This paper explores the role visual attention plays in the recognition of objects in infancy. Research and theory on the development of infant attention and recognition memory are reviewed in three major sections. The first section reviews some of the major findings and theory emerging from a rich tradition of behavioral research utilizing preferential looking tasks to examine visual attention and recognition memory in infancy. The second section examines research utilizing neural measures of attention and object recognition in infancy as well as research on brain-behavior relations in the early development of attention and recognition memory. The third section addresses potential areas of the brain involved in infant object recognition and visual attention. An integrated synthesis of some of the existing models of the development of visual attention is presented which may account for the observed changes in behavioral and neural measures of visual attention and object recognition that occur across infancy.
本文探讨了视觉注意力在婴儿期物体识别中所起的作用。婴儿注意力和识别记忆发展的研究与理论在三个主要部分进行了综述。第一部分回顾了一些主要的研究发现和理论，这些发现和理论源自利用偏好注视任务来研究婴儿期视觉注意力和识别记忆的丰富行为研究传统。第二部分考察了利用婴儿期注意力和物体识别神经测量方法的研究，以及注意力和识别记忆早期发展中脑与行为关系的研究。第三部分讨论了参与婴儿物体识别和视觉注意力的大脑潜在区域。文中呈现了一些现有视觉注意力发展模型的综合整合，这些模型可能解释了婴儿期视觉注意力和物体识别在行为和神经测量方面所观察到的变化。
