Infants who processed visual information more efficiently and had mothers who more frequently encouraged them to attend to properties, objects, and events in the home environment in the first 6 months of life excelled in verbal development during their second year and scored higher on a conventional psychometric assessment of intelligence at 4 years. These results, confirmed over several studies, support the idea of continuity in mental development from infancy and begin to specify parental didactic activities that may most efficaciously promote cognitive achievement in young children of different ages.
在生命的头6个月里，那些能够更高效地处理视觉信息，且母亲更频繁地鼓励他们关注家庭环境中的特征、物体和事件的婴儿，在第二年的语言发展方面表现出色，并且在4岁时的传统智力心理测量评估中得分更高。这些结果在多项研究中得到证实，支持了从婴儿期开始心理发展具有连续性的观点，并开始明确那些可能最有效地促进不同年龄段幼儿认知成就的父母教育活动。
