本文概述了东京大学 20 多年前启动的跨学科研究项目。该计划的主要目标是（现在仍然是）开发定量分析的方法和相关形式，从特定的理论角度对婴儿行为进行严格的评估。该计划的一部分是使用远程热成像技术来测量小婴儿的情绪变化。与依恋理论中公认的观点相反，2-3 个月大的婴儿在与母亲分离后表现出压力的迹象（以婴儿前额皮肤温度下降为标志）。在另一部分中，我们使用计算机辅助模式识别技术确定了新生儿手臂运动与母亲和其他成年人的言语之间存在人际同步性。在此发现的基础上，我们从系统信息论的角度提出了母婴互动的模拟模型。总的来说，我们的研究计划提供了一套理论驱动的技术和分析方法，可以为早期发展和养育提供更深入的见解。
This paper provides an overview of an interdisciplinary programme of research started more than 20 years ago at the University of Tokyo. A major aim of this programme was (and still is) to develop methods and related forms of quantitative analysis that provide rigorous evaluations of infant behaviour from a particular theoretical perspective. In one part of the programme telethermography is used to measure emotional changes in young infants. Contrary to the accepted view in attachment theory, infants as young as 2–3 months showed evidence of stress following separation from the mother (as indexed by a drop in the skin temperature of the infant's forehead). In another part, we established the presence of interpersonal synchrony between arm movements of the newborn and the speech of the mother and other adults, using computer assisted pattern recognition techniques. On the basis of this finding, we have proposed a simulation model of mother-infant interaction from the perspective of system information theory. In general, our programme of research provides a theoretically driven set of techniques and analytical approaches that may provide deeper insights into early development and parenting.
