Infant Neural Sensitivity to Dynamic Eye Gaze Relates to Quality of Parent–Infant Interaction at 7-Months in Infants at Risk for Autism
Links between brain function measures and quality of parent-child interactions within the early developmental period have been investigated in typical and atypical development. We examined such links in a group of 104 infants with and without a family history for autism in the first year of life. Our findings suggest robust associations between event related potential responses to eye gaze and ...

Infant eye gaze is frequently studied because of its relevance as an indicator of early attention and learning. However, the coupling of eye gaze with an individual’s head motion is often overlooked. This paper analyzes how head motion develops within a social interaction context. To measure this interaction, we developed an approach that can estimate infant head motion from ego perspective rec...

متن کاملParent-infant interaction in infant siblings at risk of autism.
Recent models of the early emergence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) propose an interaction between risk susceptibility and the infant's social environment, resulting in a progressively atypical developmental trajectory. The infant's early social environmental experience consists mostly of interaction with caregivers, yet there has been little systematic study of early parent-infant interacti...
