MELTZOFF & MOORE (1977)

1. AIM

   • To examine interactional synchrony in infants.

2. METHOD

   • Used a controlled observation
   • An adult model displayed one of three facial expressions
   • The child's expressions were filmed

3. RESULTS

   • There was a clear association between the infants' behaviour and that of the adult model
   • Later research found the same findings in 3 day-old infants.

4. CONCLUSION

   • These findings suggest that interactional synchrony is innate.
