{ "pk": 29837, "title": "Active Vision in the Perception of Actions: An Eye Tracking Study in Naturalistic\nContexts", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Infants’ ability to attend actively and selectively to naturalistic\nstimuli is critical to early learning. Most studies on infant visual\nattention use screen-based paradigms wherein infants view\nstimuli on computer screens. Little is known about how infants\nobserve others’ activities in everyday contexts. Using head-\nmounted eye-tracking, this study examined how infants\ndistributed attention when observing their parents perform an\neveryday task – making peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches –\nin a home-like environment. Infant observers attended to\nparents’ activities less than adult observers in the same\nsituation. However, when infants were engaged in action\nobservation, their gaze patterns were distributed on task-\nrelevant objects similarly to adult observers, suggesting they\nactively obtained rich visual input in this free-viewing\nsituation. Moreover, infant-parent dyads coordinated visual\nattention during the food preparation task in similar ways as\nobserved in other everyday tasks, such as toy play, suggesting\nsensorimotor processes play a critical role in coordinated\nattention.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "action observation; coordinated attention; eye-\ntracking; parent-child interaction; selective attention" } ], "section": "Poster Session 2", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3149s3rd", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Ryan", "middle_name": "E.", "last_name": "Peters", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Dian", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Zhi", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Matthew", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Petersen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Chen", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Yu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Indiana University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29837/galley/19691/download/" } ] }
