Abstract
We replicate research on entropy of maternal sensory signals' value for cognitive development. Results demonstrate that entropy varies by stimuli present. In 120 mother-3-month-old-infant-dyads (South Africa/Malawi), maternal entropy following object touches was higher with toys present, while entropy following vocalizations was higher without toys F(3,115)=9.17,p<.001.
