Abstract: This research introduces how BabyX, an AI-driven simulation of an infant, can be used to modulate joint coordinated engagement. We show how caregivers adjust their behaviours contingent on the simulation’s communicative cues. This work demonstrates BabyX’s potential as a research tool to uncover the dynamics of early caregiver-infant interaction.
