本研究的目的是探讨幼儿眼表面积的个体差异是否与自发眨眼（SB）率有关。还将SB的发生率与注视移位的发生率进行了比较。44名4个月大的婴儿在受控条件下观察4-6分钟。测量了SB、眼表面积、注视移位和各种背景变量。SB率和眼表面积的个体差异很大。无论是眼表面积，也没有凝视转移率与婴儿SB率。然而，当SB确实发生时，它们更可能与注视转移相一致，而不是紧接在注视转移之前或之后。眼表面积不能解释婴儿期SB发生率的个体差异。这和其他最近的工作表明，中央因素可能发挥更突出的作用，SB机制在人类发展的早期比以前报道的，SB率的机制调节似乎是发展连续的成人。在某种程度上，SB的速度和时间反映了神经系统的发展，SB可能是有用的临床。
The purpose of the present work was to investigate whether individual differences in eye surface area are related to the rate of spontaneous eye blinking (SB) in young infants. Rate of SB was also compared to the rate of gaze shifts. Forty-four 4-month-old infants were observed under controlled conditions for 4–6 minutes. SB, eye surface area, gaze shifts and various background variables were measured. Individual differences in the rate of SB and in eye surface area were wide. Neither the eye surface area nor the rate of gaze shifting was related to the rate of SB in young infants. However, when SB do occur, they are more likely to coincide with a shift in gaze than immediately precede or follow a shift in gaze. Eye surface area does not explain individual differences in the rate of SB in infancy. This and other recent work suggests that central factors may play a more prominent role in the mechanisms of SB early in human development than previously reported and that the mechanisms regulating the rate of SB appear to be developmentally continuous with those of adults. To the extent that the rate and timing of SB reflects developing neurological systems, SB may be useful clinically.
