Abstract

In this study we discuss about the activity of making senses in early life pointing to settings in the
operation from co-regulated processes. This is a case study, with longitudinal data of interaction from one
dyad mother-babe. From a micro-genetic analysis it was demonstrated a developmental trajectory of
communicative actions mediated by toys. In this trajectory we highlight profiles from sharing attention
that was in frequent reorganizations. The making sense activity was designed as responsivity acts which
were linked to the past experiences and anticipation of possibilities of future experience involving the toy.
It was concluded that the making sense are situations of momentary resolution of tensions promoted by
this dynamic of actions, that reflect simultaneously past and future.
