The development of gaze following begins in early infancy and its developmental foundation has been under heavy debate. Using a longitudinal design ( = 118), we demonstrate that attachment quality predicts individual differences in the onset of gaze following, at six months of age, and that maternal postpartum depression predicts later gaze following, at 10 months. In addition, we report longitudinal stability in gaze following from 6 to 10 months. A full path model (using attachment, maternal depression and gaze following at six months) accounted for 21% of variance in gaze following at 10 months. These results suggest an development of gaze following, driven by the infant's own motivation to interact and engage with others (the perspective).
注视跟随能力的发展始于婴儿早期，其发展基础一直存在激烈争论。我们采用纵向设计（N = 118），证明依恋质量可预测6个月大时注视跟随开始时间的个体差异，而产后母亲抑郁则可预测10个月大时较晚的注视跟随情况。此外，我们报告了6至10个月间注视跟随能力的纵向稳定性。一个完整的路径模型（使用6个月时的依恋、母亲抑郁和注视跟随情况）解释了10个月时注视跟随差异的21%。这些结果表明注视跟随能力的一种发展模式，是由婴儿自身与他人互动和交往的动机驱动的（社会互动视角）。 （注：原文中部分内容缺失英文单词，这里是根据上下文补充完整后翻译的，比如“N =”“社会互动”等，以保证译文的完整性和可读性）
