{"pk":28564,"title":"Action prediction during real-time social interactions in infancy","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Developmental theory considers action prediction as one of\nseveral processes involved in determining how infants come\nto perceive and understand social events (Gredebäck &\nDaum, 2015). Action prediction is observed from early in life\nand is considered an important social-cognitive skill.\nHowever, knowledge about infant action prediction is limited\nto evidence from screen-based eye-tracking tasks. Little is\nknown about action prediction in real-life action contexts. Our\naim in the current study was to provide new evidence on\nwhether and how infants anticipate actions in free-flowing\nparent-child interaction. Using dual head-mounted eye-\ntracking, we analyzed infants’ visual anticipations of their\nparents’ reaching actions while they played with objects\ntogether. Findings reveal that infants anticipate their parents’\nactions at a rate higher than would be expected by chance.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"dual head-mounted eye-tracking; action\nprediction; parent-child interaction; social-cognitive\ndevelopment"}],"section":"Papers with Oral Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/02s5k5rw","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Claire","middle_name":"","last_name":"Monroy","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center","department":""},{"first_name":"Chi-hsin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Chen","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center","department":""},{"first_name":"Derek","middle_name":"","last_name":"Houston","name_suffix":"","institution":"The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center","department":""},{"first_name":"Chen","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yu","name_suffix":"","institution":"Indiana University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28564/galley/18435/download/"}]}
