Description
The present longitudinal, naturalistic research focuses on the systematic investigation of the possibility of emergence and development of rhythmic imitations and synrhythmias, in natural mother-infant interactions, from 1 to 10 months. To date, the possibility of the joint emergence and emergence of imitation and rhythm, in the form of rhythmic imitation, in mother-infant interaction from 1 to 10 months has not been investigated. In the present study we found and micro-analyzed 830 rhythmic communicative episodes. The mother- infant interaction is based on the triptych of music-movement-speech. The primary and secondary means that this triptych gives infants, toddlers, and young children are the tools with which they make sense of the world in which they grow. They are the primary tools with which they interact with this world and significant others. These show us the techniques we should adopt not only in arts education but generally in education through arts.
