最近使用“橡胶手错觉”的研究表明，身体表征背后的多感觉过程在4至9岁的儿童和成人中有显着不同。这个年龄段的儿童在表征自己的手在外部空间中的位置时，比成人更依赖于手的视觉，而不是手的本体感觉位置。目前的研究调查了在儿童后期，视觉和本体感受输入之间的平衡何时达到成人样的权重。在10到13岁的孩子中诱导橡胶手错觉之后，我们要求参与者闭上眼睛，指向他们的手的感知位置。我们发现，指向反应在10至11岁时达到成人水平，这表明在这个年龄段，儿童使用类似成人的感觉线索平衡来感知手的位置。我们的结论是，身体自我的多感官基础经历了一个漫长的发展时期，通过早期和中期的童年，达到成人状态的10至11年。(C)2015爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Recent research using the "rubber hand illusion" shows that the multisensory processes underlying body representations are markedly different in children of 4 to 9 years and adults. In representing the position of their own hand in external space, children of this age rely more on the sight of the hand, and less on its proprioceptively felt position, than adults do. The current study investigated when during later childhood the balance between visual and proprioceptive inputs reaches an adult-like weighting. After inducing the rubber hand illusion in 10- to 13-year-olds, we asked participants to point, with eyes closed, to the perceived position of their hand. We found that pointing responses reached adult levels at 10 to 11 years, showing that at this age children perceive hand location using an adult-like balance of sensory cues. We conclude that the multisensory foundations of the bodily self undergo a protracted period of development through early and mid-childhood, reaching an adult state by 10 to 11 years.
