Acoustical Characteristics of Infant Cries: Fundamental Frequency
Murry, Thomas; And Others
Journal of Child Language, 4, 3, 321-8, Oct 77
The fundamental frequencies (Fo) of infant cries were analyzed to determine if mean cry Fo differed as a function of the infant's sex or due to the stimulus evoking the cry. Results indicate no significant differences in either; however, males exhibited a tendency to have higher mean Fo. (Author/KM)
