Intentional Communicative Act
An event in which an infant directs a motor and/or vocal act toward his/her parent as evidenced by eye gaze, body orientation or physical contact, and awaited a response, as evidenced by looking at the mother, hesitating or persisting in the communicative act (e.g. the child might point at a ball, look at his/her mother and seem to await a response).
