Effects of Access to a Stimulating Object on Infant Behavior during Tummy Time
Kadey, Heather J.; Roane, Henry S.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v45 n2 p395-399 Sum 2012
Placing infants in a prone position for "tummy time" often is recommended to ensure appropriate infant development and to combat the effects associated with infants spending extended periods of time in a supine position. However, tummy time may be associated with inappropriate infant behavior such as crying and noncompliance. We provided continuous access to a preferred stimulus to decrease negative vocalizations and to increase the duration of an infant's head being elevated during tummy time. (Contains 1 figure.)
