Seven and 10-month-old infants were presented with a remote-controlled toy dog that intermittently barked at 30-sec intervals as they faced an experimenter who either attended to them (look toward condition) or looked away (look away condition). Seven-month-old infants' looking toward the experimenter was significantly greater after the dog barking events compared to before regardless of experimental condition. In contrast, 10-month-old infants' looks were significantly greater after the barking events compared to before only when the experimenter was attending to them. These results suggest that by 10 months infants monitor and refer to people in an ambiguous situation depending on their attention toward them. This development is viewed as indexing the emergence of an intentional stance in social referencing by 10 months of age.
研究人员让7个月和10个月大的婴儿面对一名实验者，实验者要么关注他们（看向婴儿组），要么看向别处（看向别处组），同时向他们展示一只遥控玩具狗，这只玩具狗每隔30秒就会间歇性地吠叫。无论实验条件如何，与吠叫事件发生前相比，7个月大的婴儿在狗吠叫事件后看向实验者的次数显著增加。相比之下，只有当实验者关注他们时，10个月大的婴儿在吠叫事件后的看向次数才比之前显著增加。这些结果表明，到10个月大时，婴儿在模棱两可的情境中会根据他人对自己的关注来监测并参考他人的行为。这种发展被视为10个月大时社会参照中意向立场出现的标志。
