Emory, Eugene K.; Noonan, John R.
Developmental Psychology, v20 n3 p354-57 May 1984
Classified fetuses as accelerators or decelerators based on intrapartum fetal heart rate (FHR). Explored the relationship of the classification with gestational age and neonatal behavior in clinically healthy neonates to provide an empirical basis for using FHR in the study of infant behavior. Subjects were 48 "healthy term" or "healthy preterm" accelerators and decelerators. (RH)
