Neonatal Heart-Rate Response to Tactile, Auditory, and Vestibular Stimulation in Different States
Pomerleau-Malcuit, Andree; Clifton, Rachel K.
Child Development, 44, 3, 485-496, Sep 73
Newborn cardiac activity was analyzed in the context of the orienting response before and after a feeding, while sleeping and awake. Newborns tended to respond to stimuli with less variability when tested before feeding. The newborn's cardiac response to stimuli in different modalities is affected by arousal state and feeding condition. (ST)
