Our previous studies on learning and on cognitive development in preverbal human infants indicated that motor activity and social interaction played particularly important roles in the cognitive development of infants. Closer analysis has revealed that motor activity and social interaction have some underlying common regulatory mechanisms. These mechanisms can be detected more easily in infants than in older subjects. An attempt to synthesize our observations led us to the concept that there is a fundamental cognitive process in the integration of adaptive behaviour. This concept may help to elucidate the motivational and emotional aspects of social interaction, the role of mothers or other caretakers in their interactions with infants, and the unfavourable effects of early social deprivation of different types on cognitive development. Some of the assumptions on which this concept is based have been corroborated by analyses of adult-infant interaction.
我们之前关于前语言期人类婴儿学习和认知发展的研究表明，运动活动和社会互动在婴儿的认知发展中发挥着尤为重要的作用。进一步分析发现，运动活动和社会互动存在一些潜在的共同调节机制。相较于年龄较大的个体，这些机制在婴儿身上更容易被检测到。综合我们的观察结果，我们得出了一个概念，即在适应性行为的整合中存在一个基本的认知过程。这一概念可能有助于阐明社会互动的动机和情感方面、母亲或其他照顾者在与婴儿互动中的作用，以及不同类型的早期社会剥夺对认知发展的不利影响。对成人与婴儿互动的分析证实了这一概念所基于的一些假设。
