摘要

对童年环境影响长期神经和认知发展程度的新认识,可能证明其在史前时期的作用值得更多关注。在这篇综述中,我们试图确定一系列方式,其中抚养环境的变化可能影响认知功能,并有可能改变文化传播过程。我们关注的是婴儿环境的变化类型,当从移动的狩猎-采集方式转变为更稳定的农业生活方式时,可能会出现这种变化。我们考虑了这些早期环境因素对感知调节、共同注意、行为调节和观察学习产生持久影响的证据,以及这些因素如何影响跨生活方式文化传播过程的差异。我们的结论是,文化变化对婴儿环境的潜在发展意义表明,考古学家应该更多地关注与史前早期儿童环境相关的证据。

Exploring Environmental Influences on Infant Development and Their Potential Role in Processes of Cultural Transmission and Long-Term Technological Change
ABSTRACT Emerging understanding of the extent to which the childhood environment can influence long-term neural and cognitive development may justify greater attention to its role in prehistory. In this review, we attempt to identify a range of ways in which changes to the rearing environment might impact on cognitive function with the potential to modify processes of cultural transmission. We focus on the types of change to the infant environment that may arise when moving from mobile hunter-gather to more settled agrarian lifeways. We consider the evidence for such early environmental factors bringing about enduring effects on perceptual tuning, shared attention, behavioural regulation and observational learning, and how these might contribute to differences in processes of cultural transmission across lifeways. We conclude that the potential developmental significance of cultural changes to the infant environment suggests more attention should be paid by archaeologists to lines of evidence related to early childhood environments in prehistory.
