Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy: Coordinated Timingin Development

By Beatrice Beebe, Joseph Jaffe, Stanley Feldstein

Book Overview

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.
