我们评估了4个月大的婴儿（N = 38）的眼球运动，因为他们目视检查对猫或狗的图像。一般来说，有过宠物经验的婴儿比没有宠物经验的婴儿表现出更复杂的检查，都将更多的视觉注意力集中在动物的头部区域，特别是在比较刺激时，并保持他们对单个动物的注意力，抵抗其他可见动物对他们注意力的吸引。个体差异在一般注意力策略的评估在前测有类似的，但较弱的关系，视觉扫描模式。有一些证据表明，这两个因素与视觉检查交互相关，支持Kovack-Lesh及其同事的发现（Kovack-Lesh，Horst，&奥克斯，2008; Kovack-Lesh，奥克斯，& McMurray，2012），即婴儿对这种类型的刺激的学习和记忆是由宠物经验和注意力风格共同决定的。
We assessed the eye-movements of 4-month-old infants (N = 38) as they visually inspected pairs of images of cats or dogs. In general, infants who had previous experience with pets exhibited more sophisticated inspection than did infants without pet experience, both directing more visual attention to the informative head regions of the animals, particularly when comparing stimuli, and maintaining their attention to an individual animal, resisting the pull on their attention by the other visible animal. Individual differences in general attentional strategies as assessed during a pretest had similar but weaker relations to visual scanning patterns. There was some evidence that the 2 factors were interactively associated with visual inspection, supporting the findings of Kovack-Lesh and colleagues (Kovack-Lesh, Horst, & Oakes, 2008; Kovack-Lesh, Oakes, & McMurray, 2012) that infants' learning about and memory for this type of stimuli is jointly determined by pet experience and attentional style.
