1113.4 The relationship between brain development and early behavior development of
spraque-dawley rat, Wei Zou, Yaoyao Zhan, Yongkui Zhao, Bosen Feng, Institute of Life
Science, Liaoning Normal University, China
To explore the relationship between brain development and early behavior development, the infant
Spraque-Dawley (SD) rat were used respectively for testing their spontaneous behaviors,
inhibitory escaping response and behavior development, and also determine their brain weight and
the content of Zinc (Zn) in different parts of the brain at age of 1day, 11days and 21 days. Results
showed that there is a positive correlation between brain development and early behavior
development of SD rat, the high content of Zn in hippocampus and cerebellum suggested the high
content of Zn guarantee the early behavior development of the infant SD rat.
1113.5 Working memory contents and visual selective attention: An ERP study, Caiqi Chen,
Zhicheng Jin, Southern China Normal University, China
Using event-related potentials (ERPs), the study investigated the influence of working memory
contents on the guidance of visual selective attention. ERPs were recorded from 16 subjects while
performing a modified delayed matching-to-sample task during which they were first required to
hold a sample triangle in working memory, then were exposed to two triangles (one matching the
sample, the other novel), one of which was probed by a task-irrelevant dot. The results suggested
that ERPs elicited by probes showed attention-like modulations with greater amplitude responses
for dots occurring at the matching locations than dots presented at the unmatching locations.

1114.1 A comparison between children’s public deception and anonymous deception, Bing Shi,
Su Yanjie, Peking University, China
This research compared children’s public deception with anonymous deception in one competitive
game. 3, 4, 5, 6-year-olds were tested about their anonymous deceptive behavior, public deceptive
behavior, public deceptive language (lie) and false belief understanding. 4, 5-year-olds’
anonymous behavioral deception, 4-year-olds’ public behavioral deception significantly correlate
with false belief understanding; No significant correlation between public lying and false belief
understanding exists. Different from former results (Carlson, 1998), all age-groups’ anonymous
deceptions are significantly better than public deceptions. Present results suggest public deception
is not related to children’s inhibition only. The possible role of social intimidation in public
deception is discussed.
1114.2 The development of desire understanding of two- to five -year-olds, Tao Yu, Yanjie Su,
Peking University, China
Previous researches suggested the possibility of the existence of multi-levels in desire
understanding. The goal of our research is to test this possibility systematically. There are five
tasks in our research: simple desire reasoning task, desire formation understanding task,
conflicting desire understanding task, understanding own past desire task and understanding
