Kagan, Jerome; Snidman, Nancy; Arcus, Doreen
Child Development, v69 n6 p1483-93 Dec 1998
Observed 193 children at 4.5 years who had been classified at 4 months as high or low reactive to stimulation for signs of inhibited or uninhibited behavior. Children classified as high reactive were less spontaneous and less sociable than low-reactive children, but only a small proportion maintained a consistently inhibited or uninhibited phenotype at all ages.
