Abstract

The present work explores the communicative mediators involved in the interactions between adult-baby-object during the first year of life. To do this, we analyzed the interactions between two mothers, their respective babies and a maraca at 6, 9 and 12 months of age, paying attention to the instances of early joint action, the musical dynamics of the interaction and the indicators of parental responsiveness observed. Results evidenced the individual differences between the styles of interaction of both triads, as well as the various forms of adult responsiveness observed and how these affect the communicative responses of children, which were of increasing complexity. Based on this, we conclude that parental responsiveness could promote children’s social and communicative development, by offering adjusted responses within early interactions.
