“…Our coding system focused on conventional vs non-conventional object use by the parent, by distinguishing focalisations, functional and relational games (Belsky & Most, 1981;Fenson, Kagan, Kearsley, & Zelazo, 1976;Sinclair, 1982) from what I would like to call creation and recreation games (see Table 1). This parental play behavior is coded within a game episode by categorizing the parent's behavior that solicited or initialized the game sequence.…”

“…It concemed all toddlers' behaviors in terms ofplay actions from easy manipulation to complex pretend play toward the objects. The coding categories were based on traditional ones (Belsky & Most, 1981;Fenson, Kagan, Kearsley, & Zelazo, 1976;Sinclair, 1982). These categories are detailed in Table 2.…”

“…Non traditional objects were: coloured cubic sponges, polystyrene chips, chinese sticks of different lenghts and wooden spatulas. This kind of traditional objects have often been used in related researches (Belsky & Most, 1981;Fenson, Kearsley, & Zelazo, 1976;Power, 1985). The results of the previous study (Fefeu, 1989) show that nontraditional ob'~ects allow the parent to perforrn several utilizations if combined with the traditional objects.…”

The purpose of the paper is threefold. First, ir presents empirical data about paternal and maternal games displayed with toddlers in a ptay situation with polyvalent objects. Both parents proposed predictable routines through conventional games. But differenees in parental games also occurred, as fathers proposed new ways of using the objects through non conventional games more than mothers did. Second, those results are interpreted in terms of paternal specific contributions to development, ln fact, in such play situations with toddlers, pc, ternal behaviors are more destabilizing than maternal ones. Last, we di~cuss whether paternal irregularities in such play situation with ok,]ects may favor cognitive development, as well as structurant maternal regularities in the same situation. More generally, the complementa,p~ contributions of maternal and paternal perturbations in different kind of situations (play, language developmenO are questioned.

“…This age span was deemed ideal because independent studies have found this period to include the onset age of both functional play with objects (Belsky & Most, 1981;Fenson, Kagan, Kearsley, & Zelazo, 1976) and of gesture production (Bates et al, 1975;Capirci, Iverson, Pizzuto, & Volterra, 1996;Carpenter, Nagell, & Tomasello, 1998).…”

“…As described in Dimitrova and Moro (2013), we determined the time intervals during which infants used objects. Following Fenson et al (1976), object use was defined as instances when the infant had simultaneous visual and tactile contact with one or several toys and interacted with them. The onset and offset time points were determined according to the uniformity of the action.…”

The present study was motivated by a concern with the cognitive processes that infants bring to bear on stimulation offered by adults. As previous studies have highlighted the importance of parental stimulation with objects, this study consisted of an experimental investigation of this context of stimulation. It was hypothesized that adults' actions that demonstrate the functions of toys activate a comparator process in 9-month-old infants. It was predicted that prior exposure to the toy in a stationary state would increase attention to a demonstrative action, as the comparator process requires time over and above the local processing of an event. This prediction was borne out: 9-month-olds infants' attention to the demonstration of the functions of a toy was augmented by immediate prior exposure to the toy in a stationary state. By contrast, attention to other actions which did not demonstrate specific functions was either significantly reduced by prior exposure to the toy, or unaffected. Moreover, 16-montholds who are better able to perform a broad range of actions with objects, did not show increased attention to a demonstration of functions when prior exposure to the toy was provided.
