6. At what age does this become frequent (researcher)

  • 3 months eidelman
  • 3 months Feldman
  • 1 month eidelman
  • 2 months bowlby

7. how often do mothers pick up on these signals (researcher)

  • 2/3
  • 2/3 Feldman and Eidelman
  • 2/3 Bowlby
  • Feldman and Eidelman

8. what are alert phases

  • infant wants attention
  • mother sees baby wants attention
  • periods where babies signal they want interaction
  • baby aware of surroundings

9. extend this point

  • However, there are multiple pieces of evidence (Isabella et al.). Observation alone does not show importance.
  • observations were filmed meaning they were controlled and hadinter-rater reliability, good reliability and validity
  • had poor reliability dues to self report method

10. Who investigated Interactional synchrony

  • Meltzoff and Moore
  • Brazelton
  • Isabella et al
  • Finegood

11. What did they conclude

  • empathy was not shown at all
  • Interactional synchrony acts as a pre-cursor for empathy
  • low levels of interactional synchrony can lead to affectionless psychopathy later in life
  • interaction synchrony is a myth

12. What did Isabella et al find

  • that higher synchrony= better attachment
  • lower synchrony = better attachment
  • higher reciprocity= higher synchrony

13. what is interactional synchrony

  • parent and infants emotions become synchronised
  • parent and infant's behaviour becomes synchronised
  • parent and babies movement happens at the same time

14. Define reciprocity

  • Caregiver and baby respond to each other
  • baby copies caregiver
  • baby gives back
  • caregiver and baby respond to stimuli

15. What is one problem with caregiver infant-interactions?

  • bad validity due to self report techniques used
  • Observation does not show importance. Feldman-gives names to patterns. Not useful
  • observations were filmed meaning they were controlled and had inter-rater reliability, good reliability and validity
