Memory decision-making in 26- to 32-month-olds was investigated using visual-paired comparison paradigms, requiring toddlers to select familiar stimuli (Active condition) or view familiar and novel stimuli (Passive condition). In Experiment 1 (N = 108, 54.6% female, 62% White; replication N = 98), toddlers with higher accuracy in the Active condition showed reduced novelty preference in that condition, but not in the Passive condition (d = -.11). In Experiment 2 (N = 78; 52.6% female; 70.5% White), a brief 5% increase in target size boosted gaze transitions across conditions (d = .50) and accuracy in the Active condition (d = .53). Overall, evidence suggests that better attentional distribution can support decision-making. Research was conducted between 2014 and 2020 in Northern California.
采用视觉配对比较范式研究了 26 至 32 个月大婴儿的记忆决策能力，要求幼儿选择熟悉的刺激物（主动条件）或观看熟悉和新颖的刺激物（被动条件）。在实验 1（N=108，女性占 54.6%，白人占 62%；复制 N=98）中，在主动条件下准确率较高的幼儿在该条件下对新奇性的偏好降低，但在被动条件下没有（d=-.11）。在实验 2（N=78；女性占 52.6%；白人占 70.5%）中，目标大小增加 5%会促进在各个条件下的注视转移（d=0.50）和主动条件下的准确率（d=0.53）。总的来说，有证据表明更好的注意力分配可以支持决策。该研究于 2014 年至 2020 年在加利福尼亚州北部进行。
