理解他人的行为取决于对这些行为是由意向性关系构成的这一认识。在许多概念领域，与熟悉的实例进行比较已被证明可以支持儿童和成人辨别新实例的关系结构的能力。最近的证据表明，这一过程支持婴儿对他人目标导向行为的分析（Gerson & Woodward）。目前的研究评估了标签是否支持其他领域的关系学习，也支持婴儿对他人行动的目标结构的敏感性。10个月大的婴儿观察到的事件中，一个熟悉的行动，抓住，是对齐（同时提出）与一个新的工具使用的行动，这两个行动都伴随着一个匹配的标签。经过这一训练，婴儿系统地回应目标结构的工具使用行动的目标模仿范式。在控制条件下，当对齐的动作伴随着非单词的发声，或标签发生时，没有对齐的动作，婴儿没有系统地响应工具使用的行动。这些发现表明，标签支持婴儿对对齐动作的比较，这种比较有助于他们将新动作理解为目标导向。
Understanding the actions of others depends on the insight that these actions are structured by intentional relations. In a number of conceptual domains, comparison with familiar instances has been shown to support children's and adults' ability to discern the relational structure of novel instances. Recent evidence suggests that this process supports infants' analysis of others' goal-directed actions (Gerson & Woodward, ). The current studies evaluated whether labeling, which has been shown to support relational learning in other domains, also supports infants' sensitivity to the goal structure of others' actions. Ten-month-old infants observed events in which a familiar action, grasping, was aligned (simultaneously presented) with a novel tool-use action, and both actions were accompanied by a matched label. Following this training, infants responded systematically to the goal structure of the tool-use actions in a goal imitation paradigm. In control conditions, when the aligned actions were accompanied by nonword vocalizations, or when labeling occurred without aligned actions, infants did not respond systematically to the tool-use action. These findings indicate that labels supported infants' comparison of the aligned actions, and this comparison facilitated their understanding of the novel action as goal-directed.
