到第一年年底,婴儿期望口语标签在个体之间扩展,因此,似乎将单词理解为共享的常规形式。然而,婴儿在个体之间扩展标签的意愿是否受限于熟悉的形式(如口语),或者婴儿是否可以识别更广泛的符号作为潜在的惯例,这是未知的。目前的研究测试了12个月大的婴儿是否会将一个新的标志标签扩展到一个新的人。结果表明,12个月大的婴儿期望签署的对象标签关系扩展到代理,但限制个人的对象偏好。结果表明,婴儿对常规行为和语言形式的期望可能在12个月大时很广泛。这些研究结果的影响,婴儿的早期概念的常规行为,以及我们的理解的初始状态的学习者被认为是。
By the end of the first year, infants expect spoken labels to be extended across individuals and thus, seem to understand words as shared conventional forms. However, it is unknown whether infants’ willingness to extend labels across individuals is constrained to familiar forms, such as spoken words, or whether infants can identify a broader range of symbols as potential conventions. The present study tested whether 12-month-old infants will extend a novel signlabel to a new person. Results indicate that 12-month-olds expect signed object-label relations to extend across agents, but restrict object preferences to individuals. The results suggest that infants’ expectations about conventional behaviors and linguistic forms are likely broad at 12-months. The implications of these findings for infants’ early conceptions of conventional behaviors, as well as our understanding of the initial state of the learner are considered.
