Abstract

The ability to control movement is a core element of agency. Previous studies of infant agency have focused on responses to sensory contingencies but neglected the importance of infants' control as a necessary indicator of agency. Here, we test whether infants flexibly control their eye movements with a gaze-contingent eye tracking paradigm. Infants aged 6-10 months (N = 45, 18 female, recruited in a city of about 600.000 inhabitants in Germany in 2022) were presented images hidden under a unicolored surface, which they could scratch free by gazing over the screen. Results show that infants flexibly directed their gaze to areas with most information in the underlying image. This indicates that infants can flexibly adjust their gaze to changing circumstances.

控制中的婴儿——注视-偶然眼动追踪范式中6- 10个月大婴儿代理的证据。

控制运动的能力是代理的核心要素。以往对婴儿代理的研究主要集中在对感觉偶然性的反应上，而忽视了婴儿控制作为代理的必要指标的重要性。在这里，我们测试婴儿是否灵活地控制他们的眼球运动与注视随动眼动追踪范式。研究人员向6-10个月大的婴儿（N = 45, 18名女性，于2022年在德国一个约60万居民的城市招募）展示了隐藏在单色表面下的图像，他们可以通过凝视屏幕来抓取图像。结果表明，婴儿可以灵活地将他们的目光指向潜在图像中包含最多信息的区域。这表明婴儿可以灵活地调整他们的目光，以适应不断变化的环境。
