The 3 perceptual bases for communication

1 - Vision


2 - Auditory


3 - Intersensory perception

Vision broken into

Acuity (detect detail)


&


Accommodation (bring object into focus)

Fantz (1961) Infants prefer face stimuli

- Fixation time on faces


- Babies prefer face like 2d patterns compared to other patterns


- Also prefer it to jumbled face or a control pattern (2nd study)

Johnson & Morton (1991) Face like features are preferred

- Present at birth


- Stimuli face like and non face like

Auditory perception important for communication

- Babies prefer stories being read to them (DeCasper, 1986)

Kisilevsky et al 2003

- Preference for mothers voice over strangers


- measured through foetal HR, higher rate for mothers

"native listener" Werker & Tees (1992)

- At 1 month babies can discriminate equally well the phonemes of 3 languages


- This skill gets worse as time goes on

Infants build up expectations about sound patterns

- Johnson & Jusczyk 2001


- 8 month olds paid more attention to part words than random syllables

Intersensory perception

- Coordinating people and sounds to percieve them


- All prerequisites are there for babies to comminicate

Spelke & Cortelyou 1981

- Before 4 months, able to locate a person from a voice


- By 4 months, establish synchrony between face and speech


- After 4 months, start having specific expectations about correspondences between specific faces and voice

4 months

Communication is a 2 way response between adult and child

- Fernald, 1985, baby directed speech


- Babies responding using vision, voice and perception

Meltzoff and Moore (1994) Early imitation

- Imitate simple actions by adult like opening mouth


- Field et al (1982) supports them matching basic emotional adult expressions

Franco (1997) Cognitive skills indicated

- Neonate imitation shows that infants can match a model


- Meltzoff (2007) neonate imitation shows interpersonal skills, mutuality

Interactive Synchrony

- Kaye (1977) feeding pattern, cycles


- Sucking > Stop > Rocking > Sucking

Condon & Sanders (1974)

- Analysing babies movements when being spoken to


- Pauses are for turn taking not just for babies sake


- Babies move in time to rhythm of conversation, subtle turn taking

Dominguez et al (2016) Showing vocalisations & interactive synchrony

- 15 mothers talking to their newborns to record vocalisations


- Less overlapping (32%) than responding to maternal vocalisation (44%)


- Newborn vocalisations are responsive not random

Interactive synchrony = innate intersubjectivity

- Trevarthen (1993)


- Primary intersubjectivity: born with ability to use behaviours of the partner in conversation


- Immediate psychological awareness

Still face paradigm (Tronick et al 1978)

- Mothers faces are still and emotionless


- To show that infants are active contributors to social interaction


- Evokes strong changes in infant response

Legerstee & Markova (2007)

- infants show more distress to still face than 2 other instances


1) mother with mask + eye contact and voice


2) mother drinking water + eye contact


- Argue that eye contact and listening are needed for communication

Function of synchrony

- Emotion regulation: synchronous interaction regulates emotion, beyond infants own ability


-Attunement: contingent maternal responses to child to form secure attachment

Synchrony & attachment

- Main factor of predicting attachment security is sensitive responding


- Sensitive to emotions and behaviours

Isabella, Belsky & von Eye (1989) 30 mother child dyads

- 10 secure attach, 10 insecure avoid 10 insecure resist


- association found between synchrony and attachment quality


- both insecure groups lower for synchrony at 1 month

Joint attention

- A state of 2 people sharing an interest with shared understanding


- A skill of using gaze and gesture to share the attention together

Indices of joint attention changing with development

- Infants eye gaze


- Pointing


- Verbal interactions

Kaplan & Hafner, (2004) Joint attention needs

Ability to: - detect and track attention


- manipulate others attention


- coordinate the interaction


- percieve communication as intentional

Gross et al (2010) kids at different points of development

- Getting the object vs not getting it


- kids all ages repaired their requests in case of misunderstanding even when they had the object they wanted


- Communicating after obtaining goal


- Understanding > getting

Joint attention as developmental context (Yu & Smith 2016)

- Own focused attention, infants extend attention in response to a social partner paying attention


- Better language development with joint attention
