Audio recorders, accelerometers, and cameras that infants wear throughout their everyday lives capture the experiences that are available to shape development. Everyday sensing in infancy reveals patterns within the everyday hubbub that are unknowable using methods that capture shorter, more isolated, or more planned slices of behavior. Here, we review ten lessons learned from recent endeavors that removed researchers from designing or participating in infants’ experiences and instead quantified patterns that arose within infants’ own spontaneously arising everyday experiences. The striking heterogeneity of experiences – there is no meaningfully “representative” hour of a day, instance of a category, interaction context, or infant – inspires next steps in theory and practice that embrace the complex, dynamic, and multiple pathways of human development. |
