The Infant's Role in Mother-Infant Communications.

Murray, Lynne; Trevarthen, Colwyn

Journal of Child Language, v13 n1 p15-29 Feb 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)
