“…These measures of infants' attentional efficiency—face detection, attention capture, and holding—hold promise for identifying infants at heightened risk for neurodevelopmental disorders (Elsabbagh et al., ; Gliga, Bedford, Charman, & Johnson; BASIS Team, ; Machado, Whitaker, Smith, Patterson, & Bauman, ). Animal studies have a critical role in this endeavor, highlighting the phylogenetic roots and neural underpinnings of healthy and atypical social development (Gómez, ; Michel, ).…”

Face Detection and the Development of Own‐Species Bias in Infant Macaques

In visually complex environments, numerous items compete for attention. Infants may exhibit attentional efficiency—privileged detection, attention capture and holding—for face-like stimuli. However, it remains unknown when these biases develop and what role, if any, experience plays in this emerging skill. Here, nursery-reared infant macaques’ (Macaca mulatta; n = 10) attention to faces in 10-item arrays of non-faces was measured using eye tracking. With limited face experience, 3-week-old monkeys were more likely to detect faces and looked longer at faces compared to non-faces, suggesting a robust face detection system. By 3 months, after peer exposure, infants looked faster to conspecific faces, but not heterospecific faces, suggesting an own-species bias in face attention capture, consistent with perceptual attunement.

“…We, like other developmental scientists, have a long‐term goal of explaining phenotypic variation (e.g., Lickliter, 2017; Michel, 2013) within the situated, contextualized nature of development (e.g., Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Deák et al, 2013; Keller, 2018, 2019a, 2019b; Tulviste et al, 2019; Weisner, 2015). In particular, a long‐term goal is to explain phenotypic variation by linking local socialization practices to developmental outcomes in social cognition (e.g., Leavens, Hopkins, et al, 2005; Morelli et al, 2018; Nugent et al, 1989; Racine & Carpendale, 2007; Schieffelin & Ochs, 1998).…”

Joint attention (JA) is an early manifestation of social cognition, commonly described as interactions in which an infant looks or gestures to an adult female to share attention about an object, within a positive emotional atmosphere. We label this description the JA phenotype. We argue that characterizing JA in this way reflects unexamined assumptions which are, in part, due to past developmental researchers' primary focus on western, middleclass infants and families. We describe a range of cultural variations in caregiving practices, socialization goals, and parenting ethnotheories as an essential initial step in viewing joint attention within inclusive and contextualized perspectives.We begin the process of conducting a decolonized study of JA by considering the core construct of joint attention (i.e., triadic connectedness) and adopting culturally inclusive definitions (labeled joint engagement [JE]). Our JE definitions allow for attention and engagement to be expressed in visual and tactile modalities (e.g., for infants experiencing distal or proximal caregiving), with various social partners (e.g., peers, older siblings, mothers), with a range of shared topics (e.g., representing diverse socialization goals, and socio-ecologies with and without toys), and with a range of emotional tone (e.g., for infants living in cultures valuing calmness and low arousal, and

“…Houve o reconhecimento de que os dois princípios básicos da teoria de Henriques (2003) realmente propiciam a unidade desejada. O princípio Behavioral Investment interliga aspectos psicofísicos, psicobiológicos e psicossociais (Geary, 2005;Rand & Ilardi, 2005) e o princípio Justification Hypothesis é comensurável com padrões dominantes em teorias sociais (Quackenbush, 2005;Shaffer, 2005;Shealy, 2005 (Anderson, 2013), ciência natural do comportamento (Catania, 2013), radical embodied cognitive science (Chemero, 2013), ecológica (Heft, 2013), enativista (Hutto, 2013), desenvolvimento psicobiológico (Michel, 2013), psicologia evolucionária desenvolvimental (Lickliter & Honeycutt, 2013), árvore do conhecimento (ToK) (Henriques, 2013), e realismo situacional (Petocz & Mackay, 2013 (Gaj, 2016) reverbera o que tem sido apresentado até agora, mas pode ser considerado o maior tratado publicado sobre o tema por considerar todos os aspectos envolvidos: método, linguagem, leis, objeto, e fragmentação na clínica e na teoria, ilustrado por dados empíricos sobre preferências teóricas entre psicólogos italianos. O autor ainda analisou cinco proposições para a unificação da psicologia, todas já mencionadas acima: o behaviorismo funcional de Kimble (1996), o behaviorismo psicológico de Staats (1996), a teoria unificada de Henriques (2011), a teoria da informação integrada de Anderson (2008), e a teoria unificada de Sternberg (2005b).…”

Pluralidade de objeto versus pluralismo de concepções em teorias psicológicas

Unidade (pluralidade) versus desunidade (pluralismo) tem sido debate conceitual frequente em torno da existência de uma ou de várias psicologias. Na literatura, os debates se intensificaram com a série Psychology: A Study of a Science, editados por Sigmund Koch, entre 1959 e 1963. No final dos seis volumes publicados, Koch concluiu que a psicologia não é uma ciência coerente, e sim uma coleção de estudos, variando entre maior ou menor rigor científico. Desde então, o tema tem sido frequente nos poucos periódicos abertos à psicologia teórica, trazendo proposições de teorias unificadoras, defesa de unificação por áreas, ou alegações de que a grandeza da disciplina está na diversidade. O presente artigo argumenta que a premente necessidade não é de teorias que sugiram modos de unidade, mas de critérios que apontem para possibilidades de se mover com proveito entre teorias, atento às surpreendentes relações implícitas entre elas.
