CAREGIVER INFANT INTERACTIONS

CAREGIVER INFANT INTERACTIONS

1. ATTACHMENT: an emotional bond between infant and caregiver in which each seeks closeness and feels more secure in the presence of the attachment figure

2. RECIPROCITY: : taking turns responding in rhythm as if having a conversation infant and caregiver are both active contributors

3. BRAZELTON: reciprocity is important in the child's cognitive development, physical, emotional , social . basis of attachment

4. AO1

5. INTERACTIONAL SYNCHRONY: the infant imitates what they are seeing , mutual focus and mirroring of emotions must receive a response

6. MELTZOFF AND MOORE; 3 days old babies could imitate their mothers, such behaviour is innate and not learnt

7. PIAGET: pseudo -imitations, infants only repeat behaviour that they are rewarded for, if they don't get the response that they want they will not repeat the behaviour - not turning what they see into an action
