A mother's ability to identify consistently what she perceives to be communicatively salient behaviours is considered to be fundamental to the process of responding sensitively to prelinguistic infants. The present study investigated the ability of 35 mothers to identify consistently what they perceived to be communicative acts by infants at three ages (0;6, 0;9, and 1;0). Each mother coded the same videotape of her infant's behaviour on two occasions, three months apart, and observed measures of agreement (consistency) between coded records were obtained. A randomization procedure was used to provide distributions of chance levels of agreement between coded records with which observed measures were compared. Comparisons of the mothers' coded records indicated that they were able to identify infants' communicative acts consistently at each age.
母亲能够始终如一地识别出她认为具有交流意义的行为，这被认为是对处于前语言阶段的婴儿做出敏感反应过程的基础。本研究调查了35位母亲在婴儿三个年龄阶段（0；6、0；9和1；0）始终如一地识别她们所认为的婴儿交流行为的能力。每位母亲在两次场合下对自己婴儿行为的同一录像带进行编码，两次间隔三个月，然后获得编码记录之间的一致性（连贯性）观察指标。采用随机化程序来提供编码记录之间的偶然一致水平分布，以便与观察指标进行比较。对母亲编码记录的比较表明，她们能够在每个年龄阶段始终如一地识别婴儿的交流行为。
