Infants' transfer of information from pictures to objects was tested by familiarizing 9-month-olds (N = 31) with either a color or black-and-white photograph of an object and observing their preferential reaching for the real target object versus a distractor. One condition tested object recognition by keeping both objects visible, and the other tested object representation by hiding both objects. On visible trials, infants reached more for the distractor, indicating they recognized the target object from its picture. On hidden trials, infants reached more for the target object, suggesting they formed a continued representation of the object based on its picture. Photograph color had no effect. Infants thus show picture-to-object transfer by 9 months with preferential reaching, even with black-and-white pictures.
通过让 9 个月大的婴儿（N=31）熟悉物体的彩色或黑白照片，并观察他们对真实目标物体与干扰物的优先伸手取物，测试婴儿从图片向物体传递信息的能力。一种条件通过保持两个物体可见来测试物体识别，另一种条件通过隐藏两个物体来测试物体表示。在可见试验中，婴儿更多地伸向干扰物，表明他们从图片中识别出了目标物体。在隐藏试验中，婴儿更多地伸向目标物体，表明他们根据图片形成了对物体的持续表示。照片颜色没有影响。因此，即使是黑白照片，9 个月大的婴儿也会通过优先伸手取物来显示图片到物体的转移。
