期望违背（VOE）范式及其相关方法是研究言语前婴儿高级认知的主要工具。婴儿对概念上不可能/不可能的事件的不同看法已被用作许多领域的早期认知能力的指标，包括物体知识，物理，语言和数字。然而，一个事件的可解释性通常与其感知的新奇或熟悉性相混淆，导致对观看时间数据的各种解释（Bogartz，Shinskey & Speaker，1997）。这个说明性的研究表明了析因设计的价值，其中感知（新奇-熟悉）和概念（可能-不可能）变量是独立和联合探索的。它还介绍了瞳孔扩张作为一个可行的和补充的依赖措施，研究婴儿的认知。我们表明，瞳孔数据可以帮助解释，否则模棱两可的看时间数据。讨论的重点是在婴儿期研究的方法考虑。
The violation-of-expectation (VOE) paradigm and related methods are the main tools used to study high-level cognition in preverbal infants. Infants' differential looking to conceptually implausible/impossible events has been used as an index of early cognitive competence in many areas, including object knowledge, physics, language, and number. However, an event's plausibility is commonly confounded with its perceptual novelty or familiarity, leading to a variety of interpretations for looking time data (Bogartz, Shinskey & Speaker, 1997). This illustrative study demonstrates the value of factorial designs, in which perceptual (novelty-familiarity) and conceptual (possible-impossible) variables are independently and jointly explored. It also introduces pupil dilation as a viable and complementary dependent measure to study infant cognition. We show that pupil data can assist in the interpretation of otherwise equivocal looking time data. The discussion focuses on methodological considerations in infancy research.
