The recognition of human body shape in infancy.

婴儿期对人体形状的认识。新生儿对人类的面孔有期望，据推测，这种早期的知识使他们能够识别并开始与其他人交往。虽然面孔是识别和与他人交流的核心，但人体也具有高度的信息和表达能力，但迄今为止几乎没有对婴儿的研究？对人体的期望。该提案详细介绍了六项研究，这些研究将系统地探索和记录婴儿的发展。对人体的期望，并将进一步测试的理论，婴儿？最早的社会交往依赖于人的面部和身体的表现。

The recognition of human body shape in infancy. Newborn infants have expectations about human faces and it is hypothesised that this early knowledge allows them to identify and begin to engage with other humans. While faces are central to identification of and communication with others, human bodies are also highly informative and expressive, yet to date there is almost no research on infants? expectations about human bodies. This proposal details six studies that will systematically explore and document the development of infants? expectations about human bodies, and will further test the theory that infants? earliest social interactions are dependent upon representations of the human face and body.
