TL;DR
A measure of the time the dyads spent in a state of vocal turn-taking predicted individual differences in the infants' subsequent performance on the contingency task, parallel the social transfer effects reported earlier.
Abstract
20 3-month-old infants participated in a nonsocial contingency task immediately following a social interaction with their mothers. A measure of the time the dyads spent in a state of vocal turn-taking predicted individual differences in the infants' subsequent performance on the contingency task. These results parallel the social transfer effects we reported earlier in which the turn-taking dimension of social structure was experimentally manipulated to assess its effect on a subsequent nonsocial contingency task.

The normal feedback infants receive from their mothers in face-to-face interaction was distorted by having the mothers face their infants but remain facially unresponsive, demonstrating the importance of interactional reciprocity and the ability of infants to regulate their emotional displays.

The results of this experiment indicated that turn taking caused changes in the quality of infant vocal sounds, and when the adult maintained a give-and-take pattern, the infant produced a higher ratio of syllabic/vocalic sounds.

The still-face effect is a robust phenomenon, produced with either "live" or "televised" procedures, both of which offer promising techniques for examining models of socioemotional perception/understanding of infants.

3 experiments with 3-month-old infants compared the effects of contingent and noncontingent adult-infant social interactions on subsequent infant-controlled habituation and choice tasks and found infants who experienced a prior non Contingent social interaction tended to adopt response strategies that reduced the density of stimulation during these subsequent nonsocial tasks.
