我们进行了一项自然主义研究，其中德国母亲在换尿布期间与三个月大的婴儿进行互动，这是一项日常活动。遵循“声学包装”教育婴儿注意力的理念，我们探讨了自然互动中婴儿的言语输入是否同时包含动作信息。应用微观分析方法，我们首先通过识别身体运动和声音活动的类别（我们称为声音类型）来定性分析数据。我们使用这些类别来观察母亲的多模态交互实践，并描述日常活动的交互生态。其次，我们定量分析了语言（以不同声音活动的形式）和动作（以身体动作的形式）的共现。我们发现，在与婴儿的早期互动中，德国母亲在整个互动时间的相当一部分时间里，与动作有着紧密的时间关系，从而使声音信号对婴儿来说既可感知又可触摸。
We conducted a naturalistic study in which German mothers interacted with their three-month-old infants during diaper changing as an everyday activity. Following the idea that "acoustic packaging" educates infants' attention, we explored whether the verbal input to the infants in natural interactions simultaneously contains action information. Applying a micro-analysis method, we first analyzed the data qualitatively by identifying classes of body movement and vocal activities (that we called vocal types). We used these categories to observe the multimodal interaction practices of mothers and to describe the interaction ecology of everyday activity. Second, we analyzed the co-occurrence of language (in the form of different vocal activities) and action (in the form of body movements) quantitatively. We found that during early interaction with infants, German mothers vocalize in a tight temporal relationship with action over a considerable part of the overall interaction time, thereby making the vocal signal both perceivable and tangible to the infants.
