The Effects of Sound Duration on Newborns' Head Orientation.
Clarkson, Marsha G.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n1 p20-36 Feb 1985
Two experiments assessed the importance of sound duration for eliciting head orientation responses from newborn infants. Results suggest that newborns' head orientation response may reflect a motor program that is initiated by auditory input and then executed in a similar fashion regardless of further stimulation.
