Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, Serial No.265, Vol.66, No.2, 2001. Coordination between infant and adult is thought to be essential to development. However, evidence on this topic is sparse. The research in this Monograph addresses the issue of vocal coordination, using an automated apparatus to examine the micro-second vocal coordinations of 4-month old infants with their mothers and with strangers.
