本研究旨在探讨婴幼儿控制视觉注意习惯化的个体差异和短期信度。在两组可比的5月龄婴儿中，分别观察到对单一女性面孔和单一几何图案的习惯化。每组参加两次习服，每组的习服时间间隔10天。在两种条件下，习惯化表现为3种模式：大多数幼儿减少注视并以负指数的方式达到标准，部分幼儿先增加注视后迅速适应，部分幼儿在习服前表现出波动的、特殊的注视时间函数。在两次评估之间，习惯化的定性模式和定量指标都显示出中等但显著的可靠性。讨论了注意习惯化的数量和心理测量特征，以及注意习惯化作为婴幼儿认知指标的意义。
This study is concerned with individual differences and short-term reliability of infant-control habituation of visual attention. Habituation to single female faces and to single geometric patterns was observed separately in 2 groups of comparable 5-month-olds. Each group participated in habituation twice, and habituation sessions for each were separated from one another by 10 days. Across the 2 conditions, habituation was found to be distributed into 3 patterns: most infants decreased looking and achieved criterion in a negatively exponential fashion, some infants first increased looking and then rapidly habituation, and some infants showed fluctuating and idiosyncratic looking-time functions prior to habituating. Both qualitative patterns and quantitative indexes of habituation showed moderate but significant reliability between assessment sessions. Quantitative and psychometric characteristics of habituation and the meaningfulness of habituation of attention as an index of infant cognition are discussed.
