An Event-Based Analysis of the Coordination of Early Infant Vocalizations and Facial Actions.
Yale, Marygrace E.; Messinger, Daniel S.; Cobo-Lewis, Alan B.; Oller, D. Kimbrough; Eilers, Rebecca E.
Developmental Psychology, v35 n2 p505-13 Mar 1999
Used an event-based approach to study the nature of coordination in 3- and 6-month olds during interaction with their caregivers. Found that infants coordinated their vocalizations and facial actions more than expected by chance. When two communicative events were temporally associated across modalities, one event tended to be embedded within the other, and vocalizations tended to end before facial actions. (Author/KB)
