Coordinated interpersonal timing in preverbal mother-child interactions is assumed to be one fundamental feature of interpersonal relatedness and the basis for parent-child bonding. The ubiquity of and early evidence for this phenomenon in ontogeny hint at its biological "prewiredness" and relevance for development. The quality of interpersonal timing in early preverbal parent-child interactions was hypothesized (and partially shown) to predict quality of attachment, level of cognitive functioning, and patterns of language acquisition. The aim of this study was to investigate the assumption of a facilitating effect of adequate interpersonal coordination (measured by quality of attachment) on the development of verbal communicative competence in children during the first stages of language development. On the basis of longitudinal data for 25 mother-child dyads, videotaped when the children were 17, 23, 30, and 36 months old in a free play and a short separation situation, it was investigated whether securely and insecurely attached children differ with respect to the amount of verbal contributions, their realization as alternating or simultaneous utterances, and the duration of intra-turn and inter-turn pauses. The results show that attachment was related to children's use of communicative competence especially in stressful situations, its development being paced by the age or maturation of the child.
在语言前的母婴互动中，协调的人际时机被认为是人际关联的一个基本特征，也是亲子关系建立的基础。这种现象在个体发育中的普遍性以及早期证据暗示了其生物学上的“预布线”以及与发育的相关性。早期语言前亲子互动中的人际时机质量被假设（并部分得到证实）能够预测依恋质量、认知功能水平以及语言习得模式。本研究的目的是调查在语言发展的最初阶段，适当的人际协调（通过依恋质量来衡量）对儿童言语交际能力发展的促进作用这一假设。基于25对母婴二元组的纵向数据，这些数据是在孩子17、23、30和36个月大时，在自由玩耍和短暂分离情境下拍摄的视频，研究了安全型依恋和不安全型依恋的儿童在言语贡献量、交替或同时发声的实现方式以及轮内和轮间停顿持续时间方面是否存在差异。结果表明，依恋与儿童交际能力的使用有关，尤其是在压力情境下，其发展受儿童年龄或成熟度的影响。
