Donohue, Robert L.; Berg, W. Keith
Developmental Psychology, v27 n1 p59-66 Jan 1991
Assessed infants' ability to anticipate temporally cued events by presenting trials in which an interesting event was paired with a noise, followed by trials in which the interesting event was omitted. Infants demonstrated anticipatory heart-rate responses to the interesting event and a change in response to the interesting event from general to temporally precise. (BC)
