Newborn Responses to Threshold Tactile Stimulation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yang, Raymond K.; Douthitt, Thomas C. – Child Development, 1974
A total of 43 infants were subjected to increasing intensities of a tactile stimulation (air puffs) until a behavioral response occured. All infants displayed increased heart rate responses at threshold. (ST)

Bimodal Perception in Infancy: Response to Auditory-Visual Incongruity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lyons-Ruth, Karlen – Child Development, 1977
This study tested the assimilation of an auditory-visual stimulus configuration in 32 infants aged 15 to 16 weeks. The infants' discrimination of matched and mismatched auditory-visual stimuli indicated that infants by 4 months of age are capable of constructing bimodal schemata. (JMB)

Cross-modal Transfer in Human Infants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gottfried, Allen W.; And Others – Child Development, 1977
This study investigated infants' differential responding to novel and familiar stimuli after familiarization in a different sensory modality. Results showed that infants gain information about the shape of objects from their oral experience with them and that this information can be transferred to the visual modality. (Author/JMB)

Generalization of Learning in Three-and-a-Half-Month-Old Infants on the Basis of Amodal Relations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Child Development, 2002
Investigated the extent to which 3.5-month-old infants trained in amodal auditory-visual relations between falling objects and the sounds they made could generalize their intermodal knowledge to a new task and across events. Found that infants tested with familiar events and with events of a new color or shape showed learning and transfer…

You Go This Way and I'll Go That Way: Developmental Changes in Infants' Detection of Correlations among Static and Dynamic Features in Motion Events.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rakison, David H.; Poulin-Dubois, Diane – Child Development, 2002
Four studies examined 10- to 18-month-old infants' ability to detect and encode correlations among features in a motion event. Findings indicated that the youngest infants process static features in an event independently but do not process correlations among dynamic features; the oldest detect correlations between all three features when the…
