How does the behavior of putting things away () in a container and using them again () develop in young children? Though object interaction is one of the most examined topics in child development, research on organized behavior with various objects and containers at home is lacking. Rather than conducting experiments on young children's interactions with objects, this study focused on natural child-object interaction in the home.
We conducted a case study on a young child's natural interaction with objects at home, focusing on when the child puts them in or takes them out of a container (the shelf, the cabinet, or the box). The study took place over 2½ years.
The behaviors of putting many objects in a container and taking them out appeared at 9 months old. After acquiring the skill of walking, the child carried the objects using bags. Putting objects in and taking them out was embedded in the locomotion, and the child prepared the containers of toys before play. Pulling as many objects out as possible became rare after 19 months of age. Taking objects out became more appropriate in that context. The child brought out the container before the activity and put things away afterward.
Based on these findings, the development of organized object interaction as well as the anticipation and significance of the naturalistic longitudinal observations are discussed.
幼儿将物品放入容器（ ）并再次使用（ ）的行为是如何发展的？尽管物体互动是儿童发展中研究最多的主题之一，但针对家中各种物品和容器的有组织行为的研究却很缺乏。本研究并非对幼儿与物体的互动进行实验，而是聚焦于家中儿童与物体的自然互动。
我们对一名幼儿在家中与物体的自然互动进行了案例研究，重点关注该幼儿何时将物品放入容器（架子、柜子或盒子）或从容器中取出物品。该研究持续了两年半时间。
将许多物品放入容器并取出的行为在9个月大时出现。在掌握行走技能后，幼儿会用袋子搬运物品。将物品放入和取出的行为融入到了移动过程中，并且幼儿在玩耍前会准备好玩具容器。19个月大之后，尽可能多地取出物品的行为变得很少见。在这种情况下，取出物品的行为变得更加恰当。幼儿在活动前会拿出容器，活动后会收拾好物品。
基于这些发现，我们讨论了有组织的物体互动的发展以及自然主义纵向观察的预期和意义。
