物体如何被拿着决定了它们如何被看到，从而在建立视觉物体表征中发挥着重要的发展作用。先前的研究表明，幼儿和成年人一样，会向自己展示不成比例的平面物体视图-也就是说，物体的伸长轴垂直或平行于视线的视图。在这里，三个实验解决了这种偏见的三种解释：（1）物体有趣特征的位置决定了它们如何被持有，从而决定了它们如何被观看;（2）容易持有决定了物体视图;（3）存在独立于持有和有趣表面属性的平面视图的视觉偏见。18至24个月的儿童手动和视觉探索新的物体（1）有趣的功能集中在平面或视图;（2）放置在有机玻璃盒内，使持有偏见的平面或非平面视图;（3）放置在有机玻璃球体内，使没有对象属性直接影响持有。结果表明，平面视图的视觉偏见，有趣的表面特性和易用性的影响，但继续存在，即使当这些因素推动替代意见。
How objects are held determines how they are seen, and may thereby play an important developmental role in building visual object representations. Previous research suggests that toddlers, like adults, show themselves a disproportionate number of planar object views - that is, views in which the objects' axes of elongation are perpendicular or parallel to the line of sight. Here, three experiments address three explanations of this bias: (1) that the locations of interesting features of objects determine how they are held and thus how they are viewed; (2) that ease of holding determines object views; and (3) that there is a visual bias for planar views that exists independently of holding and of interesting surface properties. Children 18 to 24months of age manually and visually explored novel objects (1) with interesting features centered in planar or views; (2) positioned inside Plexiglas boxes so that holding biased either planar or non-planar views; and (3) positioned inside Plexiglas spheres, so that no object properties directly influenced holding. Results indicate a visual bias for planar views that is influenced by interesting surface properties and ease of holding, but that continues to exist even when these factors push for alternative views.
