在学习物体功能时，婴儿必须检测特征之间的关系，例如，挤压与吱吱声相关，或者带有轮子的物体滚动。此前，Perone和Oakes（2006）发现10个月大的婴儿对物体外观和动作之间的关系敏感，但对外观和声音或动作和声音之间的关系不敏感。在这篇文章中，作者通过测试 8 个月和 12 个月大的婴儿 (N = 126) 对这些关系的敏感性，探讨了婴儿对代表功能至关重要的特征相关性的注意力的发展。八个月大的婴儿学习了个体特征，但对这些特征之间的关系并不敏感。十二个月大的婴儿对特征之间的关系很敏感，并对物体外观和动作之间以及外观和声音之间习得的关系的违反做出显着反应。因此，在整个发育过程中，婴儿对与年龄有关的越来越多的关系变得敏感，支持对客体功能发展的信息处理解释。
When learning object function, infants must detect relations among features-for example, that squeezing is associated with squeaking or that objects with wheels roll. Previously, Perone and Oakes (2006) found 10-month-old infants were sensitive to relations between object appearances and actions, but not to relations between appearances and sounds or actions and sounds. In this article the authors probed the development of infants' attention to feature correlations critical for representing function by testing 8- and 12-month-old infants' (N = 126) sensitivity to such relations. Eight-month-old infants learned individual features but were not sensitive to the relations between those features. Twelve-month-old infants were sensitive to the relation among the features and significantly responded to violations in learned relations between object appearances and actions and between appearances and sounds. Thus, across development, infants become sensitive to an increasing number of relations with age, supporting an information-processing account of the development of object function.
