- Reciprocity
- The two-way process of interaction: behaviour from one party elicits a response from the other.
- A two-way emotional bond between two individuals in which each individual sees the others as essential for their own emotional security.
- Interactional Synchrony
- People are synchronised when they carry out the same action simultaneous-ly. This can involve imitation or mimicking.
- Tronick & Brazleton (1978)
- After a point of interaction, a mother faces her infant and holds a 'still face' for 3 minutes.
- Usually, the infant will attempt to initiate the usual reciprocal pattern of interaction using various facial expressions and gestures.
- The infant becomes agitated by failed attempts to evoke a reaction in the mother, and eventually withdraws its face and body from its mother.
- Usually, the infant will attempt to initiate the usual reciprocal pattern of interaction using various facial expressions and gestures.
- Shows that babies have an active role in initiating interaction and that when the mother does not respond, this has an effect on the infant's subsequent behaviour.
