最近的研究表明，4至8个月大的婴儿可以跟踪和预测物体在不同的不可见空间变换后的最终取向（Rochat，P.，Hespos，S. J.（1996年）。认知发展，11，3-17）。本研究设计了六个实验来进一步说明一组动态事件的早期预期的性质和发展。采用违背期望的方法，评估婴儿对物体方位在不可见变换后可能和不可能结果的反应。方向线索的可用性，运动的路径，和无形的空间转换量是系统变化的。研究表明，4个月大的婴儿就能检测到物体在经历不可见的空间变换时的特定方位线索。4至6个月大的儿童在这种能力上的发展差异，使我们了解这种早期表征能力的性质和局限性。这些发现为婴儿期的动态心理表征提供了证据。(C)1997 Elsevier Science B，V.
Recent research indicates that 4- to 8-month-old infants can track and anticipate the final orientation of an object following different invisible spatial transformations (Rochat, P., Hespos, S.J. (1996). Cognitive Development, 11, 3-17). Six experiments were designed to specify further the nature and development of early expectation for a set of dynamic events. A violation of expectation method was used to assess infants' reactions to probable and improbable outcomes of an objects' orientation following an invisible transformation. The availability of orientation cues, the path of motion, and the amount of invisible spatial transformation was systematically varied. The studies indicate that infants as young as 4 months of age detect orientation-specific cues for objects undergoing invisible spatial transformations. Developmental differences in this ability between 4 and 6 months of age lend insight to the nature and limitations of this early representational ability. These findings provide evidence for dynamic mental representation in infancy. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B,V.
