Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy: Monographs for the Society for Research and Child Development (Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development)

Coordination between infant and adult is thought to be essential to infant
development. However, the study is theoretically and methodologically grounded in a dyadic systems perspective and relational psychoanalysis. Our automated apparatus explores the
micro-second timing of 4-month infant-adult vocal coordination to predict 12-month infant attachment and cognition. This work also further defines a fundamental dyadic timing matrix
that guides the trajectory of infant development.
