Chatoor, Irene – Zero to Three (J), 2009
Sensory Food Aversion is one of the most common feeding disorders during the first 3 years of life, when young children are transitioned to self-feeding, and when issues of autonomy and dependency have to be negotiated between parents and child. In this article, the author discusses "picky eaters" and the importance of distinguishing between…

Robinson, Christopher W.; Sloutsky, Vladimir M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
Two experiments examined the effects of multimodal presentation and stimulus familiarity on auditory and visual processing. In Experiment 1, 10-month-olds were habituated to either an auditory stimulus, a visual stimulus, or an auditory-visual multimodal stimulus. Processing time was assessed during the habituation phase, and discrimination of…

Smyth, Catherine A.; Spicer, Carol L.; Morgese, Zoe L. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2014
Infants with visual impairment often require additional interaction from adults to reinforce behaviors that lead to competency at mealtimes, but parental and professional confidence in teaching these skills is often limited. In the following collective case study, the authors, a speech/language pathologist (S/LP), occupational therapist (OT), and…

Ferrari, Pier Francesco; Paukner, Annika; Ruggiero, Angela; Darcey, Lisa; Unbehagen, Sarah; Suomi, Stephen J. – Child Development, 2009
The capacity to imitate facial gestures is highly variable in rhesus macaques and this variability may be related to differences in specific neurobehavioral patterns of development. This study evaluated the differential neonatal imitative response of 41 macaques in relation to the development of sensory, motor, and cognitive skills throughout the…

Field, Tiffany – Developmental Review, 2010
This review briefly summarizes recent empirical research on touch. The research includes the role of touch in early development, touch deprivation, touch aversion, emotions that can be conveyed by touch, the importance of touch for interpersonal relationships and how friendly touch affects compliance in different situations. MRI data are reviewed…

de l'Etoile, Shannon – General Music Today, 2008
For most children, musical instruction may not begin until 3 or 5 years of age or even older. However, musical experiences can offer numerous and significant benefits during the first weeks and months of a child's life. Infants can successfully learn "about" music and "through" musical experiences. The most meaningful and appropriate musical…

Thompson, Stacy D.; Bruns, Deborah A.; Rains, Kari W. – Young Exceptional Children, 2010
For infants and toddlers demonstrating feeding problems, it is critical to find the basis for the problems to create more pleasurable mealtimes for the child, his or her family members, and caregivers. Feeding difficulties can affect general health, developmental gains, and emotional well-being. Understanding the cause of feeding problems and…

Jansen, Jarno; de Weerth, Carolina; Riksen-Walraven, J. Marianne – Developmental Review, 2008
A positive effect of breastfeeding on the mother-infant relationship is often assumed in the scientific literature, but this has not been systematically reviewed. This review aims to clarify the role of breastfeeding in the mother-infant relationship, which is conceptualized as the maternal bond toward the infant and infant attachment toward the…

Sevelinges, Yannick; Sullivan, Regina M.; Messaoudi, Belkacem; Mouly, Anne-Marie – Learning & Memory, 2008
Adult learning and memory functions are strongly dependent on neonatal experiences. We recently showed that neonatal odor-shock learning attenuates later life odor fear conditioning and amygdala activity. In the present work we investigated whether changes observed in adults can also be observed in other structures normally involved, namely…

Ben-Sasson, A.; Cermak, S. A.; Orsmond, G. I.; Tager-Flusberg, H.; Kadlec, M. B.; Carter, A. S. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2008
Background: Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) show variability in their sensory behaviors. In this study we identified clusters of toddlers with ASDs who shared sensory profiles and examined differences in affective symptoms across these clusters. Method: Using cluster analysis 170 toddlers with ASDs were grouped based on parent…

Stevenson, Richard J.; Mahmut, Mehmet; Sundqvist, Nina – Developmental Psychology, 2007
Odor naming and recognition memory are poorer in children than in adults. This study explored whether such differences might result from poorer discriminative ability. Experiment 1 used an oddity test of discrimination with familiar odors on 6-year-olds, 11-year-olds, and adults. Six-year-olds were significantly poorer at discrimination relative…

Moszkowski, Robin J.; Stack, Dale M. – Infant and Child Development, 2007
The study of infant communication during mother-infant interactions has largely focused on infants' distal behaviours, while neglecting their more proximal behaviours, such as touch. Yet, touch is an important modality through which infants and mothers communicate; it is also a vital means through which infants self-regulate and explore their…

Wittman, Peggy P.; Velde, Beth P.; Lamm, Stacey; Mohler, Marie; Thomas, Linda King – Exceptional Parent, 2007
Three months after Karen's birth, her mother desperately tried to maintain her sanity. Karen's two brothers were fine, and Karen's twin slept, ate, and bonded with members of the family; Karen, on the other hand, was a screamer. "It was like someone was cutting her limbs off with a chain saw. It went on and on, and nothing we did comforted her;…

Rieser, John; And Others – Child Development, 1976
To study sensitivity to radial location of an odor source, 20 human newborns, ranging from 16 to 130 hours of age, were presented with a small amount of ammonium hydorxide. (Author/JMB)

Donovan, Wilberta; Taylor, Nicole; Leavitt, Lewis – Developmental Psychology, 2007
When their infants were 6 months of age, mothers were assessed for self-efficacy (low, moderate, and high illusory control) and knowledge of infant development to determine their impact on mothers' behavioral sensitivity and affect during a feeding task at 9 months (N=70). Mothers' sensory sensitivity to digital images of infants' negative and…
