The salience of maternal temporal style of playful stimulation to 3- and 5-month-old infants during free play was investigated. 32 mother-infant dyads were videotaped for 8 min of interaction which consisted of 4 2-min phases of differing maternal temporal styles: natural (usual), slower-than-usual, return-to-usual, and faster-than-usual temporal styles. Multivariate analyses revealed that changes in the pacing of playful stimulation significantly affected several infant, maternal, and interactive variables. For both the 3- and 5-month-olds, the initial phase of natural temporal style emerged as the period of most positive interactions, and the faster play phase included more positive behaviors than the slower play phase. While most maternal behaviors were very similar in the 2 phases of natural temporal style, infant and some interactive variables failed to demonstrate a return-to-baseline effect. Patterns of differential responding suggested the contributions of possible sequencing effects, infant temporal estimation capacities, and expectancies for the appropriateness of pacing in playful exchanges.
研究了在自由玩耍期间，母亲嬉戏式刺激的时间模式对3个月和5个月大婴儿的显著性。对32对母婴进行了8分钟互动的录像，互动由4个2分钟阶段组成，母亲的时间模式不同：自然（通常）、比平常慢、恢复平常、比平常快的时间模式。多变量分析显示，嬉戏式刺激节奏的变化显著影响了几个婴儿、母亲和互动变量。对于3个月和5个月大的婴儿来说，自然时间模式的初始阶段是互动最积极的时期，快速玩耍阶段比慢速玩耍阶段包含更多积极行为。虽然在自然时间模式的两个阶段中，大多数母亲行为非常相似，但婴儿和一些互动变量并未表现出回归基线的效应。差异反应模式表明了可能的序列效应、婴儿时间估计能力以及对嬉戏式交流中节奏适宜性的期望所起的作用。
