We examined how experience at home with pets is related to infants' processing of animal stimuli in a standard laboratory procedure. We presented 6-month-old infants with photographs of cats or dogs and found that infants with pets at home (N=40) responded differently to the pictures than infants without pets (N=40). These results suggest that infants' experience in one context (at home) contributes to their processing of similar stimuli in a different context (the laboratory), and have implications for how infants' early experience shapes basic cognitive processing.
我们研究了婴儿在家中与宠物相处的经验如何与其在标准实验室程序中处理动物刺激的方式相关。我们向 6 个月大的婴儿展示了猫或狗的照片，发现家中有宠物的婴儿（N=40）对这些图片的反应与家中没有宠物的婴儿（N=40）不同。这些结果表明，婴儿在一个情境（家中）的经验有助于他们在另一个情境（实验室）中处理类似的刺激，并且对婴儿早期经验如何塑造基本认知处理具有启示意义。
