured the angle of the spine from a horizontal surface. An average angle of 50-608 was found in drawings from all ages, which is within about 58 of the 1905 posture at 578. This is in striking contrast to images created by modern dinosaur scientists, which average between 0 and 108. In an effort to explain this pattern, we measured T. rex images in a wide variety of popular books, most of them for children, published from the 1940s to today. Since 1970, a gradually increasing proportion has represented T. rex with a more horizontal back (lower tail angle). Thus, popular books, while slow to change, cannot entirely account for this pattern. The erect T. rex stance continues, however, to dominate other areas of popular experience, such as toys and cartoons, which most American children encounter early in life. We hypothesize that older-style images long embedded in pop culture could lead to cultural inertia, in which outdated scientific ideas are maintained in the public consciousness long after scientists have abandoned them.

Rex的图片。在每个图中，我们测量了脊柱从水平表面的角度。在所有年龄段的附图中发现了50-608的平均角度，这在1905年的姿势中的约58年度在578中。这与由现代恐龙科学家创造的图像相比，平均值在0到108之间。在努力为了解释这种模式，我们从20世纪40年代到今天，我们在各种流行书籍中测量了大多数流行书籍的雷克斯图片。自1970年以来，逐渐增加的比例代表了具有更水平的REX（尾角）。因此，流行的书籍，虽然更改缓慢，但不能完全占这种模式。然而，勃起的T.雷克斯姿态继续占据世界其他地区的其他地区，例如玩具和漫画，大多数美国孩子在生活中遇到的。我们假设嵌入在流行文化中的旧式形象可能导致文化惯性，在科学家抛弃他们之后，在公共意识中保持过时的科学思想。
