Evaluating individuals based on their pro- and anti-social behaviors is fundamental to successful human interaction. Recent research suggests that even preverbal infants engage in social evaluation; however, it remains an open question whether infants' judgments are driven uniquely by an analysis of the mental states that motivate others' helpful and unhelpful actions, or whether non-mentalistic inferences are at play. Here we present evidence from 10-month-olds, motivated and supported by a Bayesian computational model, for mentalistic social evaluation in the first year of life.A video abstract of this article can be viewed at http://youtu.be/rD_Ry5oqCYE.
基于个体的亲社会和反社会行为来进行评价,是人类成功互动的基础。最近的研究表明,即使是还不会说话的婴儿也会进行社会评价;然而,婴儿的判断是否仅仅是由分析激发他人有益和无益行为的心理状态所驱动,还是非心理状态的推断在起作用,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。在这里,我们通过一个由贝叶斯计算模型驱动和支持的 10 个月大婴儿的实验,为生命第一年的心理社会评价提供了证据。本文的视频摘要可在 http://youtu.be/rD_Ry5oqCYE 观看。
