Infants learn less from a televised demonstration than from a live demonstration, the video deficit effect. The present study employs a novel approach, using touch screen technology to examine 15-month olds' transfer of learning. Infants were randomly assigned either to within-dimension (2D/2D or 3D/3D) or cross-dimension (3D/2D or 2D/3D) conditions. For the within-dimension conditions, an experimenter demonstrated an action by pushing avirtual button on a 2D screen or a real button on a 3D object. Infants were then given the opportunity to imitate using the same screen or object. For the 3D/2D condition, an experimenter demonstrated the action on the 3D object, and infants were given the opportunity to reproduce the action on a 2D touch screen (and vice versa for the 2D/3D condition). Infants produced significantly fewer target actions in the cross-dimension conditions than in the within-dimension conditions. These findings have important implications for infants' understanding and learning from 2D images and for their using 2D media as the basis of actions in the real world.
婴儿通过电视演示学习的效果不如通过现场演示,这就是视频缺陷效应。本研究采用了一种新方法,使用触摸屏技术来检验 15 个月大婴儿的学习迁移。婴儿被随机分配到维度内(2D/2D 或 3D/3D)或跨维度(3D/2D 或 2D/3D)条件下。在维度内条件下,实验者通过在 2D 屏幕上推虚拟按钮或在 3D 物体上推真实按钮来演示一个动作。然后,婴儿有机会使用相同的屏幕或物体进行模仿。在 3D/2D 条件下,实验者在 3D 物体上演示动作,婴儿有机会在 2D 触摸屏上再现动作(反之亦然,在 2D/3D 条件下)。婴儿在跨维度条件下产生的目标动作明显少于在维度内条件下。这些发现对婴儿理解和学习 2D 图像以及将 2D 媒体作为现实世界中动作的基础具有重要意义。
