Therefore, understanding the factors involved in their early development is of paramount importance. The present longitudinal study aimed to obtain deeper insight into the role of fathers' and mothers' mind-mindedness in toddlers' EF. The sample included 131 families visited at home when children were aged around 6 (T1) and 19 (T2) months. At T1, both parents' mind-mindedness was rated, based on a 10-min parent-infant free play period, using a widely recognized and validated coding system capturing the number of appropriate and non-attuned comments on the child's mental states (emotions, thoughts, needs, and desires). At T2, child EF were measured with three behavioral tasks targeting inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Regressions revealed that mothers' non-attuned comments were negatively and prospectively associated with all components of toddlers' EF, whereas mothers' appropriate comments were positively and prospectively associated with cognitive flexibility. Fathers' mind-mindedness was not associated with any EF components. The findings highlight the importance of maternal mind-mindedness in infancy for child EF during toddlerhood. This study provides novel insights into how maternal appropriate and non-attuned comments on children's mental states are distinctly related to child EF early in life.","PeriodicalId":47895,"journal":{"name":"Infancy","volume":"31 3","pages":"e70086"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One reason for this is that we still have not agreed how to define, operationalize, and measure joint attention. The goal of this study is to examine the impact of applying two different joint attention operationalization schemes-reflecting distinct theoretical perspectives-to the same dataset of video-recordings of semi-naturalistic toy-play interactions between 12-month-old children and their caregivers (N = 39). We identified joint attention around relevant naming events to determine how these choices affect interpretations of the role of joint attention in vocabulary acquisition. We compared a gaze-based coding scheme, consistent with associative accounts of joint attention, with a socially coordinated joint attention coding scheme, based on social-pragmatic theories that require, in addition to gaze overlap, evidence of shared awareness. We then extracted two measures from each scheme: average joint attention event duration and the temporal overlap between joint attention events and naming events (JA overlap). We found that while measures of joint attention were predictive of later expressive vocabulary above and beyond language-based measures in both coding schemes, model comparison based on AIC/BIC indicated that joint attention defined as coordinated JA was preferred over joint attention defined as gaze overlap. Furthermore, the best fitting model predicting later vocabulary favored predictors based on the coordinated JA scheme. Our results suggest that a social operationalization of joint attention leads to better predictors of later vocabulary size than a gaze-based operationalization of joint attention. In addition, the current study emphasizes the critical role of methodological choices in understanding how and why joint attention is associated with vocabulary size.","PeriodicalId":47895,"journal":{"name":"Infancy","volume":"31 3","pages":"e70088"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13157240/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147864755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, evidence from Afrodescendant rural populations remains scarce. This exploratory cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study examined associations between caregiver-reported caregiving practices and early socio-cognitive indicators in 26 children (9-36 months; M = 19.27, SD = 7.63) and their caregivers in San Basilio de Palenque, a culturally distinctive Afro-Colombian community. Caregiving practices were assessed using the Care Practices Scale, which captures the reported frequency and consistency of everyday routines and was interpreted within a nurturing care framework rather than as a direct measure of caregiving quality. Children's early socio-cognitive indicators were assessed with the Early Socio-Cognitive Development Checklist. Associations were examined using age- and sex-adjusted partial Pearson correlations, with Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate control applied to a pre-specified family of primary indicators. Caregivers reported high emotional warmth and frequent engagement in structured routines despite socioeconomic adversity. Several age- and sex-adjusted associations reached conventional significance (two-tailed p < 0.05), but none remained statistically significant after false discovery rate control (q = 0.05). Nominal patterns (prior to correction) clustered around joint-attention-related behaviors and receptive language and tended to co-occur with routine-based practices (e.g., hygiene) and relational guidance, suggesting culturally plausible hypotheses about how nurturing care may be scaffolded through everyday, interactionally dense routines. Findings are exploratory and should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, this study underscores the need for larger, multimethod, longitudinal research to test culturally grounded pathways of nurturing care in underrepresented Afrodescendant rural caregiving ecologies.","PeriodicalId":47895,"journal":{"name":"Infancy","volume":"31 3","pages":"e70090"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147864682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, predicting its emergence remains challenging because relational and psychological influences may combine in complex, context-sensitive ways that are not easily captured by traditional linear models. The present study applied a theory-guided machine learning approach to examine predictors of observed synchrony in 204 mother-child dyads (mean maternal age = 33.7 years, 89% White, 52.6%, boys mean children's age = 11.71 months), drawn from the PEACE (Perinatal Experiences and COVID-19 Effects) Study, with data collected between November 2021 and August 2022. Dyadic synchrony and affective behaviors were coded from free-play interactions using the Coding Interactive Behavior system, and psychological predictors included maternal anxiety, resilience, parenting stress, and observed affective expressions. Random Forest models were compared with linear regression, and model interpretation was supported using SHAP and ALE techniques. Linear regression showed slightly stronger predictive performance, whereas Random Forest revealed potentially meaningful non-linear and interaction-based patterns. In particular, synchrony tended to decrease under conditions reflecting imbalance between parenting stress and child positive affect, and affective mismatch showed a non-monotonic association with synchrony. These findings highlight the context-dependent nature of dyadic coordination and suggest that synchrony may emerge from configurations of stress, affect, and emotional alignment rather than from simple additive effects. More broadly, the study illustrates how interpretable machine learning can complement traditional statistical models to explore complex relational processes in early development.","PeriodicalId":47895,"journal":{"name":"Infancy","volume":"31 3","pages":"e70092"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147949965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parents' responsive linguistic input reduces uncertainty in label-referent associations and provides information at moments of infants' increased attention and receptiveness. While infants frequently lead the dyads' focus of attention, parent speech has been shown to scaffold infants' attention toward fixated objects. So far, however, little is known about the qualitative characteristics of parent speech during such interactions, and their effects on infants' attention. Here, we analyzed the role of the content and communicative intent of caregivers' speech to their 18-month-old infants (N = 31) during free play when infants or parents led an interaction, and when parent speech co-occurred with infants' sustained attention. Interactions were most likely to be infant-led, both temporally and topically, and parents' topically aligned, but not misaligned speech was associated with infants' sustained attention. Qualitative analysis of speech types revealed mostly object-focused speech in interactions with familiar objects, but a broader range of speech types in interactions with novel objects. We explain this pattern by suggesting that speech in interactions with familiar objects is structured by shared experience, whereas the lack of common ground with novel objects potentially induces parents to use more varied speech to engage their infants.","PeriodicalId":47895,"journal":{"name":"Infancy","volume":"31 3","pages":"e70089"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13139530/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
