Peer reviewedHoffman, Howard S.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Five experiments using identical reflex modification procedures on neonates and adults suggest developmental differences in processing auditory stimuli. Neonates failed to exhibit reflex inhibition by either prior acoustic or tactile stimuli. Adults exhibited robust reflex inhibition to these same stimuli. Developmental processes implied by these…

Peer reviewedAdamson, Lauren B.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1987
The selection of acts from the stream of infant behavior is examined. Adults (140 mothers, fathers, and other men and women) viewed videotapes of 9-, 15-, and 21-month-old infants. One half noted meaningful acts; the other half noted intentionally communicative acts. Parents selected more meaningful acts than nonparents and agreed more about…

Peer reviewedSamuels, Curtis A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Thirty-two three-month-old infants participated in two experiments showing color videotapes of facial stimuli in a paired comparison format. Suggests that contrast in effect of eye contact availability and rather subtle stimulus motion (blinking) implies that three-month-old infants are comparatively insensitive to being the object of another's…
