2. 1. Infants in Control : Prospective Motor Control and Executive Functions in Action Development

   Author : Janna Gottwald; Gustaf Gredebäck; Claes von Hofsten; Daniela Corbetta; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : infant development; action development; prospective motor control; executive functions; action planning; motor development; motion tracking; embodied cognition; developmental psychology; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : This thesis assesses the link between action and cognition early in development. Thus the notion of an embodied cognition is investigated by tying together two levels of action control in the context of reaching in infancy: prospective motor control and executive functions. READ MORE

4. 2. Voicing on the borders of language

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Language; Voicing; Listening; Non-verbal communication; Metacinematic; Rub-up; Installation; Video art; Cinema; Image; Non-retinal image; Sound; Mirroring; Mimesis; Post-cinematic affect; Autism; Aphasia; Cross-modal sensing; Synaesthesia; Psychoanalysis; Neurology; Developmental psychology; Infant development; Intensive interaction; Speech therapy; Auditory surveillance; Forensic listening; Psychiatry;

   Abstract : My research engages with the varieties of relationship between verbal and non-verbal forms of language and communication. I approach the issue through three people who live or work with non-verbal people on the autistic spectrum: Phoebe Caldwell, Fernand Deligny and Iris Johansson. READ MORE

5. 3. Joint Attention in Development : Insights from Children with Autism and Infant Siblings

   Author : Emilia Thorup; Terje Falck-Ytter; Gustaf Gredebäck; Peter Mundy; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Autism Spectrum Disorder; Joint Attention; Gaze following; Alternating gaze; Social cognition; Eye tracking; Infant siblings; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Compared to other children, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are known to engage less in joint attention - the sharing of attention between two individuals toward a common object or event. Joint attention behaviors - for example gaze following, alternating gaze, and pointing - play an important role in early development, as they provide a foundation for learning and social interaction.

6. 4. Visual motor development in full term and preterm infants

   Author : Helena Grönqvist; Claes von Hofsten; Kerstin Rosander; Audrey van der Meer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; infant development; smooth pursuit; eye tracking; reaching; preterm infants; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Smooth tracking and efficient reaching for moving objects require the ability to predict the velocity and trajectory of the object. This skill is important to be able to perceive human action and object motion in the world. This thesis explores early visual motor development in full term and preterm infants. READ MORE

7. 5. From Motion to Movements : Revelations by the Infant EEG

   Author : Pär Nyström; Claes von Hofsten; Riitta Hari; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Psychology; infant; brain; EEG; mirror neurons; ERP; ICA; MNS; Psykologi;

   Abstract : The introduction of high density EEG (hd-EEG) nets for easy application on subjects of all ages has improved the possibilities to investigate the development of the infant neurophysiology. This dissertation consists of three studies (I – III) that investigate the visual motion system and mirror neuron system of the infant, and methodological sections that outline the bioelectrical background and the characteristics of the methods used.
