The sequence counterbalanced among participants each sound repeated three times every 10 seconds (Exposure, 30 seconds) while were instructed not interact with display neutral still-face expression. Infants’ orienting, communication, pointing toward source coded micro-analytically score (SCS) obtained by means principal component analysis. Results Infants equally oriented stimuli. All Exposure 80% exhibited any communication directed source, 48% showed at least one sound. Mothers who greater had higher probability showing no t = 2.14 ( p .035), or pointing, 1.93 .057). A significant negative linear association found between SCS months, R .07 .010), adjusting potential confounders.
