Abstract
•Infants were exposed to different types of sensitive behavior to examine effects on infants’ attention.•Infants changed their patterns of visual attention due to exposure to vocal and nonvocal sensitive partners.•Infants had longer durations of sustained attention to toys but shorter durations to the social partner, and fewer shifts when interacting with a nonvocal than a vocal social partner.
We exposed infants to different types of sensitive behavior to examine effects on infants’ attention. Results revealed infants changed their patterns of visual attention; infants had longer durations of sustained attention to toys, shorter durations to the social partner, and fewer attention shifts when interacting with a nonvocal social partner than when interacting with a vocal social partner.
