Habituation-Dishabituation to Speech in the Neonate.
Brody, Leslie R.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v20 n1 p114-19 Jan 1984
Demonstrates that both male and female neonates habituate and dishabituate to repeated and novel speech sounds. Results of a head-turning sound-localization task with 24 full-term neonates showed two basic processes: spatial orientation to sounds and response decrement to repeated speech sounds followed by response increment to novel speech sounds.
