The early stage of infancy is greatly characterized by rapid and significant brain growth. This growth facilitates the development of crucial neurodevelopmental capacities underlying advanced psychological and emotional well-being (Dobbing & Sands, 1973). Some accounts of early brain development argue that this growth majorly occurs within a biological context. However, others have contended that interpersonal context where structural and functional networks are shaped by the nature and quality of early caregiver-infant interactions (Newman et al., 2015) is just as important...
