How learning to shake a rattle affects 8-month-old infants’ perception of the rattles sound: Electrophysiological evidence for action-effect binding in infancy

摘要

* 8-month-old infants trained with a novel rattle for one week and experienced a contingent relation between action and sound. * During the subsequent test phase infants’ EEG was recorded. * Infants listened to the rattle's sound and two other sounds. * More mu desynchronization (i.e., motor activation) for the rattle's sound compared to the other two sounds.
