Infant Affective Reactions to the Resumption of Maternal Interaction after the Still-Face.
Weinberg, M. Katherine; Tronick, Edward Z.
Child Development, v67 n3 p905-14 Jun 1996
Investigated infants' reactions to the face-to-face/still-face paradigm. Infants reacted to the still-face with negative affect, a drop in vagal tone, and an increase in heart rate. By contrast, they reacted to the reunion episode with a mixed pattern of positive and negative affect. (HTH)
