Examine the role of synchrony in infant development. Begin by describing what synchrony is and how it is developed. Then discuss the developmental outcomes of little or no synchrony in an infant's life
What will be an ideal response?
Synchrony is a coordinated interaction between infant and caregiver that develops
through ongoing experiences. Infant and caregiver learn to read each other's
signals, expressions, and gestures. It is the root of attachment and helps infants
begin to learn to take turns and pay attention. Infants need responsive caregivers to
develop normally; little or no synchrony makes it difficult for infants to connect to
people and form attachments.
