Sweet Taste, Looking, and Calm in 2- and 4-Week-Old Infants: The Eyes Have It.
Zeifman, Debra; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v32 n6 p1090-99 Nov 1996
In one experiment, sucrose arrested crying and reduced heart rate and gross activity in 2-week-olds but was ineffective in calming 4-week-olds unless accompanied by eye contact. In a second experiment, for 4-week-olds who received sucrose without eye contact or water with eye contact, the reduction in crying was modest and not sustained. (Author/BC)
