本研究在Baillargeon（1987）和Baillargeon，Spelke，and Wasserman（1985）的旋转屏幕研究的基础上，探讨了8个月大婴儿对物体恒存的知觉。使用类似于Baillargeon和她的同事使用的“现场”刺激的计算机动画刺激（Baillargeon，1987; Baillargeon等人，1985），48个8个月大的婴儿习惯于4个计算机动画事件之一，然后对所有4个事件进行测试。这些事件涉及一个以180或120弧度旋转的屏幕和一个位于旋转屏幕路径上或不在事件中的块。研究结果没有提供证据表明婴儿的反应是基于Baillargeon和她的同事所声称的事件的可能性或不可能性，而是表明婴儿的反应是基于感知的新奇性。这些结果与Schilling（本期）以及Bogartz、Shinskey和Schilling（本期）的发现一致。综合考虑，沿着里维拉、Wakeley和Langer（1999）的发现，这些最近的发现表明Baillargeon（1987; Baillargeon等人，1985）的结果不应被解释为非常年幼的婴儿物体恒存性的确切证据。
This study investigated 8-month-old infants' perception of object permanence in an extension of the rotating screen studies by Baillargeon (1987) and Baillargeon, Spelke, and Wasserman (1985). Using computer-animated stimuli similar to the "live" stimuli used by Baillargeon and her colleagues (Baillargeon, 1987; Baillargeon et al., 1985), 48 8-month-old infants were habituated to 1 of 4 computer-animated events and then tested on all 4 events. The events involved a screen that rotated in either a 180 or 120 arc and a block that either was sitting in the path of the rotating screen or absent from the event. The results provided no evidence that infants responded on the basis of the possibility or impossibility of the events as claimed by Baillargeon and her colleagues, but instead indicated that the infants responded on the basis of perceptual novelty. These results are consistent with the findings of Schilling (this issue) and Bogartz, Shinskey, and Schilling (this issue). Taken together, along with the findings of Rivera, Wakeley, and Langer (1999), these more recent findings suggest that Baillargeon's (1987; Baillargeon et al., 1985) results should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of object permanence in very young infants.
