Developmental changes in the games played by [human] mothers and infants during normal activities at home were studied. Fourteen mothers and infants were observed when the infants were 6, 8 and 12 mo. of age; 80 min of data were collected at each age. With age, games became more frequent and infants became increasingly likely to initiate them. Games in which infants played a relatively passive role, frequent at 6 mo., were replaced by 12 mo. with games in which infants played an active role, using newly acquired behaviors. In the games that were played at all ages.sbd.peekaboo, ball and vocal.sbd.infant participation shifted from passive enjoyment at 6 mo. to active involvement at 12 mo. Rank correlations across age for games were moderately high. The sensitivity of mothers in adjusting their own behavior to keep pace with their infants'' development was illustrated. The structure of mother-infant games may serve both as an index of infants'' social skills and as 1 context in which infants acquire these skills.
