摘要

幼儿有时会错误地解释带有“结果”含义的动词,比如把“fill”理解为往杯子里加液体,而不是把它装满到特定的水平。鉴于事件成分在语言中如何实现的跨语言差异,过去的研究将此类错误归因于非成人事件-语言映射。在本研究中,我们探讨这些错误是否有非语言来源。也就是说,当子节点查看事件时,它们对事件最终状态的编码是否过于不精确,以至于无法区分到达预期端点的事件与未到达预期端点的事件?使用习惯化范式,我们测试了13个月大的英语学习婴儿(N = 86)是否区分不同完成程度的事件(例如,画一个完整的三角形与画一个三角形的大部分)。结果表明成功的区分,表明对精确事件最终状态的敏感性已经在婴儿期早期到位。因此,我们的研究结果排除了儿童在状态变化谓词上出错的一种可能的解释——他们没有注意到不同完成度的最终状态之间的差异。

Event end-state encoding in 13-month-olds—completed and non-completed events are different
Young children sometimes incorrectly interpret verbs that have a “result” meaning, such as understanding ‘fill’ to refer to adding liquid to a cup rather than filling it to a particular level. Given cross-linguistic differences in how event components are realized in language, past research has attributed such errors to non-adultlike event-language mappings. In the current study, we explore whether these errors have a non-linguistic origin. That is, when children view an event, is their encoding of the event end-state too imprecise to discriminate between events that do versus do not arrive at their intended endpoints? Using a habituation paradigm, we tested whether 13-month-old English-learning infants (N = 86) discriminated events with different degrees of completion (e.g., draw a complete triangle versus draw most of a triangle). Results indicated successful discrimination, suggesting that sensitivity to the precise event end-state is already in place in early infancy. Thus, our results rule out one possible explanation for children’s errors with change-of-state predicates—that they do not notice the difference between end-states that vary in completion.
