Abstract
The current study examined whether infants use previous encounters for maintaining expectations for adults’
contingent responding. An unfamiliar adult responded contingently or non-contingently to infant signaling during an initial play
situation and 10 min later presented an ambiguous toy while providing positive information (Experiment 1; forty-two
12-month-olds). The infants in the contingent group looked more at the adult during toy presentation and played more with the toy
during the concluding free-play situation than the infants in the non-contingent group. When the parent had responded contingently
or non-contingently to infant bids (Experiment 2; forty 12-month-olds), the infants in the contingent group tended to look more at
the parent and tended to play more with the toy than did the infants in the non-contingent group. The results indicate that from
just a brief exposure, infants form expectations about adults’ responsiveness and maintain these expectations of
contingent/non-contingent responding from one situation to another.
期刊介绍：
This international peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artificial systems. Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artificial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning.
