      Evidence supports Meltzoff and Moore's findings
    • evidence
      Murray and Tervarthen (1985) studied two-month-old infants using interactions with their mothers via a video monitor
    • explain
      When mothers did not interact with their infants, via the monitor, infants showed distress and tried to attract their mother's attention. The infants independently showed a response rather than showing a behaviour that had been rewarded by the mother replicating it back
    • link
      This suggests that the infant is an active and intentional partner in the infant-caregiver relationship
