On the road to obesity: Television viewing increases intake of high-density foods
The ontogeny of face recognition: Eye contact and sweet taste induce face preference in 9- and 12-week-old human infants
Nine and 12-week-old infants (N = 140) who were either calm or crying sat facing a researcher for 3.5 min. The researcher gazed into the infant's eyes with a smiling face or looked above the infant's forehead. She delivered a 12% sucrose solution via a syringe or a pacifier, or she did not deliver anything. After the exposure period, the mother held her infant over her shoulder. Infant gaze direction was recorded while the infant faced the same r…
Taste-mediated calming in premature, preterm, and full-term human infants
Calming by sucrose and glucose was evaluated in premature, preterm, and term infants. In Experiment 1,9 preterm and 9 term infants each received 0.5 ml (0.1 ml/min) sucrose (12% w/v) solution; 9 age-matched preterm and 9 other term infants received water. In Experiment 2, 9 premature and 9 term infants received a 10% glucose solution. Sucrose reduced crying in preterm and term infants by 91% and 93%, respectively. Glucose reduced crying in premat…
Sweet taste, looking, and calm in 2- and 4-week-old infants: The eyes have it
This study investigated the effectiveness of orally delivered sucrose in calming agitated 2- and 4-week-old infants. 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. These results were confirmed in a second study in which the experimenter deliberately either held or avoided the infants' gaze. For infants who received sucrose in the absenc…
Differential effects of sucrose, fructose, glucose, and lactose on crying in 1- to 3-day-old human infants: Qualitative and quantitative considerations
This study assessed the potency of different sugars as calming agents in human infants. Five 0.1-ml aliquots of 0.51 M sucrose, fructose, glucose, or lactose were presented to 1- to 3-day-old infants who were crying spontaneously. Sucrose and fructose were equally effective calming agents, glucose slightly less so. Lactose, the milk sugar, was not at all effective and did not reduce crying any more than did water. In fact, some babies cried more …
Suckling: Determinants, changes, mechanisms, and lasting impressions
Quatre facettes de l'allaitement sont explorees: ses origines phylogenetiques, le controle comportemental et physiologique de l'attachement au mammelon et de la prise de lait, les opportunites, a travers l'allaitement, d'effectuer des apprentissages relatifs a la mere, a la nourriture, au statut social, aux membres de la fratrie, ainsi que les mecanismes sous-tendant les changements de l'enfant pouvant determiner a long terme l'evolution comporte…

Sensorimotor and motivational determinants of hand^mouth coordination in 1-3-day-old human infants
Sensorimotor and motivational determinants of hand-mouth coordination in 1-3-day-old human infants
Hand-mouth coordination was studied in l-3-day-old human infants by delivering 0.2 ml of sterile 12 % sucrose solution intraorally once every 2 min. Sucrose was extraordinarily calming and caused sustained hand-in-mouth contact. The calm state persisted well beyond sucrose termination. Hand-in-mouth behavior, however, stopped upon sucrose termination, demonstrating stimulus control over this integrated behavior. In subsequent s udies we demonstra…
Oropharyngeal control of hand-mouth coordination in newborn infants
This research identifies a coordinative structure of action that integrates hand and mouth activities within hours after birth. Infants in the supine position received 7 presentations of 12% sucrose solution. Differences in hand-mouth coordination relative to preceding and succeeding epochs of nonsucrose presentation were striking: 32% of the sucrose period was spent by infants with hands inside the mouth or in contact with it, and 18%, for the s…
