題名 嬰兒在無人示範情境下的觀察學習：目的論解釋與物體效應學習的角色 (II) 其他題名 Infants$ Observational Learning through $Ghost Conditions$: the Roles of Teleological Representation and Affordance Learning 作者 黃啟泰 貢獻者 國立政治大學心理學系

Influenced by the conceptual and methodological framework developed within the comparative sciences, a growing body of developmental research has been increasingly interested in identifying different social learning mechanisms during childhood. The experimental techniques used to dissect social learning in nonhuman animals have been adapted to the study of human children. This project investigates infants’ understanding of actions in a social learning context. Specifically, the ‘ghost’ condition, in which the movements of an object are displayed without a conspecific or human model acting on the object, is evaluated. The success in the ‘ghost’ condition has been interpreted as simple forms of emulation learning such as object movement reenactment or affordance learning. Although the ‘ghost’ display precludes social information (e.g. human surface features and bodily movements) supporting inferences about human intentions, there is yet another cognitive explanation. The teleological representation system theory argues that infants use a range of behavioral cues (such as self-propulsion, equifinal variation, contingent reactivity, and action efficiency) to identify agents and goal-directedness. Therefore, the aim of the project is to investigate the extent to which the capability of infants to learn from a ‘ghost’ model is due, not to affordance learning, but to a proclivity for teleological interpretation. In a series of four experiments, the relative influences of affordance detection and teleological understanding are systematically examined. Experiment 1 looks at whether 16 to 18-month-old infants would imitatively attribute a goal to an action that cannot be justified as an efficient means to the goal within constraints of an obstacle. If imitation is modulated by attribution of goal-directedness, the teleological representation theory predicts a negative bias. By contrast, if imitation is reliant on affordance detection, the emulation hypothesis predicts a null effect. Based on the findings of Experiment 1, Experiment 2 is designed to further delineate the role of context-sensitive behavioral cues in efficiency evaluation, and Experiment 3 is conducted to assess the effects of increased action processing demands on teleological understanding. Experiment 4 tests whether infants’ knowledge about specific aspects of the situation influences their tendency to emulate actions that they have not seen completed. The findings of this project have important research and educational implications. Researchers can gain more understanding of the role of infants’ ability to interpret actions as goal-directed in early social learning that has become a crucial issue in the developmental social cognitive neuroscience. Clinicians and teachers can also teach young children teleological analysis skills for problem solving, or devise more effective strategies to facilitate their action understanding (this can be achieved by highlighting object affordances or behavioral cues).關聯 商品化
