这项研究调查了婴儿如何通过观察来收集有关环境的信息，以及这种信息如何随着运动技能的增加而变化。在实验1中，9.5个月和14个月大的孩子参加了一个10分钟的自由发挥会议与陌生人和模糊的玩具。有一个显着的发展进程，从被动到主动的社会参与，证明了年幼的婴儿看别人沟通更多和年龄较大的婴儿作出更多的出价的社会互动。实验2纵向研究了年龄和步行开始对这一进展的影响。过渡到独立行走标志着婴儿观察他人交流和积极参与社会互动的频率发生了重大变化。研究结果表明，婴儿过渡到被动的观察者作为爬行者在他们的社会环境中的主动参与者与发病的步行。(c)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
This study investigated how infants gather information about their environment through looking and how that changes with increases in motor skills. In Experiment 1, 9.5- and 14-month-olds participated in a 10-min free play session with both a stranger and ambiguous toys present. There was a significant developmental progression from passive to active social engagement, as evidenced by younger infants watching others communicate more and older infants making more bids for social interaction. Experiment 2 examined longitudinally the impact of age and walking onset on this progression. The transition to independent walking marked significant changes in how often infants watched others communicate and made active bids for social interaction. Results suggest that infants transition from passive observers as crawlers to active participants in their social environment with the onset of walking. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
