The behaviors of each of eight 12- to 14-mo.-old infants were filmed at two frames per second for 15 min. Infants averaged 9.5 bouts of behavior directed toward peers, primarily looking. The median total duration of peer behavior was 92 sec.; they were alone most of the time. Objects did not seem to be mediators of peer interaction. Analysis of bout-durations indicated that, to capture sequences of “general” categories of behavior, observation intervals must be > 1 sec.; sequencing specific acts required intervals > 2 sec.
