A Lean Argument: Reply to Scanlon.
Lester, Barry M.; and Brazelton, T. Berry
Child Development, v55 n2 p672-74 Apr 1984
Replies to Scanlon's criticism of Lester, Als, and Brazelton's 1982 reanalysis of Scanlon, Nelson, Grylack, and Smith's 1979 data. Discusses the accuracy and interpretation of the ponderal index, reiterating that Lester et al. suggested a hypothesis, not a proof, that low birth weight, combined with maternal obstetric drugs, negatively affects infant behavior.
