title: Effects of familiarity and attentiveness of partner on 6-month-old infants' social engagement.
abstract: This study presents an ecological experiment investigating 6-month-olds' social engagement. Results show that infants look and smile more at a socially attending distant partner than at an inattentive partner and that their looking and smiling behavior is different when the inattentive partner is their mother.
