Changes in Tactile Responsivity during Sleep in the Human Newborn Infant.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1978
Responsivity to graded tactile stimuli was examined in human newborns in successive epochs of active and quiet sleep. Heart rate and behavior were both used as response indices. (Author/SS)

Can Newborns Discriminate between Their Own Cry and the Cry of Another Newborn Infant?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dondi, Marco; Simion, Francesca; Caltran, Giovanna – Developmental Psychology, 1999
Two experiments tested whether newborns could discriminate their own and another newborn's cry. Results indicated that awake newborns expressed facial distress more frequently and longer to another newborn's cry than to their own. Sucking decreased significantly between pretest phase and first minute of another infant's cry. Asleep infants'…

The Characterization of Neonatal Behavior: A Dimensional Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yang, Raymond K.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1976
Measures of active sleep, quiet sleep, sucking, crying, body size and gestational age were factor analyzed for 137 normal newborns at 2 days of age. The results yielded 3 stable factors: reactivity-irritability, maturity, and reflexive and discriminative sucking. (JMB)

The Discriminating Nature of Infants' Exploratory Actions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Palmer, Carolyn F. – Developmental Psychology, 1989
Two studies involving 108 infants of 6, 9, and 12 months showed that providing infants with multiple action-relevant properties elicits a rich action repertoire. (RJC)

Infants' Association of Linguistic Labels with Causal Actions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Casasola, Marianella; Cohen, Leslie B. – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Six experiments examined infants' ability to associate nonsense words with two causal actions: pushing and pulling. Eighteen-month-olds, but not 14-month-olds, formed word-action associations. Fourteen-month-olds discriminated a change in label but not a change in action when the other was held constant. When language labels were replaced with…

Learning and Discrimination of Audiovisual Events in Human Infants: The Hierarchical Relation between Intersensory Temporal Synchrony and Rhythmic Pattern Cues.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewkowicz, David J. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Three experiments examined 4- to 10-month-olds' perception of audio-visual (A-V) temporal synchrony cues in the presence or absence of rhythmic pattern cues. Results established that infants of all ages could discriminate between two different audio-visual rhythmic events. Only 10-month-olds detected a desynchronization of the auditory and visual…

Infant Sensitivity to Deviations in Dynamic Facial--Vocal Displays: The Role of Eye Regard.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Caron, Albert J.; Caron, Rose; Roberts, Jennifer; Brooks, Rechele – Developmental Psychology, 1997
Three experiments compared infants' reactions to videos of normally responsive women varying in eye contact. Found that, relative to frontal faces, three-month olds smiled less at images averting head and eye (H&I), head alone (H), and closing eyes (ECL) but not at averting eyes (E). Five-month-olds smiled less at H&I, E, and ECL but not…

Intersensory Redundancy Guides Attentional Selectivity and Perceptual Learning in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E.; Lickliter, Robert – Developmental Psychology, 2000
Three experiments assessed the intersensory redundancy hypothesis in early infancy. Findings indicated that habituation to a bimodal rhythm resulted in discrimination of a novel rhythm, whereas habituation to the same rhythm presented unimodally resulted in no evidence of discrimination. Temporal synchrony between the bimodal auditory and visual…
