Peer reviewedSheppard, Justine Joan; Mysak, Edward D. – Child Development, 1984
To document movement patterns and to examine developmental interrelationships, the ontogeny of rooting, lip, lateral tongue, mouth opening, biting, and Babkin reflexes and the development of emerging chewing behaviors were observed in two normal infants over a period from 1 week to 35 weeks of age.

Peer reviewedKorner, Anneliese F.; And Others – Child Development, 1989
Studied 112 preterm infants to determine developmental changes and stability of individual differences. Results indicate significant developmental gains with age, and highly significant individual stability of performance across age. (RJC)

Peer reviewedColombo, John; And Others – Child Development, 1988
Visual behavior of infants was assessed with multiple discrimination tasks week to week from four to seven months of age. Task to task reliability was low, but attentional averages from week to week were reliable. Generally, infants with shorter fixations showed more novelty preferences, and infants' shift rate improved with age. (SKC)

Peer reviewedMatheny, Adam P., Jr.; And Others – Child Development, 1981
Mothers were interviewed periodically over the first six years of their same-sex twins' lives and were asked to contrast them on specific behaviors. Intrapair contrasts were moderately stable across age spans for as long as 18 through 36 months. Genotypic similarity was apparently associated with intrapair similarity in emotionality and…

Peer reviewedPlomin, Robert; DeFries, J. C. – Child Development, 1983
Provides an overview of a longitudinal, prospective, multivariate adoption study of behavioral development and discusses the results of analyses of cognitive measures and environmental assessments as examples of the types of information that can emerge from a design of this sort. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewedCaspi, Avshalom; Silva, Phil A. – Child Development, 1995
Studied whether behavioral styles at age 3 are linked to personality traits at age 18 after identifying 5 temperament groups (undercontrolled, inhibited, confident, reserved, and well-adjusted). Results pointed to continuities across time. (DR)

Peer reviewedBattle, Esther S.; Lacey, Beth – Child Development, 1972
Purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the environmental and behavioral factors in children's day-to-day lives that are associated with hyperactivity and to examine its stability over time. (Authors)

Peer reviewedMalatesta, Carol Zander; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Using a longitudinal design, investigates the interactive behaviors of mothers of normal infants and mothers of infants who are known to differ on a host of cognitive, behavioral, and biological parameters. Examines the developmental course of emotional expressivity in these infants. (HOD)

Peer reviewedBlock, Jeanne H.; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Reports on a longitudinal study that provides a prospective view of children's personality functioning prior to their subsequent experiencing of divorce. Shows the behavior of boys as early as 11 years prior to parental separation or formal dissolution of marriage to be consistently affected by predivorce familial stress. (HOD)

Peer reviewedWartner, Ulrike G.; And Others – Child Development, 1994
Examined the concordance between mother-infant attachment behavior and patterns of mother-child reunion responses when the children were age six. Found that concordance between four types of attachment status was 82%. Also found a correlation between children's observed social competence at age five and their reunion patterns at age six. (MDM)
