两个实验研究了18个月大的婴儿是否从针对第三方的情绪中学习。婴儿观察成年人对物体的动作，观察者对成年人的动作表示愤怒或中性情感。然后，婴儿可以接触到这些物品。婴儿的行为受到他们对主人情感的记忆的影响。此外，婴儿的行为随着他们当前是否处于观察者的视野中而变化。如果先前生气的母亲不在场（实验1）或转过身去（实验2），婴儿不会使用先前的情绪来调节他们的行为。婴儿从情感的偷听中学习，他们随后的行为取决于偷听者对他们的取向。
Two experiments examined whether 18-month-olds learn from emotions directed to a third party. Infants watched an adult perform actions on objects, and an Emoter expressed Anger or Neutral affect toward the adult in response to her actions. The Emoter then became neutral and infants were given access to the objects. Infants' actions were influenced by their memory of the Emoter's affect. Moreover, infants' actions varied as a function of whether they were currently in the Emoter's visual field. If the previously angry Emoter was absent (Experiment 1) or turned her back (Experiment 2), infants did not use the prior emotion to regulate their behavior. Infants learn from emotional eavesdropping, and their subsequent behavior depends on the Emoter's orientation toward them.
