成年人拥有大量关于物质世界的知识,而发展研究人员长期以来一直对揭开婴儿期这些知识的根源感兴趣。指导这项研究的两个主要问题是:不同年龄的婴儿对身体事件有什么期望,以及他们如何实现这些期望?皮亚杰(Piaget,1952,1954)是第一个系统研究婴儿身体知识发展的研究人员。他检查了婴儿在各种任务中的行为,并得出结论,年幼的婴儿对他们观察到的身体事件知之甚少。例如,皮亚杰指出,8 个月以下的婴儿不会寻找他们看到的被隐藏的物体,并得出结论,他们还没有意识到物体被隐藏时仍然存在。 Piaget(1952,1954)实验方法的一个困难是动作任务不仅仅测试婴儿的身体知识(例如,Berthier et al., 2001; Boudreau & Bushnell, 2000; Keen & Berthier, 2004)。例如,为了寻找隐藏的物体,婴儿不仅必须代表物体的存在和位置,而且还要计划并执行适当的动作来检索它。由于幼儿的信息处理资源非常有限,他们可能在搜索任务中失败,不是因为他们还不明白物体在隐藏时仍然存在,而是因为任务的综合需求压倒了他们的处理资源。
Adults possess a great deal of knowledge about the physical world, and developmental researchers have long been interested in uncovering the roots of this knowledge in infancy. Two main questions have guided this research: what expectations do infants possess, at different ages, about physical events, and how do they attain these expectations?Piaget (1952, 1954) was the first researcher to systematically investigate the development of infants’ physical knowledge. He examined infants’ actions in various tasks, and concluded that young infants understand very little about the physical events they observe. For example, Piaget noted that infants younger than 8 months do not search for objects they have watched being hidden, and concluded that they do not yet realize that objects continue to exist when hidden. One difficulty with Piaget’s (1952, 1954) experimental approach is that action tasks do not solely test infants’ physical knowledge (eg, Berthier et al., 2001; Boudreau & Bushnell, 2000; Keen & Berthier, 2004). In order to search for a hidden object, for example, infants must not only represent the existence and location of the object, but also plan and execute appropriate actions to retrieve it. Since young infants’ information-processing resources are sharply limited, they may fail at a search task not because they do not yet understand that objects continue to exist when hidden, but because the combined demands of the task overwhelm their processing resources.
