Newborns' Orientation toward Sound: Possible Implications for Cortical Development.

Clifton, Rachel K.; And Others

Child Development, v52 n3 p833-38 Sep 1981

Newborns were presented with a tape-recorded rattle sound through a single loudspeaker, through two loudspeakers with one onset leading the other by seven msecs., and through two loudspeakers simultaneously. Newborns turned toward the single source sound, but not toward either of the dual source sounds. (Author/RH)
