Abstract
Successful
social
interactions
between
mothers
and
children
are
hypothesised
to
play
a
significant
role
in
child's

cognitive

development.
Earlier
research
has
confirmed,
through
structured
experimental
paradigms,
that
these
could
be
underpinned
by
coordinated
neural
activity.
Nevertheless,
the
extent
of
synchrony

remains
largely
unexplored.
In
this
study,
we
investigated

We

SignificanceA
fleeting

with
an
object
remaining
