在5个月大的人类婴儿和成人中研究了延迟（750-ms条件刺激[CS]，650-ms刺激间间隔[ISI]），长延迟（1，350-ms CS，1，250-ms ISI）和跟踪（750-ms CS，500-ms跟踪间隔，1，250-ms ISI）眨眼条件下联想学习的个体发生。婴儿和成年人表现出不同的收购率，但达到等效渐近线的条件反应（CR）在标准的延迟条件。在长时间延迟和痕量条件下，婴儿表现出不如成年人强大的条件反射和最小的能力，适当的时间CR。在婴儿期，ISI，而不是空调程序，预测率和有效性的CR。这些发现表明，高阶认知能力在发育早期就开始出现。然而，在个体发育过程中，支持联想学习的限制和参数发生了变化。
The ontogeny of associative learning in delay (750-ms conditional stimulus [CS], 650-ms interstimulus interval [ISI]), long-delay (1,350-ms CS, 1,250-ms ISI), and trace (750-ms CS, 500-ms trace interval, 1,250-ms ISI) eyeblink conditioning was examined in 5-month-old human infants and adults. Infants and adults showed different acquisition rates but reached equivalent asymptotes of conditional responses (CRs) in standard delay conditioning. In long-delay and trace conditions, infants exhibited less robust conditioning than adults and minimal ability to appropriately time CRs. During infancy, the ISI, rather than the conditioning procedure, predicted rate and effectiveness of CRs. These findings suggest that higher order cognitive abilities begin emerging early in development. Across ontogeny, however, there are changes in the limits and parameters that support associative learning.
