In this article we examine how contingency and synchrony during infant-caregiver interaction helps children to learn pay attention objects; this, in turn, affects their ability direct caregivers’ attention, track communicative intentions others. First, present evidence that, early life, child-caregiver interactions are asymmetric. Caregivers dynamically contingently adapt child more than the other way around, providing higher-order semantic contextual cues episodes which facilitate development of specialised integrated attentional brain networks infant brain. Then, describe social also facilitates child’s predictive models; and, through goal-directed behaviour. Finally, discuss behaviour can drive children's voluntarily; paves for intentional communication.
