Infants develop social contingency detection within the first six months, distinguishing self from others. This ability fosters intersubjectivity, or shared experience, evolving significantly by 18 months.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Infant Social Cognition
  • Early Social Development

Background:

  • Social contingency detection is crucial for infant development.
  • Early interactions shape an infant's understanding of social cues.
  • Intersubjectivity, or shared experience, emerges from these early detections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the developmental origins and determinants of social contingency detection.
  • To propose a framework for understanding how infants develop a sense of self and social connection.
  • To map the evolving social stances of infants from birth to 18 months.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent research on infant social development.
  • Theoretical proposal based on existing empirical evidence.

  • Analysis of the changing meaning of contingency detection and intersubjectivity.

    • Main Results:

    • Social contingency detection originates from the infant's early ability to differentiate self from others (first 6 months).
    • Contingency detection from the second month onwards contributes to a sense of intersubjectivity.
    • The significance of contingency detection and its role in intersubjectivity undergo radical changes between birth and 18 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Social contingency detection is linked to the developing sense of self, reciprocity, and participation in infancy.
    • A developmental map of infant social stances can be proposed.
    • Understanding these origins is key to comprehending early social-emotional development.
