  text: 'In a longitudinal naturalistic study, we observed German mothers interacting
    with their infants when they were 3 and 6 months old. Pursuing the idea that infants’
    attention is socialized in everyday interactions, we explored whether eye contact
    is reinforced selectively by behavioral modification in the input provided to
    infants. Applying a microanalytical approach focusing on the sequential organization
    of interaction, we explored how the mother draws the infant’s attention to herself
    and how she tries to maintain attention when the infant is looking at her. Results
    showed that eye contact is reinforced by specific infant-directed practices: interrogatives
    and conversational openings, multimodal stimulation, repetition, and imitation.
    In addition, these practices are contingent on the infant’s own behavior. By comparing
    the two data points (3 and 6 months), we showed how the education of attention
    evolves hand-in-hand with the developing capacities of the infant.'
