{ "pk": 49999, "title": "Do infants use cues of saliva sharing to infer close relationships? A replication of Thomas et al. (2022)", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "In their 2022 study, Thomas and colleagues found that when observing third-party interactions, infants, toddlers, and children might use saliva-sharing as a cue for inferring relationship thickness. The present study is the first external attempt to replicate their key findings with infants aged 8.5 to 10 months (n = 50). We used the original stimuli and the original design, but instead of running the study online and coding gaze direction manually from video recordings, we tested infants in a laboratory and measured gaze behavior with an eye tracker. Our study successfully replicated one of the main findings of the original study (longer looking at the saliva-sharing actress) while failing to replicate the other one (looking first at the saliva-sharer). These findings confirm that infants rely on certain behavioral cues for mapping social relationships among third-party individuals.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Psychology; Social cognition; Eye tracking" } ], "section": "Abstracts with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4wr3w1dw", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Beyza Gokcen", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ciftci", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Central European University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jonathan", "middle_name": "F.", "last_name": "Kominsky", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Central European University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Gergely", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Csibra", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Central European University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-02T00:00:00+06:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49999/galley/37961/download/" } ] }
