To determine the effects of arousal on preference for complexity 9 infants (16 to 18 mo.) were exposed to different levels of complexity under low and high hunger drive. Low-hunger Ss showed longer fixation time than high-hunger Ss toward all stimuli and showed relatively greater preference for complexity than high-hunger Ss. The results were interpreted in terms of optimal-stimulation theory and information-processing theory.
为了确定唤醒对复杂性偏好的影响,9名16至18个月大的婴儿在低饥饿驱力和高饥饿驱力下接触不同程度的复杂性刺激。低饥饿组被试对所有刺激的注视时间都比高饥饿组被试长,并且比高饥饿组被试对复杂性表现出相对更强的偏好。研究结果依据最佳刺激理论和信息加工理论进行了解释。
