我们向婴儿（5、6、9 和 12 个月大）播放电影，其中女模特转向并固定桌上放有油的 2 个玩具中的一个。使用 Tobii 1750 眼动仪测量婴儿的凝视。 6、9 和 12 个月大的孩子第一次将目光从模特的脸上（在模特开始转动之后）转移到有人照管的玩具上。 5个月大的孩子的表现是随机的。在这种初步反应之后，5、6 和 9 个月大的孩子将更多的目光转移到关注的目标上； 12 个月大的孩子随机进行实验。所有年龄段的婴儿观看有人看管的玩具的时间都更长。我们讨论了一些关于 5 个月大的孩子在最初的随机反应后跟随成年人明显注意力转移的能力的解释，包括婴儿最初的凝视反应加强了周边视野中物体的表征的可能性。
We presented infants (5, 6, 9, and 12 months old) with movies in which a female model turned toward and fixated 1 of 2 toys placed oil a table. Infants' gaze was measured using a Tobii 1750 eye tracker. Six-, 9-, and 12-month-olds' first gaze shift from the model's face (after the model started turning) was directed to the attended toy. The 5-month-olds performed at random. Following this initial response, 5-, 6, and 9-month-olds performed more gaze shifts to the attended target; 12-month-olds performed at random. Infants at all ages displayed longer looking times to the attended toy. We discuss a number of explanations for 5-month-olds' ability to follow a shift in overt attention by an adult after an initially random response, including the possibility that infants' initial gaze response strengthens the representation of the objects in the peripheral visual field.
