理解目标和其他意向性关系是个人属性的能力对社会生活至关重要。它使我们能够通过将一个人先前和当前的行为联系起来，并将其与其他人的行为区分开来，来预测和解释在线行为。在本文中，我们考虑的起源的能力，标记的目标作为个人的属性。使用视觉习惯化范式来评估婴儿对目标的跟踪，我们测试了婴儿所代表的目标是否对特定代理具有特异性。13个月大的婴儿限制达到特定的代理人的目标，但概括了一个传统的语言行动，标记，跨代理人。9个月大的婴儿表现出前一种模式，而不是后一种模式。我们讨论了这些发现的背景下，发展个人的具体和个人的一般行动知识的理解。(c)2006 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
The ability to understand that goals and other intentional relations are attributes of individual people is of fundamental importance to social life. It enables us to predict and interpret actions on-line by relating a person's prior and current behaviors, and distinguishing them from the behaviors of other persons. In this paper, we consider the origins of the ability to mark goals as attributes of individual people. Using a visual habituation paradigm to assess infants' tracking of goals, we tested whether infants represented goals are specific to particular agents. Thirteen-month-old infants restricted reaching goals to particular agents, but generalized a conventional linguistic action, labeling, across agents. Nine-month-old showed the former pattern but not the latter. We discuss these findings in the context of developing understandings of person specific and person general action knowledge.
