Heart Rate and Behavioral Measures of Attention in Six-, Nine-, and Twelve-Month-Old Infants during Object Exploration.
Lansink, Jeffrey M.; Richards, John E.
Child Development, v68 n4 p610-20 Aug 1997
Examined the effect of heart rate and behavioral measures of attention on infants' distractibility. Found longer distraction latencies during attentional engagement as defined by heart rate changes or behavior than for inattentive periods. Infants had longest distraction latencies when heart rate and behavior measures both indicated engagement. Latencies were shortest for congruent values of inattention. (Author/KB)
