Peer reviewedHammer, Madeline; Turkewitz, Gerald – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974
Cardiac response to stimulation of the left and right perioral region in infants was examined. Cardiac acceleration and ipsilateral head turning occurred more reliably to stimulation of the infant's right side than to stimulation of the left side. Results reflect a difference in sensitivity at the infant's two sides. (SDH)
