Mother-Infant Interaction in the Emergence of a Tool-Using Skill at Mealtime
This study provides a detailed description of the process of the emergence of the utensil-using skill of infants to control encounters with food and mother-infant joint action that surrounds the emergence of this context-specific skill. Longitudinal observations from the first contact with a utensil to the beginning of successful self-feeding with a utensil found that there was an extended period of exploratory utensil use that precedes the use o…
Bio-Inspired Design of Soft Robotic Assistive Devices
Wearable assistive robotic devices are characterized by an interface, a meeting place of living tissue and mechanical forces, at which potential and kinetic energy are converted to one or the other form. Ecological scientists may make important contributions to the design of device interfaces because of a functional perspective on energy and information exchange. For ecological scientists, (a) behavioral forms are an assembly of whole functional …
A Dynamical Systems Approach to Infant Oral Feeding and Dysphagia
A dynamical systems approach to infant feeding problems is presented. A theoretically motivated analysis of coordination among sucking, swallowing, and breathing is at the heart of the approach. Current views in neonatology and allied medical disciplines begin their analysis of feeding problems with reference to descriptive phases of moving fluid from the mouth to the gut. By contrast, in a dynamical approach, sucking, swallowing, and breathing a…
Development of Infant Action Systems and Exploratory Activity
I use Edward S. Reed's work on action systems as a framework to discuss an ecological approach to the development of infant action. I use illustrations from infant action to argue that during development, infants make use of the intrinsic dynamics of their spontaneous motor activity, under a variety of task constraints, to create a small set of action systems. The paper focuses on dynamical systems that generate oscillations as the basis for obse…

Caregiver-Child Interaction in the Development of Self
A way of updating Mead's half-century old formulations is suggested. It entails regarding Mead's formulations as one of a class of interactionist theories of the genesis of self. Such theories regard the internalization of symbols and social relations as the basis of self development and stress the role of the interaction between caregiver and child. Sensitizing concepts developed by other theorists, namely, zone of proximal development (Vygotsky…
