The roles of temperamental inhibition in affective and cognitive empathy in Chinese toddlers
AbstractEmpathy, crucial to harmonious interpersonal relationships and moral development, has both affective and cognitive components. Previous studies found that toddlers ’ temperamental inhibition may influence their empathy, but mainly focused on emotional response to others’ distress. Little is known about whether inhibited children's poor empathy is due to high reactivity and social withdrawal when sharing others’ affective states, such as distress (affecti ve empathy), or to a difficulty in comprehending and inferring others’ perspective (cognitive empathy). The current study investigated the role of behavior...

Vocal imitation between mothers and their children with cochlear implants
AbstractTo better explain variation in language acquisition in children with hearing loss, this study examined vocal (e.g., vocalization) and lexical (e.g., word) imitation in spontaneous interactions between mothers and children with 12 months of hearing experience using their cochlear implants (n = 12; mean age 27.9 months). Hearing children in two control groups were matched to children with cochlear implants, either by child chronological age (n = 12; mean age = 27.4 months) or by child hearing experience (n = 12; mean age 12 months). All three groups of mother–child dyads were audio‐recorded playing t...

Cracking the code: Social and contextual cues to language input in the home environment
AbstractInfants use social cues like gaze and touch, typically during joint attention with caregivers, to decipher word meaning. Yet, studies on cues to word meaning primarily rely on structured tasks, where distractors are few compared to the countless objects that vie for attention in the home environment. Forty mothers and their 13 ‐month‐old infants were video‐recorded during home routines. From transcripts, 3,000+ “naming events” were coded for social (visual and manual) and contextual (location: room and place) cues to the object of reference. Mother and infant visual and tactile attention accompanied namin...

Multimodal coordination of vocal and gaze behavior in mother –infant dyads across the first year of life
AbstractResearch examining mother –infant interactions indicates a close connection between vocal and gaze behavior. The present longitudinal study examined the development of both intraindividual and dyadic coordination of vocal and gaze behavior in mother–infant dyads at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Mother and infant vocalization and gaze behavior during in‐home toy play interactions were coded on a moment‐by‐moment basis and coordinations (i.e., co‐occurrences and sequences of behavior) were compared to randomized baselines in order to determine whether coordinate exceeded chance levels. Infants timed their own ...

Using network analysis to capture developmental change: An illustration from infants ’ postural transitions
AbstractNetwork analysis is a tool typically used to assess interrelationships between social entities in a system. In this methodological report, we introduce how concepts from network analysis can be utilized to capture, condense, and extract complex developmental changes in individual behaviors over time. Using infant postural ‐locomotor development as an example, we demonstrate how network analysis principles can be applied to rich empirical data. We used existing free‐play data from 13 infants followed longitudinally as they progressed from sitting to walking. We documented the range of postures adopted during pla...

How do toddlers evaluate defensive actions toward third parties?
AbstractDefensive behavior is a central aspect of social life and provides benefits to the self and others. Recent evidence reveals that infants evaluate third parties ’ prosocial and antisocial actions. Three experiments were carried out to assess toddlers’ reactions to defensive and non‐defensive events (N = 54). In two experiments, infants’ looking times and manual choices provided converging evidence that 20‐month‐olds understand and evaluate defensive actions, by showing that they prefer the defensive puppet over the non‐defensive puppet and that they reason on the bystander puppet's dis position. In t...

What are the building blocks of parent –infant coordinated attention in free‐flowing interaction?
AbstractThe present article investigated the composition of different joint gaze components used to operationalize various types of coordinated attention between parents and infants and which types of coordinated attention were associated with future vocabulary size. Twenty ‐five 9‐month‐old infants and their parents wore head‐mounted eye trackers as they played with objects together. With high‐density gaze data, a variety of coordinated attention bout types were quantitatively measured by combining different gaze components, such as mutual gaze, joint object looks, face looks, and triadic gaze patterns. The key ...

Integration of thought and action continued: Scale errors and categorization in toddlers
AbstractTo further explore the effect of weighted arms on toddler's performance in problem solving (Arterberry et al., 2018,Infancy, 23(2), 173), the present study explored scale errors and categorization, two instances where infants appear to show more advanced knowledge than toddlers. Experiment 1 (N = 67) used a novel task for inducing scale errors among 24‐ to 29‐month‐olds. Results replicated rates of scale errors found in previous research that used different tasks. Experiment 2 used sequential touching (N = 31) and sorting measures (N = 23) to test categorization in 24‐month‐old children. In both mea...

Infants ’ responsiveness to half‐occlusions in phantom stereograms
AbstractThe present natural preference study investigated infants 4 and 7 months of age for their ability to respond to phantom contoubrs, illusory surfaces generated by half‐occlusions in a stereoscopic display consisting of a pair of parallel vertical lines. The left line in the half‐image for the right eye and the right line in the half‐image for the left eye h ave a gap in the middle. The visual system accounts for the binocular unmatched gaps by perceiving an illusory contour. Infants in the experimental condition were presented with a standard phantom stereogram displaying a phantom contour versus a non‐sta...

Development of stereo vision in young infants
In this study, infants ’ visual processing of depth‐inducing stimuli was tested using a new method suitable for experimental settings. Stereograms of the Lang‐Stereopad® were presented in a timed preferential ‐looking paradigm to determine infants’ preference for a stereogram as compared to a stimulus not inducing an impression of depth. A total of 80 infants were tested at 7 months of age; of these, a sub‐sample of 41 infants were tested longitudinally at 4 and 7 months to characterize the develo pmental trajectory of their preference. Infants were simultaneously presented with a card showing a random‐dot ...

Using pupillometry to investigate predictive processes in infancy
AbstractPrediction, a prospective cognitive process, is increasingly believed to be crucial for adult cognition and learning. Despite decades of targeted research on prediction in adults, methodological limitations still exist for investigating prediction in infancy. In this article, we argue that pupillometry, or the measurement of pupil size, is an effective method to examine predictive processing in infants and will expand on existing methods (namely looking time and anticipatory eye movements). In particular, we argue that there are three specific features of pupillometry that make it particularly useful for augmenting...
