Rhythm serves as an important scaffold in the development of language and social engagement and communication skills. Our research investigates how rhythmic entrainment relates to language development in infants. We use acoustic analysis, movement analyses, and eye-tracking to examine visual and vocal attention and interpersonal synchrony.
