Abstract

From the perspective of communication theory, this paper summarizes two common types of communication: verbal and non-verbal forms, and explains the relationship between nonverbal communication and nonlinguistic communication, followed by a discussion of the definition of verbal communication, physiological mechanisms, acquisition theory and stages of development during infancy, as well as definition and theory of non-verbal communication, and common types during infancy. At the same time, from the perspective of influence on infants, the multimodal forms composed of the attributes of verbal and non-verbal forms and the related factors surrounding infants are discussed, which include the interplay of verbal and non-verbal interactions and the integration between different types of non-verbal behavior, as well as the physiological and environmental factors that influence infants' communication development. Finally, the complexity and importance of communication development in infants are summarized and propose a referable development direction for more in-depth research into the use of science for properties that are only theoretical.
