Abstract
We examined the development of infant multimodal coordination with familiar and unfamiliar partners in real-time. The dependence of infant smiling on gaze state and the dependence of gazing on smile state was stronger at 4 than 8 months, and particularly accentuated when infants interacted with mothers (vs. fathers and strangers).
