研究人员向17个月大的婴儿展示成对的图像，这些图像要么是沉默的，要么是非指导性的听觉刺激“看！”。这些图像经过精心选择，其中一张图片描绘的是婴儿知道其名字的物品，另一张图片描绘的是婴儿不知道名字的图片。尽管没有任何参考输入，但婴儿看有名字的图像的时间比看没有名字的图像的时间要长。这项实验控制了所描述对象的熟悉度：在每一次实验中，呈现给婴儿的图像对之前都被照顾者判断为大致相同的熟悉度。从理论的角度来看，研究结果表明，有名字的物体对婴儿有内在的兴趣。讨论了这种联系的可能的因果方向，并得出结论，尽管可能有其他解释，但结果与沃尔菲安的语言决定论是一致的。从方法论的角度来看，本研究结果对优先注视作为早期词汇理解指标的使用有一定的启示意义。
Seventeen-month-old infants were presented with pairs of images, in silence or with the non-directive auditory stimulus ‘look!’. The images had been chosen so that one image depicted an item whose name was known to the infant, and the other image depicted an image whose name was not known to the infant. Infants looked longer at images for which they had names than at images for which they did not have names, despite the absence of any referential input. The experiment controlled for the familiarity of the objects depicted: in each trial, image pairs presented to infants had previously been judged by caregivers to be of roughly equal familiarity. From a theoretical perspective, the results indicate that objects with names are of intrinsic interest to the infant. The possible causal direction for this linkage is discussed and it is concluded that the results are consistent with Whorfian linguistic determinism, although other construals are possible. From a methodological perspective, the results have implications for the use of preferential looking as an index of early word comprehension.
