我们研究了个体发育的凝视以下测试婴儿在9个月，10个月和11个月大。婴儿（N = 96）看着一个成年人把她的头转向一个目标，无论是开放或关闭的眼睛。10个月和11个月大的婴儿在睁开眼睛的情况下比闭上眼睛的情况下明显更频繁地转动，但是9个月大的婴儿没有不同的反应。虽然9个月大的婴儿可能会把别人看作是“身体定向者”，但是大一点的婴儿开始注意到别人是否与外部世界“视觉连接”，因此，研究结果还显示，10-11个月大时的注视行为与18个月大时的语言得分之间存在很强的正相关性。社会认知的影响进行了讨论，在9和11个月的年龄之间的目光的发展变化。
We examined the ontogeny of gaze following by testing infants at 9, 10 and 11 months of age. Infants (N = 96) watched as an adult turned her head toward a target with either open or closed eyes. The 10- and 11-month-olds followed adult turns significantly more often in the open-eyes than the closed-eyes condition, but the 9-month-olds did not respond differentially Although 9-month-olds may view others as 'body orienters', older infants begin to register whether others are 'visually connected' to the external world and, hence, understand adult looking in a new way Results also showed a strong positive correlation between gaze-following behavior at 10-11 months and subsequent language scores at 18 months. Implications for social cognition are discussed in light of the developmental shift in gaze following between 9 and 11 months of age.
