- Abstract
We provide an analysis of holdout and giving ( Ho& G) behaviours in prelinguistic infants and investigate their relationship with index finger pointing. The frequency of Ho& Gs at 10 and 11 months along with the length of the following social interaction correlated with index finger pointing at 12 months. We conclude that Ho& Gs are a precursor to index finger pointing and that this provides support for social-pragmatic approaches to communicative development.
