Peer reviewedMurray, Lynne; Trevarthen, Colwyn – Journal of Child Language, 1986
Describes an experiment which tested the infant's sensitivity to the timing of the mother's responses by arranging a video system so that mother and baby each saw a full-face, life-size image of the other on a video screen. Results provide evidence for the infant's active role in interaction with adults. (SED)
