Video recordings of caregiver-infant interaction
Video recordings of caregiver-infant interaction involve capturing conversations and activities between a caregiver and an infant on video. Researchers analyze these recordings to observe behaviors such as eye contact, gestures, vocalizations, and emotional responses. This method helps understand how caregivers support an infant’s development, attachment, and social skills. It provides detailed, real-time insights into early interactions, allowing for assessment of typical or atypical development and informing strategies to promote healthy growth and bonding between caregivers and infants.
