Natural pedagogy as evolutionary adaptation (2011, positive): “For example, infants expect that ostensive signals will be followed by referential signals [4], pay preferential attention to generalizable kind-relevant features of objects that are referentially identified by demonstrative communicative acts addressed to them [5,6], learn causally opaque means act”
Does prosody make the difference? A meta-analysis on relations between prosodic aspects of infant-directed speech and infant outcomes. (2017, positive): “Singh, Morgan, and Best (2002) confirmed this hypothesis, showing that the only condition in which infants prefer IDS compared to ADS is when IDS was rated positive and ADS neutral.”
The eye contact effect: mechanisms and development. (2009, positive): “Refs [28, 60 ]). It is also possible that other manual behaviours indicate communicative intention in some conditions (e.g.”
At 6–9 months, human infants know the meanings of many common nouns (2012, background): “For example, 6-moolds follow an adult’s gaze when the adult signals an intent to communicate, but not otherwise (32).”
Recognizing Communicative Intentions in Infancy (2010, background): “…to produce overt gaze-following in infants as young as 6 months (Gredebäck et al., 2008), elicits this behaviour only if it is preceded by an ostensive signal such as eye contact, or infant-directed greeting (Senju and Csibra, 2008), or contingent responsivity (Deligianni et al., in preparation).”
Role of facial expressions in social interactions (2009, background): “Belief in this promise is nicely demonstrated in the behaviour of infants in a study by Senju & Csibra (2008).”
Robustness and Precision : How Data Quality May Influence Key Dependent Variables in Infant Eye-Tracker Analyses (2014, neutral): “To assess these predictions we analyzed data from a corpus of 92 typically developing 9-to 15-month-old infants viewing a gaze following paradigm (Senju & Csibra, 2008).”
Cross-species variation in gaze following and conspecific preference among great apes, human infants and adults (2014, methodology): “…to the stimuli used in experiment 1 so that infants could release attention from the model’s face and follow at least the gaze of the human model (for details, see Methods and Appendix) as in many previous studies with the eye-tracking method (von Hofsten et al., 2005; Senju & Csibra, 2008).”
Invisible Man (2014, background): “Participants showed an enhanced tendency to follow another’s gaze when the other had established eye contact with them beforehand (Bristow, Rees, & Frith, 2007; Senju & Csibra, 2008) but also when two faces looked at each other before providing gaze cues (Böckler, Knoblich, & Sebanz, 2011).”
