Respiratory and cardiac interoceptive sensitivity in the first two years of life Infants are sensitive to their own respiration and heartbeat already in the first two years of life.

Do babies sense their own body rhythms? Our new paper on 🫀 & 🫁 interoception in 👶 is now out in @elife.bsky.social: Respiratory and cardiac interoceptive sensitivity in the first two years of life doi.org/10.7554/eLif... @kinderstudien.bsky.social @univie.ac.at led by @markustuente.bsky.social

Individual Differences in Infants' Speech Segmentation Performance: The Role of Mother‐Infant Cardiac Synchrony Caregiver-infant coregulation is an early form of communication. This study investigated whether mother-infant biological coregulation is associated with 9-month-olds’ word segmentation performance, ...

Development of Auditory and Spontaneous Movement Responses to Music over the First Year of Life Humans across cultures not only share the ability to recognise music but also respond to it through movement. While the sensory encoding of music is well-studied, when and how infants naturally start ...

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶
While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Stefanie Höhl holding her book titled Das größte kleine Wunder.

First time holding my book ✨ I had so much fun writing about the absolute miracle that is the first years of human development. For parents, practitioners and anybody interested in the latest research on early social, cognitive and emotional development 👶 Babies are the best 🫶
