🟢 Attachment: Caregiver-infant interactions Flashcards
What are the two different caregiver-infant interactions
Reciprocity
Interactional synchrony
What is reciprocity
What is interactional synchrony
When caregiver and baby interact in such ways that their actions and emotions mirror each other bc they carry out the same action simultaneously
What is an attachment
What are alert phases
How often to mothers typically pick up on and respond to their baby’s alertness
Which researchers discovered that mothers typically pick up and respond to their baby’s alertness ⅔ of the time
AND
In what year
Feldman and Eidelman (2007)
Example of a signal babies make during alert phases
Who stated that mothers responding to alert phases varies according to their skill and external factors such as stress
AND
In what year
Finegood et al (2016)
What is the active involvement in reciprocity
Babies as well as caregivers have an active role in initiating interactions
AND
They take turns in doing so
Who described the active involvement in reciprocity as a dance
AND
In what year
Brazelton et al (1975)
What can the active involvement in reciprocity be described as
A dance where each partner responds to the other person’s moves
What is Feldman’s definition of interactional synchrony
AND
What year did he say this
The temporal co-ordination of micro-level social behaviour (2007)
When does interactional synchrony begin in babies
As young as two weeks old
Describe what Meltzoff and Moore observed in 1977
AND
Describe their procedure
They observes the beginnings of interactional synchrony in babies as young as two weeks AND that the babies’ gestures were more likely to mirror the adults’ than they predicted
They did this by getting an adult to display one of three distinctive gestures and recording the babies’ response
Is interactional synchrony important for attachment
Yes
How was the importance of interactional synchrony in attachment discovered
Isabella et al (1989) observed 30 mothers and babies together and the degree of synchrony + the quality of mother baby attachment
AND
They found high lvls of synchrony were associated with better quality mother- baby attachment
Give an example of reciprocity
Give an example of interactional synchrony
