Very few studies have assessed infant capacity for bidirectional, contingent communication at birth, and to our knowledge there are none with\u00a0preterm infants\u00a0in the\u00a0neonatal period. Presence versus absence of such interactive contingency makes a difference for our theories of development. We examined whether preterm infants can contingently coordinate behaviors with mothers and fathers in spontaneous communication in the Neonatal\u00a0Intensive Care Unit\u00a0(NICU), and whether mother\u2013infant versus father\u2013infant engagement and contingency differ. Twenty Italian preterm infants (60% girls, born 27\u201333 weeks, largely\u00a0middle-class\u00a0families) lying in a heated cot in the NICU were videotaped at 35 weeks with mothers, and fathers (counterbalanced), in face-to-face communication. Videotapes were coded on a 1-s time-base with parent and infant engagement scales. Multilevel\u00a0time-series\u00a0models evaluated self-contingency (auto-correlation) and interactive contingency (lagged cross-correlation). Mothers (vs. fathers) showed higher levels of engagement, interpreted as more arousing. Fathers (vs. mothers) showed more midrange engagement, interpreted as less \u201cdemanding\u201d of infant engagement. Infants were more gaze-on-parent\u2019s-face and gaze-on-environment with mothers than fathers. Fathers interacted contingently with infants, whereas mothers did not. However, infants interacted contingently with mothers, but not fathers. When infants were in lower engagement levels 1 second prior, fathers stayed in lower engagement levels in the current second, closer to infants than mothers. We suggest that fathers were more coordinated because fathers were more able to join the infant\u2019s dampened state. We suggest that infants were more coordinated with mothers because mothers were more socially stimulating, and more familiar. We conclude that preterm infants, shortly after birth, are capable of contingent communication.<\/p>\n
