Adults' Interpretation of Infants' Acts.
Adamson, Lauren B.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n3 p383-87 May 1987
The selection of acts from the stream of infant behavior is examined. Adults (140 mothers, fathers, and other men and women) viewed videotapes of 9-, 15-, and 21-month-old infants. One half noted meaningful acts; the other half noted intentionally communicative acts. Parents selected more meaningful acts than nonparents and agreed more about selection of all acts.(Author/BN)
