Interpersonal synchrony increases prosocial behavior in infants.

TL;DR: It is found that 14-month-old infants were more likely to engage in altruistic behavior and help the experimenter after having been bounced to music in synchrony with her, compared to infants who were bounces to music asynchronously with her.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying sources of variability in infancy research using the infant-directed-speech preference

Michael C. Frank, +148 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale, multisite study aimed at assessing the overall replicability of a single theoretically important phenomenon and examining methodological, cultural, and developmental moderators was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fourteen-month-old infants use interpersonal synchrony as a cue to direct helpfulness.

TL;DR: Synchronous bouncing acts as a social cue for directing prosociality in 14-month-olds, and has implications for how musical engagement and rhythmic synchrony affect social behaviour very early in development.
Journal ArticleDOI

How interpersonal synchrony facilitates early prosocial behavior

TL;DR: How synchrony and other cues for group membership influence early prosociality is a promising avenue for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measuring Neural Entrainment to Beat and Meter in Infants: Effects of Music Background

TL;DR: The results suggest that the frequency-tagging method is sensitive to individual differences in beat and meter processing in infancy and could be used to track developmental changes.
