During their first three years of life children master the basic skills enabling them to generate with one another such coordinated interactions as games, verbal conversations, collaborative problem solving, and the resolution of conflicts. The goal of this chapter is to understand the developmental pathway to this mastery. What social, communication, and cognitive skills enable coordinated interactions and how do they develop? Are the coordinated interactions found among peers in day-care centers similar to or different from those of less familiar peers? Are peer conflicts related to cooperative coordinated action? We evaluate today’s answers to these questions and comment on the distinctive roles peer interactions may play in infant social/communicative development. First, however, we present a brief history of studies of infant peers and the changing questions that have guided them. The answers to these earlier questions are the foundation for the present attempt to trace the developmental pathway to coordinated action between infant peers.
