83名12个月大的婴儿面对一个嘈杂的、活跃的物体一分钟，之后物体向左或向右旋转45度。五个条件考察了哪些物体特征会在婴儿中引发注视跟随行为。在一种情况下，物体是一名成年陌生人。其他四个条件使用了一个柔软的、棕色的、狗大小的、形状不规则的、不对称的新奇物体，该物体沿着两个维度变化，理论上认为这是识别意向存在的核心：面部特征和临时互动行为。婴儿在任何情况下都会转移自己的注意方向，以与演员或物体的方向相匹配，但物体既没有面孔，也没有临时互动行为的情况除外。因此，一般来说，婴儿的注视行为似乎是由特定的行为和形态特征结构选择性地驱动的，特别是那些被理论认为是潜在的意向性归因，而不是个人本身的归因。
Eighty-three 12-month-old infants faced a noisy, active, object for one minute, after which the object turned 45 degrees to the left or the right. Five conditions explored what object features elicited gaze-following behavior in the infants. In one condition, the object was an adult stranger. The other four conditions used a soft, brown, dog-sized, amorphously-shaped, asymmetrical novel object that varied along two dimensions theorized as central to the identification of intentional beings: facial features and contingently interactive behavior. Infants shifted their own attentional direction to match the orientation of the actor or object in every condition except the one in which the object lacked both a face and contingently interactive behavior. Infants' 'gaze' -following behavior in general, therefore, appears to have been driven selectively by a particular configuration of behavioral and morphological characteristics, specifically those theorized as underlying attributions of intentionality rather than attributions of person per se.
