Abstract:	Early sharing between caregivers and infants constitutes the beginning of human social life, and its research provides valuable insights into the psychological and socio-affective sphere. In this research, I explore early sharing from the situated framework of cognitive sciences. This framework claims that cognition is a phenomenon that goes beyond the limits of the brain and includes the participation of others and socio-material resources. In that sense, this research underlines the role of corporeality, emotions, or cultural practices as valuable resources for understanding the genesis of early social cognition. Mainly, this research offers reasons to consider that sharing emerges before infants develop cognitive sophistication and can share mental states; it reveals the importance of cultural differences and local practices in analyzing early sharing; and it shows the connection between interactional dynamics and affective styles. This Ph.D. research covers six topics of the study of early sharing: a) the role of social practices in which caregivers and infants participate; b) the role of corporeal and affective aspects of interactions between them; c) the importance of the level of engagement for creating the interactional and affective style; d) the implications of interpersonal scaffolding to enculturation; e) the importance of mind-shaping process for the regulation of infants' affectivity; and f) the contributions of sustained practices over time for creating affective repertoires. This study integrates perspectives from various disciplines (e.g., psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and neuroscience) that enrich the understanding of early intersubjectivity and create an interdisciplinary approach.
