Individual results on the Mother–Infant Bodily Overlap task showing the proportion of looking time that each infant allocated to each stroking pattern when viewing the mother or the stranger. Fifteen of 21 infants (71%) had a greater preference for synchronous stimulation when observing the mother as compared to when observing an unfamiliar woman. Strip‐chart points indicate pairs of raw data points from individual infants, reflecting individual differences in looking preferences. Boxplot whiskers denote ± 1.5 × interquartile range limits.
