过去20年的研究表明，即使是非常年幼的婴儿也对身体事件有期望，这些期望在生命的第一年经历了显著的发展。在这篇文章中，我首先回顾了一些这方面的研究，重点是婴儿对遮挡、遏制和报道事件的期望，所有这些都涉及隐藏的物体。接下来，我将介绍整合了这些不同发现的婴儿的身体推理，并描述了测试来自这一账户的预测的新实验。最后，因为我讨论的所有研究都使用了违反预期的方法，所以我解决了最近对该方法的担忧，并总结了有助于缓解这些担忧的新发现。
Research over the past 20 years has revealed that even very young infants possess expectations about physical events, and that these expectations undergo significant developments during the first year of life. In this article, I first review some of this research, focusing on infants' expectations about occlusion, containment, and covering events, all of which involve hidden objects. Next, I present an account of infants' physical reasoning that integrates these various findings, and describe new experiments that test predictions from this account. Finally, because all of the research I discuss uses the violation-of-expectation method, I address recent concerns about this method and summarize new findings that help alleviate these concerns.
