Verbal and Behavioral Responsiveness to the Cries of Atypical Infants.
Frodi, Ann; Senchak, Marilyn
Child Development, v61 n1 p76-84 Feb 1990
Results indicated that six cries differentially affected subjects' affective, self-reported, behavioral responses and tendency to report not hearing the cry. Participants were 53 male and 65 female psychology undergraduates and 58 mothers who were exposed to one of six types of infant cries. Higher pitched cries elicited less optimal responses than did lower pitched cries. (RH)
