人类适应性行为的正常发展依赖于视觉注意和身体运动的整合，但对出生后生命开始时运动-注意耦合的初始状态知之甚少。我们研究了1个月和3个月大的婴儿在视觉探索的延长期，发现自发转移的目光之前，在一般的身体运动的快速变化。结果显示，在几秒或更短的时间尺度上，运动激活和外显注意力之间存在着紧密的联系，这种联系在出生后的最初几周内经历了实质性的发展变化。在此期间，相位运动激活可能在视觉探索中发挥关键作用，帮助在环境不变时解锁凝视。
The normal development of adaptive behavior in humans depends on the integration of visual attention and body movement, yet little is known about the initial state of movement-attention coupling at the beginning of postnatal life. We studied 1- and 3-month-old infants during extended periods of visual exploration and found that spontaneous shifts of gaze are preceded by rapid changes in general body movement. The results reveal a tight link between motor activation and overt attention on a time scale of seconds or less. This link undergoes substantial developmental change in the first few weeks after birth. During that time, phasic motor activation may play a key role in visual exploration by helping to unlock gaze when the environment is unchanging.
