摘要: 人类对行为意图的推理有很重要的生存意义, 这种能力使我们能够更好地处理和其他个体的社会关系。意图的推理能力早在婴儿半岁时就已经出现, 研究者通过习惯化、神经科学等方法对其进行了探讨, 但这种能力究竟源于先天遗传, 还是后天经验, 始终未能得到统一答案。此外, 婴儿的意图推理能力与幼儿期心理理论之间存在一定关系, 对语言习得的先后天争论也有一定的启示作用。

Abstract: Inference of the goal-directed action is the foundation of most social cognition. Infants focus selectively on the behaviors that are relevant to the actor’s underlying intention when they are 6 months old. However, it is controversial that infant’s understanding of the goal-directed action is based on the experience or innate mechanism. Some researchers insist that the theory of mind roots from the understanding of the goal-directed action. Besides, inference of the goal-directed action is the base of language acquisition. For children, language acquisition is an intentional symbol connecting words and objects. The capability of intention understanding limits infinite possibilities of word-object association.

Key words: infants, intention, action, theory of mind, language acquisition
