Abstract

ABSTRACT The research program described here is based on an approach to doing developmental research that has at its foundation principles of Ecological Psychology set forth by James Gibson and which has its beginnings in the mentorship provided by Eleanor Gibson. The research summarized covers decades of laboratory studies with infants and young children with a focus on three topics: (a) perceiving and responding to an affordance of nontraversability, (b) perceiving affordances provided by covers used in object permanence research and perceiving hidden affordances, and (c) picking up metamodal information in speech-gesture synchrony for word learning in typically as well as atypically developing children. Findings from this research show the importance of attending to the information-specifying aspects of the environment as well as the nature of the action studied when designing developmental research. It is hoped that this research review will provide insights for Ecological Psychology that come from understanding the beginnings of organism-environment relationships and how these relationships vary and change for different individuals and across the life span.

吉米和杰姬的联合：发展生态心理学研究项目的基金会

摘要本文所述的研究项目基于一种发展研究方法，该方法以詹姆斯·吉布森提出的生态心理学原理为基础，并始于埃莉诺·吉布森的指导。该研究概述了数十年来对婴儿和幼儿的实验室研究，重点关注三个主题：（a）感知和回应不可回避的可供性，以及（c）在典型和非典型发育儿童的单词学习中，在语音-手势同步中提取超模态信息。这项研究的结果表明，在设计发展研究时，关注指定环境方面的信息以及所研究行动的性质非常重要。希望这篇研究综述将为生态心理学提供见解，这些见解来自于对生物体与环境关系的开端的理解，以及这些关系在不同个体和整个生命周期中是如何变化的。

期刊介绍： This unique journal publishes original articles that contribute to the understanding of psychological and behavioral processes as they occur within the ecological constraints of animal-environment systems. It focuses on problems of perception, action, cognition, communication, learning, development, and evolution in all species, to the extent that those problems derive from a consideration of whole animal-environment systems, rather than animals or their environments in isolation from each other. Significant contributions may come from such diverse fields as human experimental psychology, developmental/social psychology, animal behavior, human factors, fine arts, communication, computer science, philosophy, physical education and therapy, speech and hearing, and vision research.
