摘要

儿童早期工具使用的发展是发展心理学中一个持续关注的话题。然而,由于缺乏对生态环境的研究,导致人们对儿童如何根据其文化功能使用文物存在许多未知。我们报告了一项纵向研究,涉及17名在马德里(西班牙)一所幼儿园上学的社会人口学不同的儿童(8名女性)及其两名成年女教师。使用混合效应模型和Granger因果关系分析,我们测量了7至17个月大儿童使用物体的频率和持续时间的变化,以及教师和儿童行为对之间的定向影响。结果显示,儿童使用人工制品的方式发生了明显的转变。早在12个月大的时候,传统用途的频率就超过了所有其他类型的物体用途。此外,对象使用的持续时间会随着年龄的增长而缩短,无论其类型如何。此外,某些教师的非语言交际策略(例如,示范规范使用和放置手势)显著影响和促进了儿童的传统工具使用。研究结果揭示了儿童如何在幼儿园通过与人工制品和其他人的互动,越来越熟练地使用传统工具。

The road to conventional tool use: Developmental changes in children's material engagement with artifacts in nursery school

The development of tool use in early childhood is a topic of continuing interest in developmental psychology. However, the lack of studies in ecological settings results in many unknowns about how children come to use artifacts according to their cultural function. We report a longitudinal study with 17 sociodemographically diverse children (8 female) attending a nursery school in Madrid (Spain) and their two adult female teachers. Using mixed-effects models and Granger causality analysis, we measured changes in the frequency and duration of children's object uses between 7 and 17 months of age and in the directional influences among pairs of behaviors performed by teachers and children. Results show a clear shift in how children use artifacts. As early as 12 months of age, the frequency of conventional uses outweighs that of all other types of object use. In addition, object uses become shorter in duration with age, irrespective of their type. Moreover, certain teachers' nonlinguistic communicative strategies (e.g., demonstrations of canonical use and placing gestures) significantly influence and promote children's conventional tool use. Findings shed light on how children become increasingly proficient in conventional tool use through interactions with artifacts and others in nursery school.

期刊介绍: Infancy, the official journal of the International Society on Infant Studies, emphasizes the highest quality original research on normal and aberrant infant development during the first two years. Both human and animal research are included. In addition to regular length research articles and brief reports (3000-word maximum), the journal includes solicited target articles along with a series of commentaries; debates, in which different theoretical positions are presented along with a series of commentaries; and thematic collections, a group of three to five reports or summaries of research on the same issue, conducted independently at different laboratories, with invited commentaries.
