for one thing, it's the feeling. it's a distraction, because, LATELY, they haven't felt like that very much. also, while being bounced, it's easy to forget other things that are going on, like a dog that only barked once, for example.
for another, when you bounce the child, you are giving them attention. it might not be eye contact, but babies learn a lot from their sense of feel. you must be present to be able to bounce them. when there _is_ eye contact, the person doing the bouncing is usually amused at the baby's amusement, which further amuses the child

Because they are used to getting bounced all the time when they are inside your body.

I think it's because its the same sensation when they was in the womb - when we walk - babies bounce!
