Do we know the purpose of caregiver-infant interactions?
Point: Theory fails to inform us why these interactions take place
Evidence: Feldman (2012) - synchrony and reciprocity just describes the behaviour that happens at the time. can reliably be observed but not be as used to tell their purpose
Explain: However, there’s evidence that reciprocal interaction and synchrony are helpful development of mother-infant attachment as well as moral development, language, empathy etc
Link: More research in this area is needed to gain a full understanding of these particular behaviours
