Abstract

This article presents a literature review focusing on the neural and psychophysiological correlates associated with social communication development in infancy. Studies presenting evidence on infants’ brain activity and developments in infant sensory processing, motor, cognitive, language, and emotional abilities are described in regard to the neuropsychophysiological processes underlying the emergence of these specific behavioral milestones and their associations with social communication development. Studies that consider specific age-related characteristics across the infancy period are presented. Evidence suggests that specific neural and physiological signatures accompany age-related social communication development during the first 18 months of life.

摘要

本文介绍了一篇文献综述，重点关注与婴儿期社会交流发展相关的神经和心理生理学相关性。提供有关婴儿大脑活动和婴儿感觉处理、运动、认知、语言和情感能力发展的证据的研究描述了这些特定行为里程碑出现背后的神经心理生理过程及其与社会交流发展的关联。提出了考虑整个婴儿期特定年龄相关特征的研究。有证据表明，在 生命的前 18 个月，特定的神经和生理特征伴随着与年龄相关的社会交流发展。
