Vocalization and Looking Behaviour of Down's Syndrome Infants.

And Others; Gunn, P.

British Journal of Psychology, v70 pt2 p259-63 May 1979

Effects of mothers' contingent and non-contingent vocal stimulation on vocalization and looking behavior was investigated in 10 Down's Syndrome infants. Neither condition increased infant vocalization but results suggest that looking behavior may be an important indication of competence in pre-linguistic social communication for developmentally delayed infants.
