Impaired sensorimotor synchronisation (SMS) to acoustic rhythm may be a marker of atypical language development. Here, Motion Capture was used to assess gross motor rhythmic movement at six timepoints between five- and 11-months-of-age. Infants were recorded drumming to acoustic stimuli of varying linguistic and temporal complexity: drumbeats, repeated syllables and nursery rhymes. Longitudinal analyses revealed that whilst infants could not yet reliably synchronise their movement to auditory rhythms, infant spontaneous motor tempo became faster with age, and by 11-months, a subset of infants were able to decelerate from their spontaneous motor tempo, to better accord with the incoming tempo. Further, infants became more regular drummers with age, with marked decreases in the variability of spontaneous motor tempo and variability in response to drumbeats. This latter effect was subdued in response to linguistic stimuli. The current work lays the foundation for using individual differences in SMS in infancy to predict later language outcomes. |
