impacts on developmental and behavioural outcomes for children.29 While the mental development of children of
mothers who were not distressed antenatally in both the intervention and comparison groups was comparable with the general population, children's development was particularly poor in the distressed subgroup in the absence of the MECSH intervention, suggesting that sustained nurse home visiting may be particularly effective in ameliorating some adverse developmental

impacts infant's cognitive processing [64], school adjustment [86], learning of word - object relations [87], naming of object wholes more
than object parts [88]; and IQ [67], [89]; (3) Synchrony is correlated with and / or predicts better adaptation overall (e.g., the capacity for empathy in adolescence [89]; symbolic play and internal state speech [77]; the relation between mind - related comments and attachment security [90], [91]; and mutual initiation and mutual compliance [74], [92]-RRB-; (3) Lack of synchrony is related to at risk individuals and / or temperamental difficulties such as home observation in identifying problem dyads [93], as well as
mother - reported internalizing behaviors [94]; (4) Synchrony has been observable within several behavioral or sensorial modalities: smile strength and eye constriction [52]; tonal and temporal analysis of vocal interactions [95](although, the association between vocal interactions and synchrony differs between immigrant (lower synchrony) and non-immigrant groups [84]-RRB-; mutual gaze [96]; and coordinated movements [37]; (5) Each partner (including the infant) appears to play a role in restoring synchrony during interactions: children have coping behaviors for repairing interactive mismatches [97]; and infants are able to communicate intent and to respond to the intent expressed by the
mother at the age of 2 months [98].
