Sex Differences in Vocal Interaction with Mother and Stranger in Greek Infants: Some Cognitive Implications.

Roe, Kiki V.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v21 n2 p372-77 Mar 1985

Examined home-reared and institutionalized infants in Greece to find sex differences in social-vocal behaviors as assessed by Differential Vocal Responsiveness (DVR) to mother/caretaker versus stranger interactions. Results suggest that early differences in vocal-interactional patterns, and possibly cognitive processing, may be attributable to differences in parental behavior. (Author/DST)
