Requests (\u201cmilk\u201d) and protests (\u201cno!\u201d) are fundamental ways that infants communicate their needs. However, understanding what an infant wants from a single word can be challenging. Caregivers likely rely on infants' gestures and actions to interpret single\u2010word utterances. How common are requests and protests during everyday activities? To what extent do infants accompany their requests and protests with gestures (e.g.,\u00a0points to request) and\/or actions (e.g.,\u00a0flailing arms to protest)? Are caregivers more likely to respond to such \u201cmultimodal\u201d requests and protests than to infants' words alone (i.e., unimodal speech)? We observed 31 toddlers (12\u201324\u00a0months) with their mothers during everyday interactions at home. In aggregate, infants expressed 2580 single\u2010word utterances, with nearly half being requests (35%) or protests (8%). Most requests and protests (84%) were multimodal, occurring in the context of actions (mostly) or gestures. Unexpectedly, although infants' gestures\/actions often \u201caligned\u201d with their words in meaning or intent (e.g.,\u00a0saying \u201cno\u201d while pushing a toy away), infants also displayed \u201cmisaligned\u201d gestures\/actions (e.g.,\u00a0saying \u201cno\u201d to one toy while reaching for another). In particular, infants\u2019 aligned\u2019 multimodal requests and protests were more likely to elicit a response from mothers than were their words alone. Findings underscore the embodied and embedded nature of early communication in the natural home setting: Infants express their intentions by coupling words with gestures\/actions, and certain types of multimodal communications are more effective than others in fulfilling their goals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/infa.70094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]],"date-time":"2026-06-18T03:37:33Z","timestamp":1781753853000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Infants' Multimodal Requests and Protests Elicit Responses From Mothers During Everyday Home Activities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1341-4564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristy H.","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Psychology, New York University  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huanhuan","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Psychology, New York University  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0448-3671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lillian R.","family":"Masek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Psychology, New York University  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5900-9670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catalina","family":"Suarez\u2010Rivera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Psychology, New York University  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9071-4028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine S.","family":"Tamis\u2010LeMonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Psychology, New York University  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tics.2025.05.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1130324"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467\u20108624.2004.00732.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev\u2010psych\u2010010418\u2010102836"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00426\u2010019\u201001168\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","first-page":"468","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society","author":"Alibali M.
