1-126 - Infants and Their Caregivers in Concert: Developmental Perspectives on Interpersonal Neurophysiology and Behavior

Thu, March 21, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Baltimore Convention Center, Floor: Level 3, Room 322

Session Type: Paper Symposium

Integrative Statement

Caregiver-infant relationships are part of a suite of coordinated neural, physiological, and behavioral dynamics that set the stage for social development in the early years. The proposed symposium features three studies investigating the intertwined nature of these processes. The first presentation examines the role of neural and endocrine systems in dyadic interactions and social development in early life. The second presentation examines age-related patterns of stability and change in socioemotional and physiological self- and co-regulation between mothers and infants. The third presentation examines individual differences in infant white matter tracts and their relation to mother and infant co-regulation. By combining behavioral observations during typical and disrupted caregiver-infant interactions with neurophysiological methodology, these studies provide a multi-faceted perspective of brain-body systems operating in concert as part of interpersonal coordination and contributing to social development. The discussant is an expert on neurobehavioral and socioemotional development who pioneered methods used by the presenting researchers.
