A Study of Auditory Preferences in Nonhandicapped Infants and Infants with Down's Syndrome.
Glenn, Sheila M.; And Others
Child Development, v52 n4 p1303-07 Dec 1981
Eleven infants with Down's syndrome and 10 of 11 nonhandicapped infants operated an automatic device which enabled them to choose to listen to nursery rhymes sung or played on musical instruments. Both groups preferred the singing, and the Down's Syndrome infants had much longer response durations for the more complex auditory stimuli. (Author/DB)
