ABSTRACT Agents are important for structuring memory in adulthood. However, it is unclear whether this “social memory bias” stems from a reliance on agents in verbal narratives, or whether it reflects more fundamental preverbal memory processes. By testing 9-month-old infants in a non-verbal eye-tracking paradigm, we were able to effectively compare infant memory for events construed as the goal-directed action of an agent with those construed as the outcome of an inanimate object. Results demonstrate that preverbal infants’ memory increased for events including an agent as opposed to an inanimate object (Exp 1). Memory was also enhanced if infants were trained to perceive the inanimate object as an agent’s tool (Exp 2). Memory results were not dependent on attention differences to the events during encoding. Thus, these experiments suggest that the presence of a person in an event can alter foundational memory processes.

人类行为支持婴儿记忆

摘要 代理对于构建成年期的记忆很重要。然而,目前尚不清楚这种“社会记忆偏差”是否源于对言语叙述中的代理的依赖,或者它是否反映了更基本的言语前记忆过程。通过在非语言眼动追踪范式中测试 9 个月大的婴儿,我们能够有效地比较婴儿对被解释为代理目标导向行为的事件的记忆与被解释为无生命物体结果的事件的记忆。结果表明,与无生命物体相比,包括代理在内的事件的前语言婴儿的记忆力增加了(实验 1)。如果训练婴儿将无生命物体视为代理的工具(实验 2),记忆力也会增强。记忆结果不依赖于编码过程中对事件的注意力差异。因此,
