Document Summary

Important for communication: relatively advanced development, head movements have high signal value to caregiver, sleep- awake patterns increase periods for interaction, awake periods, specific action frequencies. Interactional sequences: gaze and vocalization, respond with movement and eye contact, social smile, around 3-6 weeks old, response to human face and eye gaze. Internal facial schemes: develops around 3 months, stimulus power of a given face relates to similarity to or differences from internal facial schemes. If distorted from expectations, the baby loses attention or gets upset. Infant-caregiver vocal patterns: concurrent patterns: vocalizations of infant and caregiver overlap, alternating patterns- sequential turn taking in vocalizations of infant and caregiver, around 12-18 weeks. Joint attention- gaze directed at objects: caregi(cid:448)er (cid:373)o(cid:374)itors a(cid:374)d follo(cid:449)s i(cid:374)fa(cid:374)t"s gaze, mutual gaze- infant and caregiver looking at one another, gaze coupling- turn taking interaction of making and breaking eye contact. Important for attachment: around 3 months old.
