We examined immature wild chimpanzees' attention-sensitive gesturing, that is their ability to adjust the sensory modality of their gestures to the visual attention/inattention of their mother. Chimpanzees were first capable of deploying audible-or-contact instead of silent-visual gestures when visual attention was unavailable, that is, cross-modal adjustment, before being able to inhibit their silent-visual gestures, that is, unimodal adjustment. Infants did not display attention-sensitive gesturing while adolescents did, and juveniles presented an intermediate pattern with cross-modal adjustment preceding and predicting unimodal adjustment and with high variability in the age at the onset. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAidTwBvwFPmh5gka3tE7KKOogBuc7Clj
