.@hv_zhang @ElmlingerSteven @RachelAlbertLVC & @MikeHGoldstein (2024) found caregiver vocal (not multimodal) responses keep infants in vocal turn-taking. Multimodal flexibility in vocal turn-taking may emerge over development #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.12596

Most studies of early turn-taking focus on a “serve-and-return” model. In contrast, with @ElmlingerSteven @RachelAlbertLVC and @MikeHGoldstein, we studied the interactions that led to longer bouts of turn-taking.
