ABSTRACT

Giving/receiving is a basic frame for communication and cognition (Vaughan 2015). Recent research shows that we are born with active intersubjective minds and that we unconsciously or pre-consciously select pertinent perceptions from a background of many others. Researchers on salience, tell us that things seem to “pop out” from a background, calling our attention to them. Adults play games with babies, smiling, nodding, saying “boo,” playing peep-eye. They “pop out” from the background, as gifts coming forward to be perceived as relevant. These games provide practice in recognizing salient events. They are prototypes for later games like throwing and catching balls, which repeat the early schema of give-and-receive.
