A new study in eLife reveals a surprising twist in infant attention research. By 12 months old, infants do not simply respond to caregivers: they often drive attention themselves, using brain-based rhythms. Caregivers are responsive, but not in control of the interaction. This study challenges the belief that adults guide early attention and shows that […]
