Infant Habituation: Assessments of Individual Differences and Short-Term Reliability at Five Months.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Habituation to single female faces and to single geometric patterns was observed separately in two groups of infants who participated in two sessions separated by 10 days. Habituation was found to be distributed into three patterns and showed moderate but significant reliability between assessment sessions. (Author/RH)

Continuity in Mental Development from Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bornstein, Marc H.; Sigman, Marian D. – Child Development, 1986
Reviews bases for contemporary discontinuity theories of mental development, presents findings that support alternative proposition of continuity and scrutinizes assessment methods from which these continuity results derive. Also offers several models that help explain the continuity findings, and argues that individual differences in mental…

Play in Two Societies: Pervasiveness of Process, Specificity of Structure.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bornstein, Marc H.; Haynes, O. Maurice; Pascual, Liliana; Painter, Kathleen M.; Galperin, Celia – Child Development, 1999
Compared exploratory, symbolic, and social play and interaction of Argentine and U.S. 20-month olds and their mothers. Found patterns of cultural similarity in sex differences and differences in the use of exploratory and symbolic play. Overall, Argentine and U.S. dyads used different modes of exploration, representation, and interaction,…
