A Sensory Basis for the Lateral Difference in the Newborn Infant's Response to Somesthetic Stimulation
Hammer, Madeline; Turkewitz, Gerald
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 18, 2, 304-312, Oct 74
Cardiac response to stimulation of the left and right perioral region in infants was examined. Cardiac acceleration and ipsilateral head turning occurred more reliably to stimulation of the infant's right side than to stimulation of the left side. Results reflect a difference in sensitivity at the infant's two sides. (SDH)
