- Description
- The current study looked at the association between infant temperament and mothers' infant-directed speech regarding adaptations to fundamental frequency () contours. contours regulate infant attention and affect, and are classified into four contours: rising, bell-shaped, slowly-falling, and rapidly-falling. Eight mother-infant dyads were recruited and participated in a 15-minute play interaction, and mothers' contours were extracted. Infant temperament was assessed using the Temperamental Adjective Triad Assessment. Significant correlations were found between infant approach and rising contours, and infant mood and slowly-falling contours, suggesting evidence of a relationship between infant temperament and mother's contours.
