为了学习运动动词，婴儿必须对他们语言中词汇化的特定事件特征敏感。运动方式是英语运动动词习得的一个重要事件特征。本文探讨了婴儿在图形路径变化的情况下，何时以及如何识别出运动方式。实验1显示，13 - 15个月奥尔兹（N= 30），在图形路径变化的情况下，能够识别出不变的运动方式。 实验2表明，通过抑制图形的路径来降低事件的复杂性，有助于10至12个月奥尔兹（N= 19）检测到不变方式。 这些研究结果表明：（a）幼儿注意到英语运动动词词汇化的事件特征;（B）通过降低事件复杂性可以促进对方式的注意。
To learn motion verbs, infants must be sensitive to the specific event features lexicalized in their language. One event feature important for the acquisition of English motion verbs is the manner of motion. This article examines when and how infants detect manners of motion across variations in the figure’s path. Experiment 1 shows that 13‐ to 15‐month‐olds (N= 30) can detect an invariant manner of motion when the figure’s path changes. Experiment 2 reveals that reducing the complexity of the events, by dampening the figure’s path, helps 10‐ to 12‐month‐olds (N= 19) detect the invariant manner. These findings suggest that: (a) infants notice event features lexicalized in English motion verbs, and (b) attention to manner can be promoted by reducing event complexity.
