五个月大的婴儿可以检测到他们自己的腿部运动和视频显示之间的不变关系。在三个实验中，他们区分了自己腿部运动的完美现场展示和自我或同伴的非偶然展示。他们通过对非偶然性展示的优先注视来显示这种歧视。即使当婴儿S对他或她自己身体的直视被遮挡时，这种效果也是明显的，消除了基于自我运动视觉和运动视频显示之间的内模视觉比较的视频图像歧视。这些发现表明，S身体动作的现场展示所提供的偶然性是通过检测运动的本体感觉信息和该动作的视觉展示之间的不变的跨通道关系来感知的。这些关系的发现可能是婴儿期自我知觉发展的基础。此外，尽管3个月大的孩子没有表现出对偶发和非偶发展示的显著区别，但他们确实比5个月大的孩子在这两种展示上表现出了更多的极端比例。这可能反映了婴儿S从自我取向到社会取向的进步。
Five-month-old infants can detect the invariant relationship between their own leg motion and a video display of that motion. In three experiments they discriminated between a perfectly contingent live display of their own leg motion and a noncontingent display of self or a peer. They showed this discrimination by preferential fixation of the noncontingent display. This effect was evident even when the infant''s direct view of his or her own body was occluded, eliminating video image discrimination on the basis of an intramodal visual comparison between the sight of self-motion and the video display of that motion. These findings suggest that the contingency provided by a live display of one''s body motion is perceived by detecting the invariant intermodal relationship between proprioceptive information for motion and the visual display of that motion. The detection of these relations may be fundamental to the development of self-perception in infancy. In addition, though 3-month-olds did not show significant discrimination of the contingent and noncontingent displays, they did show significantly more extreme looking proportions to the two displays than did the 5-month-olds. This may reflect the infant''s progression from self to social orientation.
