我们调查了爬行与非爬行婴儿是否将代理人围绕障碍物的运动解释为目标导向。婴儿（69个月）习惯于一个自我推进的圆圈跳过障碍物，以达到一个目标。当障碍物被移除后，爬行的婴儿（n = 13）对熟悉但现在非理性的跳跃路径的注视时间比对新颖但理性的直线路径的注视时间更长，而非爬行的婴儿（n = 17）没有区分。外貌偏好与年龄和习惯化速度无关。这些研究结果支持婴儿的代理加工出现早期，并适用于所有代理的说法，但强调的作用，经验的发展中的行动解释。
We investigated whether crawling versus noncrawling infants interpret an agent's movements around an obstacle as goal-directed. Infants (69 months) were habituated to a self-propelled circle jumping over an obstacle to reach a goal. When the obstacle was removed, infants who crawled (n = 13) showed longer looking time to the familiar but now nonrational jumping path versus a novel but rational straight-line path. Noncrawlers (n = 17) did not discriminate. Looking preference was independent of age and speed of habituation. These findings support the claim that infants' processing of agency emerges early and applies to all agents, but stress the role of experience in the development of action interpretation.
