我们调查了母亲以可能帮助婴儿处理人类行为的方式修改其婴儿指导的行为的可能性。在一项受试者间设计中，51位母亲向她们的婴儿（6-8个月或11-13个月）或成年伴侣展示了五种新物体的特性。由于对婴儿的预测演示在互动性，热情，与合作伙伴的接近度，运动范围，重复性和简单性方面更高，表明母亲确实以可能保持婴儿注意力并突出行动的结构和意义的方式修改了他们的婴儿指导行动。研究结果表明，“母亲语”的范围比以前认识到的更广，包括对动作和语言的修改。
We investigated the possibility that mothers modify their infant-directed actions in ways that might assist infants' processing of human action. In a between-subjects design, 51 mothers demonstrated the properties of five novel objects either to their infant (age 6-8 months or 11-13 months) or to an adult partner. As predicted demonstrations to infants were higher in interactiveness, enthusiasm, proximity to partner, range of motion, repetitiveness anti simplicity, indicating that mothers indeed modify their infant-directed actions in ways that likely maintain infants' attention anti highlight the structure and meaning of action, The findings demonstrate that 'motherese' is broader in scope than previously recognized, including modifications to action as well as language.
