Temperament and Tempo of Play in Eight-Month-Old Infants.
Wenckstern, Susanne; And Others
Child Development, v55 n4 p1195-99 Aug 1984
Temporal stability of play behavior and its consistency among toys differing in complexity was assessed by observing 40 eight-month-old infants. The relationship of stability of play to temperament was examined. Findings support the idea that behavioral consistency in infancy is similar to that reported for older children. (RH)
