Bradley-Johnson, Sharon; Johnson, C. Merle; Swanson, Jennifer; Jackson, Amy – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 2004
This study examined exploratory behaviors used by 12 infants who were congenitally blind and 12 infants who were sighted to note similarities and differences in exploration. By including both groups of infants and matching the infants by age and their mothers' education, direct comparisons could be made between the groups. No differences were…

Nelson, Charles A.; Salapatek, Philip – Child Development, 1986
When six-month-old infants are preexposed to one stimulus, they are later able to remember that stimulus and distinguish it from a previously unseen, novel stimulus; degree of experience with one stimulus and the magnitude of novelty effect positively covary. Neurological substrates of infants' memory skills are described. (RH)

Bove, Celeste F.; Flugrath, James M. – Volta Review, 1973
Twenty-five noisemakers were analyzed with regard to amplitude versus frequency to determine their potential effectiveness for use in pediatric audiological evaluations. (Author)

Ball, William; Dibble, Ann – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1980
Results of two studies were consistent with the view that 3-month-old infants perceive movement in depth during their own movement. They can move to avoid a surface just prior to contacting it. (Author/RH)

Soroka, Sherri MacKay; And Others – Child Development, 1979
Forty 10-month-old infants were given two minutes to explore tactually an object in a totally darkened room. Subsequently, during a two-minute test trial in the dark, 10 infants were given the same object and 10 were given a novel shape. Novel shapes were manipulated significantly longer than familiar forms. (RH)

Caulfield, Rick – Day Care & Early Education, 1994
Notes that early infancy, rather than being a period of helplessness, is a period of active exploration and reciprocal interaction with caregivers. Includes activities caregivers can engage in with infants to stimulate infant sensory abilities. (HTH)

Lewkowicz, David J. – Developmental Psychology, 1988
To investigate sensory dominance in early development, a series of studies examined six-month-old infants' processing of multisensory stimulus compounds. Findings indicated that infants discriminated changes in the temporal characteristics of the auditory component but not in the visual component. This and other findings suggested that auditory…

Lewkowicz, David J. – Developmental Psychology, 1988
Involving 10-month-old infants, a series of studies examined responses to temporally modulated compound auditory-visual stimuli. Findings indicated that, although the auditory modality can dominate the visual modality at 10 months of age, the visual modality can process temporal information when the temporal relationship of the information in the…

Barringer, Mary-Dean – 1982
The 33 lesson plans are intended to enhance the sensorimotor intelligence period of severely/profoundly handicapped children. It is stated that the conceptual framework of the "Stimulating Our Senses" (SOS) program is based on the description of sensorimotor intelligence by J. Piaget and attempts to strengthen growth and development in…

Hammer, 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)

Sears, Carol J. – Infants and Young Children, 1994
This article defines tactile defensiveness as a sensory processing problem that results in aversive responses to touch. The article outlines causes, presents sample behaviors to assist in recognizing the possible presence of this dysfunction in infants and toddlers, and offers suggestions to assist in coping with and seeking appropriate treatment…

Faber, Melissa M. – 1991
The purpose of this study was to determine whether context facilitated memory and whether this facilitation was still evident after a delay. Infants were expected to recognize pictures significantly longer when they were tested with the same context cues. This context effect was expected to be even after a 5-minute delay. The subjects were 64…

Przybocki, Mary, Ed.; Miller, Stephanie A., Ed. – PAM Repeater, 1984
The guide presents information on approximately 150 toys useful for infants and children with sensory impairments. The toys listed are available from stores found nation-wide and the list is organized according to age level (infants, toddlers, and elementary levels). A brief description, price, source, and coding of types of skills the toys may…
