Cluster 2–Cluster 1 differences in transition matrices (%)

From state To state
No RE RE Child RE Caregiver RE Both
No RE − 20.4   29.2 122.9 221.0
RE Child − 23.3 − 10.1 130.2 142.2
RE Caregiver − 23.0   15.5 − 1.5   48.7
RE Both − 31.7 − 17.4 − 2.3   18.4

Computed as (TM2TM1)/TM1×100%

There are four potential states at each point of behavioral time series: No Reaching Event (No RE), Child Reaching Event (RE Child), Caregiver Reaching Event (RE Caregiver), Caregiver and Child Reaching Events happening at the same timepoint (RE Both). Each potential state transition is defined by an entry in the matrix. The value corresponding to each transition is the relative percentage difference between transition probabilities of dyads in Cluster 2 and Cluster 1 referenced to dyads in Cluster 1
