Developmental Changes in Infants' Responses to Stress.
Lewis, Michael; Ramsay, Douglas S.
Child Development, v66 n3 p657-70 Jun 1995
Observed infants' stress responses to a well-baby examination and inoculation at two, four, and six months. Found an increase in salivary cortisol level over baseline in response to the procedures and that the cortisol response decreased with age, indicating a developmental shift in adrenocortical functioning between two and six months of age.
