最近的研究表明，到4.5个月时，婴儿使用形状和大小信息作为个性化物体的基础，但直到11.5个月时，他们才使用颜色信息。本实验研究了通过选择经验可以增加婴儿对颜色信息的敏感度的程度。五个实验进行了10.5个月和9.5个月大。结果表明，多模态（视觉和触觉），但不是单峰（视觉），探索的对象之前，个性化的任务增加了10.5个月大的颜色差异的敏感性。这些结果表明，与物体的多感官经验，促进婴儿使用的颜色信息时，个性化的对象。相比之下，9.5个月大的婴儿并没有从多感觉程序中受益;对这一发现的可能解释进行了探讨。总之，这些结果揭示了日常经验-结合视觉和触觉探索的对象-可以促进婴儿使用颜色信息作为个性化对象的基础。更广泛地说，这些结果揭示了婴儿的物体表征的性质和支持婴儿对颜色差异的敏感性变化的认知机制。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Recent research indicates that by 4.5 months, infants use shape and size information as the basis for individuating objects but that it is not until 11.5 months that they use color information for this purpose. The present experiments investigated the extent to which infants' sensitivity to color information could be increased through select experiences. Five experiments were conducted with 10.5-and 9.5-month-olds. The results revealed that multimodal (visual and tactile), but not unimodal (visual only), exploration of the objects prior to the individuation task increased 10.5-month-olds' sensitivity to color differences. These results suggest that multisensory experience with objects facilitates infants' use of color information when individuating objects. In contrast, 9.5-month-olds did not benefit from the multisensory procedure; possible explanations for this finding are explored. Together, these results reveal how an everyday experience--combined visual and tactile exploration of objects--can promote infants' use of color information as the basis for individuating objects. More broadly, these results shed light on the nature of infants' object representations and the cognitive mechanisms that support infants' changing sensitivity to color differences.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
