最近的一项研究调查了婴儿对有意行为的理解，声称是在研究儿童后来的心理理论的早期起源或前兆。如果这些婴儿的理解与后来的学前成就是连续的，那么两者之间应该存在经验联系。我们提供的初步证据表明，婴儿的社会注意预测以后的社会认知。具体来说，14个月大的婴儿对人类有意行为的习惯显著地预测了后来学龄前对人的心理解释，这是在心理理论量表上测量的。
Recent research examining infants' understanding of intentional action claims to be studying the early origins or precursors of children's later theories of mind. If these infant understandings are continuous with later preschool achievements, there should be empirical connections between the two. We provide initial evidence that infants' social attention predicts later social cognition. Specifically, 14-month-olds' habituation to human intentional action significantly predicts later preschool mentalistic construal of persons, as measured on a Theory of Mind Scale.
