Psycho essay
[First off, what the buggery is this? - http://mimind.blogpsot.com ]
How do children communicate before they can speak?

- mutual gaze - staring into mother's eyes. Sense of profound communion, but more for mother
- mimicking facial expressions - learns to associate smile/movement of facial muscles (?) with happiness, & ecstatic feeling it gives, plus the feedback from others (mainly mother/primary care-giver [PCG])
- communicating through manipulating objects?
- crying
- pointing
- babbling
- tantrums
They don't really grasp the concept of communication for some time.
When do infants grasp that they can interact with & manipulate the world around them (things and people), as opposed to just absorbing everything?
Trevarthen & intersubjectivity
- up to 4/5 months old babies just stare/mutual gaze
- about 5 months - "Praxic Mode" eg manipulating objects. Babies prefer interaction with objects as opposed to people/PCG (study?)
- by about 8 months the two converge to a simliar level
Neonatal imitation (of pcg's facial expressions)
- Trevarthen - inbuilt, natural thing
- Piaget - these imitations are reflexes

Right, that's enough for now. Go get ready for the biggest party of your life.
