Abstract | Hamlin et al. (2007, 2010, 2011) showed that preverbal infants exhibit preference for animated figures in social events, and Chow, Tsui & Tseng (2011) demonstrated that infants can successfully associate visual (e.g. shape, color, and motion) cues with emotional cues (e.g. crying and laughing) which could be a prerequisite for making this social judgment. The current study examined whether infants’ ability of associated learning in complex sequences is limited to social-related situations only. After removing all socially relevant cues (eyes, facial expression, crying or laughing) from learning stimuli, we found 8 to 10-month-old infants could still associate agents with motion and neutral auditory outcomes. We also found the shape/color of a figure to be a more salient factor than the movement of the figure. We conclude that associated learning in animated interaction is not limited to specific social contexts in preverbal infants. |
