Maternal Ratings of Temperament and Operant Learning in Two- to Three-Month-Old Infants.
Dunst, Carl J.; Lingerfelt, Barbara
Child Development, v56 n3 p555-63 Jun 1985
Relationship between maternal ratings of temperament and operant learning was examined in 18 2- to 3-month-old infants. Subjects participated in a conjugate reinforcement experiment; mothers of subjects completed the Carey and McDevitt Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire 2 to 3 days before the learning study. Two temperament dimensions, rhythmicity and persistence, emerged as significant. (Author/BE)
