How do infants acquire the ability to manipulate another's attention, and become able to direct others' attention toward the object which they were interested in? For infants who can't use language, the most useful tool to attract others' attention is their expressive eyes. Thus, the primary style of attracting others' attention was considered to begin as an infant's gaze shifts from an interesting object to their social partner. Previous studies pointed out the possibility that infant gaze shift from the object to person would be increased by arousal of emotion (Adamson & Russell, 1999). However, this idea hasn't yet been verified. Therefore, the main purposes of this study were to investigate whether arousal of positive emotion would trigger an infant's gaze shift from an object to a person, and to clarify the developmental changes of infant gaze shift","PeriodicalId":297121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Although the actual visual images have color shape and motion features, traditional change detection tasks were mainly related to only color and shape. This study using dynamic color random dots dealt with motion direction and color shape equally and then tested previous proposals. The capacity significantly decreased when motion features were added, that is to say, the performance in motion and both color and shape binding conditions was worse than in a single feature condition, unlike in color and shape binding condition.

The neurons composing the neural architecture of our creature are modeled as Hindmarsh-Rose bursting neurons. Our results show that the coupling of neural and body-environment dynamics produces a persistent reflex-induced fear-like response following the collision with objects. In absence of sensory feedback, however, the creature locomotes and the fear-like state disappear. Based on our experimental results, we introduce a novel hypothesis to explain the emergence of primitive emotions.

Children were tested with two experimental TV-game tasks, and we analyzed their behavior precisely from several viewpoints concerning representation of self, recognition of the outer environment, and recognition of the interactive agents. Four and five year-old children showed that they understood contingencies between their own action and visual feedback and memorized the visual environment.

The onset of crawling is a dramatic arrival in the parade of infants' new motor skills. Mahier, Pine, and Bergman (1975) assigned locomotion acquisition is a role in the development of infants' psychological independence from their caregivers. Despite the potential contributions of locomotion to human development, however, the human infants' ability to locomote has rarely been treated empirically (Gustafson (1984). Recently, some researchers pointed out the onset of crawling is a vital role in early development and involves a pervasive set of changes in perception, cognition, and social development (Campos et al., (2000). A great deal of effort has been made on relation between crawling onset and perception, cognition development. What seems to be lacking, however, is relation between crawling onset and social development. This derives us to the question why does crawling onset relate to social development. What I wish to show in present study is whether the structure of mother-infant interaction would change as infants started crawling. Mothers and infants (12 pairs) were videotaped to play scene monthly from 6 to 10 months of age (7 boys and 5 girls). None was able to creep or crawl. Observations in the laboratory were scheduled at times that were optimal for baby. Free play scene is videotaped in 10 minutes. All mothers and infants come to laboratory every month. Behavior categories are following: (1) mother-infant physical distance (keep in touch, nearby, faraway): (2) the style of interaction (face-to-face, not face-to-face). These categories were checked by 5 seconds bout. All infants were assessed locomotion ability every month, and were classified in one of three stages. The prelocomotor stage is that infants can't locomote with oneself alone at all. The creeping stage is that infants can locomote alone with creeping. The crawling stage is that infants can locomote alone with crawling. Coding was done by a graduate student who was naive to the purpose of this study and author. A Cohen's kappa was used to assess inter-coder reliability. Kappa for behavior categories was 0.92. The following results were obtained: In the prelocomotor stage, structure of mother-infant interaction tended to distance of both were near, but it was not face-to-face. However, the structure changed when infants began to locomote( the creeping stage). In this stage, between mothers and infants come to occur a remote distance, on the other hand, face-to-face interaction increased. In next stage (the crawling stage), furthermore, between mothers and infants come to occur a near distance again but face-to-face situation had been maintained. It is said that locomotion development is a very important for later social cognitive development. However there seems to be no established theory to explain this suggestion. To examine the structural changes of mother-infant interaction on the basis of a point of view of infant's locomotion ability might of","PeriodicalId":297121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
