ACTION PERCEPTION AND THE SENSORIMOTOR SYSTEM IN INFANT VERB LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

这项拟议的项目旨在研究感觉运动系统、动作知觉和动作体验在婴儿动词学习中所起的作用。这项研究将开始确定当语言技能处于发展的关键阶段，并得到理解他人行为的能力的支持时，这些领域是如何相互作用的。其目的是解决一系列问题，这些问题可以直接评估感觉运动系统在早期动词加工中扮演的角色，积极的动作体验是否会影响婴儿后来的动词理解，以及婴儿运动能力的个体差异是否可以预测后来的动词学习。

The proposed project seeks to examine the role that the sensorimotor system, action perception, and action experiences play in infant verb learning. This research will begin to identify how these domains interact when language skills are at a crucial stage of development and are buttressed by the ability to understand the actions of others. The aim is to address a series of questions that can directly assess what role the sensorimotor system plays in early verb processing, whether active experiences with actions influence infants' later verb comprehension, and whether individual differences in infants' motor capacities can predict later verb learning.
